Smith & Bussey, who entered the
clothing trade in November last,
have just completed important busi-

next to the postoffice. New show
windows have been built for both the
Water and the Russell street fronts,
and on the street last named, an ex-
tension has been built SO that the
new window borders the line of the
street and utilizes every foot of the
lot area. This gives a considerable
addition to their floor space, and the
new show windows, besides being
highly desirable for display pur-
poses, utilize the daylight to the best
advantage from both ends of their
show room, and makes it an up to-
date store for an up-to-date firm.
The Water street windows were
tastefully arranged during Easter
week and in one of them, pair of
English Hares, the property of Mas
ter George Jackson, attracted much
attention from young and old.
