ANNOUNCEMENT

Owing to the very unsettled condi-
lions which have prevailed for the
past few months. we have been unable
to carry out our plans as we had pre-
yi0usly intended and announced,
When we commenced TO sell out our
stock last summer it was altogether
too large to sell to an individual per
SON We therefore decided TO reduce
il to a comparatively small amount
intending to find successor VINO
would purchase our location. How
ever the unsettled and uncertain CON
ditionS have made it mWisc for any
merchant to seek Il new location ana
we have therefore been unable to find Il
successor up to the present time
Therefore we have decided to continue
business here until conditions improve
50 that we are able to secure II sue
ceSSOr who will continue our business.
We have added Il complete new line
Of merchandise to our stock which
will enable YOU TO make complete pur-
chaSeS at our store In purchasing Our
new stock III the present time we have
Il decided advantage over those mel-
chants who are still trying to sell high
priced stocks bought when prices were
much higher. You can therefore rest
assured that amy purchases which YOU
make from us will be at the lowest
prices to be secured anywhere.
We shall continue to give the people
Of I4adysmith and vicinity. the same
high quality merchandise at the very
lowest prices. for which we have been
known throughout this section of the
country.
We have thought it best to give this
statement to our customers in all fair
ness and trust we may have the pleas
Itrc of serving you for the time we re-
main here in business.
Watch for our window displays and
