Our hands have been full
these last weeks!
Once again our customary
business optimism has been
justified.
In spite of foreboding in
some quarters as to the trend
Of business, we believed that
more men and boys than ever
would want substantial, stylish
clothing at fair prices.
We provided a most liberal
stock, liberal even for us; and
that means more variety, more
ample range Of sizes than most
clothiers ever saw.
The month just closed, with
its predecessors, has fully justi-
fed our optimism-our bust
ness has shown a very healthy
and satisfactory increase.
So we enter June with new
enthusiasm, with renewed con-
fidence that in these days of
much exaggeration, substan-
tial quality, generous variety,
fair prices and "your money
back if you want it," are
more appreciated than ever.
Everything men and boys
wear.

The Body Dragged.

From the position in which the body lay

bottom OF the tower II is the general belief
that the young woman was murdered
somewhere else and her body dragged
there so as to give the impression that
she had fallen from rapidly whrllng car
and met her death.
Although the head lay partly on large
boulder the skull was not crushed as 1t
