"WE congratulate our customers and lriends upon the return of the genial Spring Season. It is always a pleasant relief to exchange the heavier and more sombre apparel of winter for the lie:hter, and never has fashion set her sea) upon goods for the season so attractive and tasteful as they are , at the present time, The very best advertisement of our goods would te the goods themselves, could they be sent around for general inspection. ' As this ia impossible we fall back on the faithful types to assist us to 1 describe in some1 measure the chief feature of our Spring Stock. By way v of preliminary we may say that we have brought our long business expe rience and knowledge of fecal tastes, to the selection of the goods we offer - and with a result which we hope will be as gratifying to our customers , as to ourselves. The extent of our stock b unusually large and the variety ' offered in styles and the materials are so wide that we think we can scarcely fail oi satisfying every intending purchaser: In every department our stock will be found to be complete; nothing having been neglected in our effort to make it the most complete assortment of goods ever oflered to the ; that to the quality ot the goods sold we must look for the building up ot that confidence between buyer and seller so essential to a commercial sue- , cess snd permanence. Our customers will find that in respect to quality 1 our stock has no superior, if any rival, our policy being to sacrifice a margin of our profits rather tban saenbee tne continence 01 our customers in we goods we sell. Some rather unusual opportunities have been oflered to watduui payers to secure Bargains in some tn tne uesirauie siomuvru una. These we have taken advantaee of and customers will find that our prices are unusually low, relative to the value of the goods we offer. We aim -to satisfy all classes of buyers, and our stock therefore includes th variety ,f of grades which have correspondingly varied prices. We desire to be : known for cheapness, but we handle no cheap goods, that is to say, we give even in low price grades the very best article the market affords for wwm mruvw 11 a nnnruivuicu uuim.v sun snur uiuumut sw aaseanw evu Ution lor low priced goods at the expense of his reputation for values. No article is really CHEAP whkh will not return the buyer the foil value of the money expended in its purchase. Our steady aim is to satisfy buyers, not only by alluring bargains, but by the satisfaction that comes in goods that .wear and stand the test of actual use. . In the matter of Novelties we think oar stock will leave nothing to be desired. By being early in the -market we secured the early choice of styles and patterns which always gfves the buyer the advantage of picking up such seasonable novelties as are soon exhausted, if they prove desirable to purchaser. We commend cases that the pattern which are most fancied are the soonest exhausted. - , We weak with conviction when we say that we do not think any previous season has seen a more invitixg display of goods than those to wtucft we direct attention and of which we invite your inspection. And we are sure that it will be a matter of general surprise and congratulation among buy. . era that we are able to offer so large a choice, and such excellent quality tor prices that are remarkable for their moderation. v KCSpecUUUy,.
