However, among this diversity of opinion, it is pleasing to know that the public are unanimous in the opinion thai Lock's is far and away the cheapest and best house in the city for general house furnishings, pianos, organs, go-carts, prams, etc. They have confidence thai fair and square dealing can. be depended on. There is not the shadow of douM but that Lock holds the largest and mosi up-to-date stock in the city. Lock is a complete furnisher and direct importer from the English and Continental markets. At Lock's you get the widest choice, the best value, and easiest terms. So it is no Avonder that he does the bulk of the furnishing trade of the place.
