THE FIRM OF SUPPLY AND
DEMAND IS UNDERGOING
AN OPERATION.
People generally suppose that
when the demand is heavy
that the price is high.
Yet conditions that face the
clothing buyer in this store
are not running true to type.
The demand for our suits this
spring exceeds even that of a
year ago-still the prices are
lower and the value stronger
than the people of this vicinity
have seen for 5 full years.
How do we account for it? Easy.
The demand per day is the re-
suit of the value we supply per
dollar.
Sounds reasonable-so do our
prices.

These Indians were soon beaten but
IN afew years ather Indians led by
King Philip determined to destroy an

Connecticut had to 20 to the rescue of
her neighbors who were singled out
for the first attacks. John Talcott of
Hartford led three hundred and fifty
men against the Indians at Hadley and
Brooktield Massachusetts and three
hundred more, forty Of whom were
killed in battle went to the assistance
of their neighbors in Rhode Island.
King Philip was killed and the rest

the blessings of peace for nearly &c
years. During these years England
