Chain stores are increasing rapidly throughout Canada, according to the last monthly letter of the Royal Bank. 0n January 1st of this year there were in operation in the Do- minion 3,700 chain stores.

These stores are now taking in almost all kinds of mercantile business and are. of course, a challenge to the inde- pendent stores of the country. .
