enough. Compare the cost Of

YOU find it dearcr here. But is
there such q difference rs would
warrant a lnan growing at a 45
per cent Investment while the
New loi Sc- looks pleasant
when he ST &C seds in placing his
money at = per cent and feels
pretty good when he gets three
per cent. There's no reason
why people here should not be
as well satisfied with a ten per
cent profit on their money as they
are in the East with a much
smaller one. To those who find
it difficult to live on the pro-
cceds of such investments we
extend an invitation to examine
the goods we offer at prices that
should meet the approval Of
4 people Of limited means. We
have advertised for the past few
weeks a line OF coal and wood
stoves at extremely low prices.
Some housekeepers prefer to use
Kerosene-lor cooking TO either
coal or wood first on account
OF difference in the cost as well
as on account OF the ease with
which the oil stove may be
lighted as well as because of the
little heat there is in the kitchen
after the light is eXtinguished.
We have lately imported some
oil stoves with ovens and all
late Improvements. We are told
by parties using them that they
are convenient and easy to
handle. These stoves have all
| the fixtures for cooking, the same
as are found in ordinary iron
stoves and are absolutely free
from SCOT or smell. For per
sons who wish to get a meal
quickly and avoid changing over
a hot fire" The amount Of oil
used in cooking a meal is in
significant and we sell the stoves
at a very low price.
Now comes the season Tor
| getting the lawn in shape for the
summer campaign; Lawn Now
ers, Garden and Hedge Shears
and Hose are necessary and we
are prepar d to furnish them at
very low figures. Our Garden
Hose is much sought after be-
cause the quality is the best
obtainable.- Gold Seal stands
first in quality and price but the
Al. Super on is such a close sec.
ond in quality that most people
! prefer it because OF the differ.

wire bound hose which goes 70

give you good value for your
money in everything particu

hose we advise you to buy a
Reel, because it's dragging hose
over sanded walks that wears il

necessity for it, you wheel il
