OUR CREAMERY.

The creamery which was started here
some time since, has proven a great sue
cess. Business is increasing all the time.
At present they are making between
$500 and POO pounds of butter weekly
with a prospect of large increase in
May and June. They are well equipped
with all modern machinery and the
cleanliness of the establishment is very
noticeable. Two hands are kept busy
all the time. The cart which they start
ed as an experiment has also been sue
cessful, and will supply the people during
the hot season with milk in all forms and
also dutch cheese, Take it all in all, the
establishment is one we should be proud
of and deserves the liberal patronage it
receives.

Low SHOES.

Three years ago ladies low shoes were
worn only during the warm months of
the summer, and high button or laced
shoes the rest of the year.
Now large proportion of ladies wear
low shoes the year around, with pair
of overgaiters for the cold weather.
By so doing, the extra expense of high
shoes is avoided, and the ankles are bet
ter protected against cold and damp by
the cloth covering of the overgaiter than
by the kid of the boot tops.
An Oxford that we sell for 81 rs, costs
$500 in high boot of same style. A
low shoe that we sell for $3.50, costs
$500 in the high boot.
We therefore have health, economy and
good looks in favor of the Oxford.
This year, in view OF the increased use OF
and demand for low shoes, we have put
in a large and better line than ever
before of Oxfords and shall be always
glad to show them.
