| Yc1SU% naturally looks at the
 HkN1ElH1 daily papers to see 1 yS2AS-GSS which store offers the best Inducements to the intending pur-
 chaser. There the whole list is open
 to her to select from. A comparison quite naturally arises and then the
 matter dissolves itsself into q ques- | tion of quality rather than quantity,
 and the price of course, supersedes all | other considerations. The attractions
 and the inducements are so numerous
 and varied that sometimes the intend- | ing purchasers throws down the pa- | pers and sets out to see for herself. Grieve, Bisset X Hollands is one of l the first stores that attracts her at- l tentiOn. It's pleasant windows, all ways gaily dressed, it's hustling aud | busy clerks, betokening things doing, the busy air all over the store, con l vinces her that she has come to the right place to buy the right things. She is given immediate attention and at once sees that the prices are right and that the goods are as they were represented in the advertisements ill | the papers, and she feels intuitively that she can place the utmost confi- | dence in the goods that she buys there. She is treated well and she feels good | when she leaves the store with her
 purchases, or she can leave her pur-
 chases to be sent home. It is all the same to Grieve, Bsset X Holland, for they are in business for business sake, just as you went to their store to buy
 things because you felt sure you would get your moneys worth.
 It is always a pleasure to see pros-
 perity alight on any venture, moreover if the parties to it are young people
 who have invested their all in 1t. They
 deserve encouragement for their cour- age and success for adding to the general prosperity of the community of which we all form a part. It will therefore he read with great deal of pleasure that the firm of Grieve, Bis set X Holland is among the prosperous
 ones in the city. And it may be read with surprise that they are planning
 to branch out, that their present quar-
 ters, 3S-40 Bank street, have become far from being able to accommodate their growing business.
 This firm of Grieve, Bisset X Hol.
 land is the youngest dry goods firm
 in the city. Starting out few years ago, in April, 1902, it has been on the
 breast of success ever since. The
 firm consists of William c. Grieve, George s. Bisset and Lewis M. HOl-
 land, and they are deserving the con gratulatiOns of the business men of the city At present their store con- sists of the basement and the first floor, or about 5000 square feet. and every available part is occupied, for long since the necessity of more space has been pleasingly felt. The firm employs over half q hundred clerks on regular days, but on other times the extra help engaged runs up the pay roll a good deal
 Some time ago the firm leased the entire second floor, but the lease is not yet in effect and will not be for some time, until the present occupants leave. Meanwhile the firm have under construction by well known architects plans for remOdelng the entire second floor and also the first floor by which the floor space will be greatly aug mented on the first floor and doubled on the second.
 The construction of the interior at present prevents the installation of many new features indispensable in the dry goods business. but when the contemplated changes are completed. Grieve. Bsset X Holland will have one of the finest stores in town.
 The present cash. system will he substituted by modern cable line, an improvement on the scheme to be seen in up-to-date department stores. The present departments consist of dress goods. silks, wash goods. wo- mems ready made garments. table linens. domestics. notions. toilet ar ticles, gloves. ribbons, laces, hosiery. cOsets. underwear, mems furnishings. and art goods.
 The firm expect that very soon the work which they wish so much to see completed. will be started with vim that will promise a speedy termlna- tion. and then they will be seen in full bloom of expansion.
