Morning, .181arch lith.. Editorial Note8; SURE TO BE A RECORD BREAKER ThIS. YEAR The fruits of long and liberal planning are ripe—WHITE* GOODS BARGAINS—very liberal bargains, Six months ago our buying syndicate placed their order with one of the largest manufacturers in Canada * for over Ten Thousand Dollars worth of White Goods I Now, every person knows that quantity buying reduces cost, and opportunities offered to a large business that smaller houses are not allowed to see, and if we hadn't taken the Manufacturer and. Time by the forelock, and -pressed down the prices by reason of the large orders we gave, we would have to charge you from ten to 25 per centmore than the very low pr ices we are naming during this sail). This White Goods Sale shows a double saving, for we got in ahead of the present extremely high prices, but just as soon as present stocks in the hands of dealers is exhausted (and that may come soon) there will be another story to tell, Quoting the Dry Goods Economist, New York City, it says : "Prices are hardening. Situation becomes more serious on both cottons and linens. A large volume of staple goods is now held in what jobbers call prohibitive or impossible prices. Owing to the low demand, curtailment of production is increasing snd stocks in manufacturers hands are almost nil." Now, in the face of all sorts of things to keep prices UP, our sale prices are down below regular lair prices. ' This sale is important to those who like to make money by spending it well—buying cottons and linens at these prices is like buying sugar at two cents a pound. Bring this list with you as a'retninder and to compare with the goods—you'll find them just as we • say.
