but by the want of it" -so says Ben
Franklin. If you are oue of those who
have tried a Fountain Pen and been
disappointed, or if you are one of those
who never had any faith in them, say-
ing in your haste, "there is no such
thing as a satisfactory Fountain Pen,"
we want you to come in and
TRY A
WATERMAN PEN
Yon are just in proper condition to
appreciate its ever -ready features, the
free ink supply, its smoothness, and
general convenience. It's a little higher
in price than some pens, but it's this
extra that makes it better than the
others; you gets all you pay for and no
honest man asks for more. Of course
we have the cheap kind too, as cheap
as $1.25. They are excellent value for
'the money too. They have surprised
some to whom we have sold there with
their so satisfactory results. If you
are skeptical about Fountain Pens let
us have a chance to convert you.

penetrated his body a distance of about

Clothing Store
1 li. CV's "sliwAtia-'isliewllte 11 sesslik-1wsile.••Ilt►-sri✓allike1►
Selling the most reliable Clothing in Western
Ontario --and building up a trade that keeps on
getting larger year by year. There is a reason for
this and it lies in the fact that we are selling good
goody at low prices. Our store is a progressive
one, constantly forging ahead, and placing before
the public a class of goods not seen elsewhere. Take,
tint instance, our
$1O Men's Suits
They are cut, made and trimmed in a manner totally
different from ordinary ready-mades, and nothing in
this section of the country can equal them for the
hooey. Then again our
$5 and $7 Suits
stand as the greatest bargain ever offered and our
trade is something wonderful in these lines. Buy
ers of Clothing should see our stock before buying.
