Retiring From BUSINESS genie:tie Inetinnau:n For the past: twenty-five years, I have cerried on a successful B000k, Stationery, Wall Paper and, Fancy Goods bueiness. Commencing on TUESDAY, APRIL 1ST, 1902, every article in my store will be offeeed for riale at COST, LESS THAN COST, and in many caees at ONE.HALF REGULAR PRICE. My reason for so doing is that I am retiring from bueiness. This will give the peoPle of Seaforth an oppartunity to buy BOOKS, STATIONERY, WALL PAPER, WINDOW SHADES, CURTAIN POLES, Of al) kinds at prices that never have been offered before and are not likely to occur again in many yeare_ The biggeat values will be in the WALL PAPER AND WINDOW SHADE DEPARTMENTS You may have thought that you would put oft repaperiag your house or some par- ticular room this spring because it was going to cost too much. You will change your mind now after you have seen the values I am offering. Watch tor the -large sale bills and prices. Conte in and see for yourself. Everything sold for cash, No goods onapproval. Your money back if goods are not as represented. Fuller announcements later. If you ever bought bargains in your life, this is ens chance in a thousand to save money. A little money will go a long way at this sale. Tell your friends that you are going to take -in this chance. Advise them also to do so. In the meantime do no buy- ing of Wall Paper or Window Shades until you have had a talk with me. C. W. PAPST9 The largest Dealer in Books, Wall Paper, Stationery and Fancy Goods in the County.
