Before you spend another dollar
for your boys clothes make up
your mind to see where you can
get the best for your money.
Ordinary clothing is abundant,
it's hard to avoid. The majority
of manufacturers produce it,
most stores sell it because they
make big profit on 1t, and all
: this, because few people know
the superior quality of good
clothing until they have worn it.
There can be no satisfaction,
even though the cloth is good,
unless the tailoring has been
done in thorough honest man
ner. If you want to be sure of
getting the kind that will serve
most faithfully and look well all
the while it serves, it will surely
be to your interest to see our
line before buying your boys
winter outfit. The better quality
and appearance of our Boys
Clothing are based upon the style,
goodness of fabric and superior
tailoring, All kinds of induce
ments will be offered you in be-
half of the other kinds; cheapness
will be argued as an apology and
substitute for the quality and
superiority. of our clothing.
Don't be mis-led, buy good cloth
ing, be protected 10y the. makers
and our guarantee. 1t means
economy and satisfactioR Come
in, let us show you the grand as
sortment we have ready for your
inspection, Russian suits 3 to 6,
Sailor Blouse suits from to 7,
Norfolk suits from 30 10, double

to take. Refuse substitutes.

An Island of Flowers.

The Sicily islands may very justly
be termed flower islands, for a large
part of their surface Is given up to the
cultivation of flowers. and the great
majority of their people spend their
lives in attending to the plants, from
which all the wealth Of the islands Is
drawn The inhabitants have had
other occupations before they settled
down to flower growing. At one time
they were wreckers. and at later pc
Rod they went into more legitimate
business and deyoted themselves to
the raising of early potatoes. There
was money to be made out Of them.
and the islands prospered until pros
perity bore its usual fruit in the shape
OF competition. The channel islanders
took to growing potatoes. and the po-
tato trade of the Scilly islands was
killed. Thereupon the islanders be-
took themselves to flower growing,
giving the greater part Of their at
tention to the narcissi. In st. Mary's
alone nearly quarter OF the cult
waited area Of the island is devoted to
flowers
