we reached the rear lines Grant would
put the bay at his utmost speed. and as
he was nearly thoroughbred. he could
run. Grant sat on the bay as If he was

Extra InduCGmGnt Sale.

AUR season for selling winter
- goods is getting short. We
must carry over stock or "extra
induce" buyers. We therefore
decide by a timely sacrifice to con-
vert goods into cash, by giving
this unusual discount:
7soe''ty per cent. off from regular
marked prices, arhich gioes the buyer
goods at net cost.
During thirty-three years of
business it is our proud record to
have won a reputation for avoid
ing all Misrepresentation and
keeping all our promises, and this
is not one low bait-price to catch
average profits, but is a we'll
defined, broad gauge policy to
''extra induce" buyers, and turn
a long winters stock in a short
season.
This 20 per cent. discount in
cludes our entire stock of Ready
made Clothing-with Blue and
Black goods, at ten per cent.
