It is not my custom (as is v*ry often done by pome shop-keepers), to bring off the back shelve 8 las year's Goods, and advertise them as ' New Stock." I would specially call the attention oc parents and guardians to the shipment of JUVKNILE HUITS. Although only opened out last week, their adaptability both nsregards stylo and material, has caused more than half ot them to be sold. Those therefore who wish to see the rising generation " smartly dressed for the Holidays, should without delaypaya visit to my establishment. FIRST COMB, FIRST SERVED. ssr SPECIAL. Among tho Shipment will bo found also EXTRA LARGE Men's Trousers and Vests—a want which was hitherto much felt. PRICES. As I have to send Home shortly a large sum of Money to secure my next Winter Stock (at the usual large discount for Cash), I ca» con fidently assure the public that the whole shipment will, be sold at such, low figures as is not likely to occur again for ?omo time. " Small Profits and-Quiok Returns" has always been my motto, and this is the secret of my business still increasing. TOWN AND COUNTRY PEOPLE, Look in at the OLD SHOP before going elsewhere.
