W INGHAM STORES
WELL PREPARED
All Set for the Last -Minute Shopper.,
Wingham merchants are nearing
the end of the hardest year of busi-
ness depression in Canada's history=.
Unemployment and decreased 'incom..-
es have played havoc with every bus-
iness. To balance the books at the
end of the year is going to be a diff-
icult task, for this .class, the largest
taxpayers in the town,
Throughput the years ` the merch-
ants have stood behind, the town arid
its activities. vtties. Baseball and hockey
have been sponsored and the business
men in general have been generous
in their support of everything worth-
while in the town.
There is every reason therefore, for
the general public to show their ap-
preciation of these efforts by buying
locally. this Christmas. . We do not
suggest this purely on patriotic
grounds alone, but because we are
confident that the local merchant of-
fers
ffers you value that cannot be improv-
ed upon elsewhere. We care not wliat
you want in the way of a gift, for we
are sure that the local merchants can
supply it The old bug -bear about
prices has been exploded long ago,
and a glance through the advertise-
ments in this issue of The Advance-
Times will reveal to the careful ob-
server that ,prices in Wingham are
equal orlower than prices in city
storess. Merchants are not afraid to
make comparisons, they welcome
them.
It doesn't matter whether the gift
you want is. a radio, refrigerator or
washing machine, or a lowly celluloid
doll' for some youngster, you can get
it here. Be the lucky recipient of the
gift, man, woman or child, there %s
something in .a Wingham store that
will make their hearts glad.
This year as never before people
have left their Christmas buying un-
til the last minute, but Wingham mer-
chants are well prepared. If you have
not already made up your, list, do so
now and shop in Wingharn with con-
fidence.
Church and Life Movement

Church and Life Movement of the
