A Friendly Chat
It is with pleasure that we again sit down and write
out our weekly chat with our many customers, and
the mothers in particular. It is a well known fact
that economy is a chief trait in the character of the
average Canadian mother, and we, as sons of these
same mothers, are proud of it. Yet there is certain
kinds of work intended to be economical, when the
result is quite the reverse.One kind is the making
of Boy's and Children's Clothing at home. We now
address ourselves to the mothers of large families of
boys, and we assure you that the variety and excel-
lence of the stock of BOY'S CLOTHING we exhibit
is unequalled in western Ontario. Further, that
when you have access to this stock it is indeed a
waste of time and a weariness both to heart and
frame to continue the old and laborious method of
providing your boys with Clothing at home. The
• folloNving are a few leaders:
A SCHOOL SUIT - - AT $1.00
A HEAVY BLUE SERGE AT 1.50
A DURABLE TWEED - AT 2.00
Then comes the Great Suit at 3.00
Andrnever forget to buy a pair ofthose 85c Pants
Every purchaser who pays cash foi a $3 SUIT and up-
wards, gets. a FINE BAT AND BALL.
