He wants the newest shades in hats which are just a little different and just a little smarter. This pian .will enjoy a trip through our store. He will find that we've selected the right new ideas for him. We've even gone into the question of bis leisure moments—to provide hint with lounging robes and the softest of kidskin slippers. To the man who is not afraid to be different we extend a personal invitation to visit us and see for himself how many interesting ideas we have for him —all at our usual low luiees.

I would like to have printed the communications I received prior to my purchase of the hotel for which I paid :$5,5500 although it had been offered to others for $3,500. First is a telegram dated June 3, 1938 which reads: "Have ptachaser for hotel who requires tenant. Will have something definite en this by Wednesday next week. ` At that time will advise ydu :tether." (Signed.) Canada Trust. Next, a letter' from The Canada Trust, London, dated June 8, 1938: "Following our telegram of recent date, we beg to advise you that a syndicate headed by Mayor 'George Elliott of the Town of Clinton is contemplating the purchase of the Rattenbury Hotel. Before making a final decision they request that you interview them relative to a lease. I may say that this syndicate is very anxious that the hotel belsopened up and run, as we know you can do. I{indly get in touch with .them at your earliest convenience. (Signed) E. V. Smith, Estates Department. At the above;nleeting I offered to take a controlling interest in the hotel if they (the syndicate) were short on the ?purchase price. Mr. Elliott went out and came back to say the syndicate wanted to know how much furniture I was going to install He promised me exemption' of taxes for five years if I bought the building myself and I finally did so for $5,500 although I find now that even during the time before I made the deal it was being offered for $500. I would like to know why the price was boosted $2,000. Possibly through these channels the true state of affairs can be determ- ined. Yours truly, M. J. McKENZIE.

Brickendes of Lon- don was out visitor. He is a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Johin Brick- enden and was for many years traveller for a dry. goods firm in this part of the country. He got. his start in life by learning his trade with Fisher fie Barton, at that time one of the best dry goods stores in Huron County. That was in 1872. The store was in the block where Wendorf's, Ferguson's and Ctich's stores are now. Later Mr. Bricken- den moved to Sit, Maryls and for sixty years has been a resident. of :London. Before his retirement ho was traveller for a wholesale cloth- ing firm and recalled the days when he travelled by train where possible, then reached outlying places by hir- ing a rig, from the liveries, Last weekend Mi'. Briekenden came to Clinton to visit the graves of his parents and speaks highly of the well kept cemetery where many of his fernier- school friends lie at rest. "Walking through the, cemetery and reading many familiar names is al- most like meeting . old friends" he said. "The cemetery is wonderfully well kept. I was pleasantly surpris- ed. It is as neat as any city ceme- tery and every grave is well looked after. .It is a credit to the town and surrounding country." • Since the death of his wife, Mr. Brickenden has made his home with one of his two sons, Arthur, a' sue., cessful lawyer ..in London. The wether .son,.'' Fred,. ,is a •• .citil: engineer. in Winnipeg. Naturally many changed have taken place since Mr. Brickendeii was a boy. He remarked that very few of his former school chums were living' here now Jalthough he had had an interesting time renewing acquaintances with a few who still remain.
