A market on Westminster street few
years ago would have caused considera BILE
comment as to the feasibility of invading
the downtown street marts of trade. To-
day at 4SS of that well l-known thorough
fare market was opened, neat as a pin
and well stocked with everything which
should be in market, especially this
time of year. The name is right on the
window in big letters which reads "Will-
iams' Market" When you buy here you
obtain the choicest in quality and the
lowest in price and what is worth con-
sidering you have il delivered
free of charge, avoiding the
obnoxious necessity of using the
cars or footing it. The Williams
Market" comes into the field as q bidder
Tor first -class trade which appreciates
quality for fair exchange of cash. The
Williams will keep on hand the very best
OF uncooked food, and the mammoth ice
box, the corned beef and butter chests,
the hooks and shelves will all be called
into use to contain it. The busi-
mess mess dn%n man can can drop in on his
pay for it, with the knowledge that it will
be delivered promptly in ample time for
preparation for future reference when he
is ready to appease his hunger. Remem-
Der the number, for ate-y ate. Speaking
about numbers, do you ever figure how
easy 1t is to multiply? Say Williams
how much IL times 52 was. How would
you go about it? The old way? Don't;
just add five and two together
which makes seven, place the seven IN The
middle and you have it, 572. Get one of
these papers at Williams Market tonight
when you leave your order and figure it
out. 4ss-Williams' Market.
DO you shaver Yes. Do you have your
hair cut? Yes. Do you have your child
rem have their hair cut? Yes. Where?
Anywhere. Wrong. / can tell you of
place where man is hired for the speciality
OF cbildren's hair cutting. Cutting a
child,s hair becomingly is an art. 1t
Is like taking a photograph. The
place / refer to where this speciality is
made of cutting childrens hair is at
storms in the Hotel Dorrance build
ing. How this man has gone ahead in
his business since ! knew him few
years ago. i remember the day he camo
in as partner in his present place with
another gentleman. At that time although
he was having struggle to "get there" !
was sure he would. He had the right sort
OF material. He used everybody right.
Like sensible man he had no politics or
religious notions to discuss with cus-
toners. Result-Largest shop in the
city--down stairs in the base
ment. Up stairs in the parlors place for
ladies where face may be steamed, hands
and hair dressed by special ar
lists. But this is well known by the peo-
pie OF Providence. What / wish to inn
press upon the reader is that il you have
children for conscience sake when YOU
have their hair cut take them TO George
storms and have it done right.
Every heart mas its own sorrow,
Every head its own ache,
Every one looks for the morrow
