UR CLOTHING
Clifford Hitchens of Cobonrg fell out
of a canoe in RIoe Lake and was drowned.
Mr. B.O. Walker has declined the Con-
servative nomination for the Commons
in South Essex,
Merit that brings a second order
on the strength of the first. What
we do and the way we do it is our
strongest argument. We are try'•
ing to increase our business by giv-
ing all we can and taking as little
as possible.
And we'll succeed, of course. We
have a fall supply of everything
that pertains to the making of
Suits.
And our work costs as
little as any in the country.
