WHO CAUSED IT Our readers. the general
public, have had the advantage of very low pri.
ces in boots and shoes this winter, much lower
than ever before. The competition has been 40
lively in this trade that such goods have bsen
sold at cost, and often below. This has bsen the
means of saving thousands of dollars to the peo-
pie. They appreciate this, but perhaps do no.
all know to whom they are indebted for first re.
ducing these low prices, and for keeping them
down ever SINCE and for selling boots, shoes and
everything in that line even under cost figures
That man is Mr.. Joe. Megafin. whose extensive
establishment will be found On La Sale street,
I'd door north Of the FREE TRADER Office He
bought his large stock at the east when prices
were at the very lowest notch, while bis compe.
titors purchased at nearly the highest figures,
conseQ sently, he could far undersell their cost
prices, and still make living profit This is
Why Joe. Aegaf6u has taken the lead In Ottawa
all the fall, and has kept it and will keep it
down until spring He is determined to under.
sell every one in his line aud has as fine and ex.
tensive an assortment of goods as can be found in
this city. All he asks is that people should ex.
anime his goods before going elsewhere.
