anxious thousands, more by far than can be
supplied with claims, ready and anxious to race
and fight for land at the given signal. The

curious and novel study in the making of

In a city like our own, where copious raios

obliged to adopt an extensive underground
sewerage system, II is positively criminal to
order the building of a single sewer that can be
avoided by any plausible device"
According to the Baltimore theory il is better
that the sewerage should be conducted through
the open streets, where all citizens may and
must sniff the odors, than that a few should
suffer from inhaling uncOnsciously the gases
from the same sewerage conducted through
underground pipes. IL an occasional BaIti-

SIR
You ask, does advertising paw
What avails gold mine If undiscoveredf What
avail shelves stocked with goods Of superior quality
| and variety If not generally known to the public
To advertise is not merely advisable it is positive
necessity. and that form Of advertisement that
reaches the greatest numbers at the lowest cost is
udicious advertising: therefore, it is apparent that
economical advertising is merelya matter Of oalcu-
lation
As tits poor economy to occupy store at low rental
in an undesirable locality, it's foolish to calculate
that low-priced advertisements are always cheap
In my line of business the methods usually adopted
are dodgers, circulars by mail special sales e. the
specified days, and newspaper advertising.
In my twelve years of business experience as pro-
prietor Of the Palas Royal have tried all methods,
and have long since discontinued dodgers" and cir

TnE Best CAS BE No BETTER.

And that's the kind we've got-TTE BEST.
It's only few short years since nothing but
the very commonest of weaves, cut and made up
in the most slip-shod fashion were offered as the
highest product of ready made clothing. Is
any wonder that there was strong prejudice
against buying and wearing what was then
called shop stuff"
Here's the best illustration Of the evolution
of trade:
Now, fabrics that were heretofore considered
far too fine and expensive, have been placed in
the hands of artists whose superiors do not live.
What they have accomplished is wonderful.
They have turned the tide of public opinion in
favor of ready-made clothing. THAT'S SUCH
CLOTHING AS WE OFFER.
The same confidence is placed in the recon-
meadations we give suit-the same reliance
on our judgment as to fit, style, etc, as was
the wont in the palmy days of merchant tail
oring, and so perfect is the result that a
gentleman may step into our store make
complete change at amOments notice. leaving in
exchange but fair consideration in comparison
to the exorbitant charge made by the odd
liners, ''lwhen he compelled to anticipate his
needs by many days and suffer the annoyance
consequent upon repeated visits.
Science has mastered the art of PERFEC-
TION OF FIT, and the growing intelligence
of the times has advanced to the highest limit
