THE. REAUTY OF Badness.

\ great change has taken place of late
years with regard to the estimation in
which badness is held. Fifty years ago
it was viewed as serious indiotion,
misfortune to be concealed by a wig or
velvet skull cap. In some cases, no
doubt, the wig was intended to deceive,
and to give a Juvenile appearance to the
wearers. In the majority of cases, how
ever, the covering was so plainly artificial
that it was clearly adopted. not from a
motive of vanity. but simply to hide an
unpleasant object from tho eyes of the
world. OF late years, however, partly,
it would aprrear from the habit of wear
ing hc.fds having come into fashion,
badness is far more common than it used
to be. 1t may he that nature furnishes
to each human being a sufficiency Of
what may DO called hair ointment to sup
port the average quantity of hair, and
that when men allow their boards to grow
they do so to the detriment of the natural
covering of the scalp. CertalA it is that
a large proportion of men with boards
begin to grow hala at an ahnormally early
age. Hitherto however, they have,
when questioned, been willing to allow
that they regarded the lack of hair as
drawback to their personal appearance.
They will now be inclined to take higher
ground, for the British Medical Ioa,nas
tells us that in q lecture on badness,

~ uS.
We tell of these things in the news
papers, because there are thousands OF
YOU who don't know what we are
doing; thousands of you don't know the
character of the stock that fills these 5
acres; thousands of you who, therefore,
buy where you pay more money.
We are every merchants talr and
open competitor. We do not expect to
gather millions of trade from all over
the country without meeting opposition
and misrepresentation. Some will be-
ievc whatever is said against us. The
only answer we make is: Send back
whatever you don't want at the price.
We want your trade You want our
goods; or would want them, if you
knew. No matter how far away you
may be; you will do we'll to send to
us for some things. We ask you to
write to us about something you have
present occasion for.
When we get in communication with
YOU, we shall have one means of winning
your trade, viz, by pleasing you. When
we have won it, we shall have one means
of keeping it, viz by dealing with you
as we deal with everybody: giving you
large return for your money, and sup
plying your wants SO lntelllgently that
you will write us for what you want as
naturally as you say good morning
to your neXt-door neighbour

THE STORE AND TIE TRADE.

A sud-, of this ground plan, inconl-
plete as it is, will give you a better idea
of the store, and of what is in it, than de-
scription can do. The store covers ~
acres; basement is under, and galleries
are over, a part. The whole affords
somewhere about 5 acres of room.
This particular business is years old;
it began in 1876 with clothing; in 1877
it became a general store with such goods
as you see in the plan, with carpets, up
holstery, furniture, and misunderstanding
upstairs. Since that time gallery after
gallery has been added; and there is
not an inch of room to spare anywhere.
To the surprise of many, it has hourishcd
while trade was languishing almost
everywhere else.
To US there is no mystery about it;
nothing surprising even; unless it be
surprising that SO conspicuous a business
should ever be misunderstood. We do
nothing more than simply to provide
facilities for your getting what you want.
We don't mean to say that other
facilities are not provided for distributing
goods; but that's different thing.
We provide so that you get what you
want, crachy 70llaf J'0u 70anfI In the
first place we've got it. In the second
place we send it. And if we send you
the wrong thing, or if you think the
charge is too much, you bundle it back
