T. AbO J. THOMSON'S SPECIALS. PRICE THE BEST SALESMAN. ALL-ROUND SOLID VALUE DOES IT. WE make no change in our methods. Seasons change. Fashions change. People may change, but there is only one way of doing tilings properly. We have had a good season. There has been a continual opening of heavy purchases from England, from Ireland, from Scotland, the Continent of Europe, United States, Australian Continent, and with it all have left room to bring heavy clearing lines here at end of the season. Notably in Dresses and Furnishings have we been on the up grade. The profits are not large, but the quantity turned out is. In Millinery our superior styles and low prices have affected the sales materially, and we anticipate a complete clearance by the end of the season. Look at windows, they will bear inspection. Waterproofs, Capes, Blouses, Mantles, Costumes, we hold in splendid variety, and in these classes special concessions have been secured. Price for Capes begins at 7s lid. Price for Blouses begins at Is 6d. To Country Customers, to Townspeople, to all classes we say see our Stock. We have no travellers, but inspect the Patterns. Compare the Prices. Look at the Stuff and judge for yourselves. Do not take us at our own valuation. WE KEEP ONLY ENTIRELY RELIABLE GOODS. Material that can be knocked about for years and then come up smiling.
