chants OF ArdmOre have proven con
clusiyely 30 the minds of the public
that there is no need to go or send
away from home 10 do shopping.

of Ardm0Te can furnish you in up-to-

progress, when they poured down
town by the thousands, regardless
of the mud and slush under foot, and

it was, what would be the result in
favorable weather." And so it is all
