Fonsiimers in Chicago are also

looking more narrowly than here-to- fore to the size of the apple barrel

and the strawberry box. Btrawber- ries are sold by the box, and both

sellers and buyers were for a time contient to treat a box of berries as such whether it was small or large. ’l‘he boxes, however, began to grow "siiinii hy degrees and beautifully less," Now there is a size prescribed hy law in both tilie United Stratos and Canada for the apple barrel and the -barry box. Wihat passes for a quart bmi ot berries should contain a full quart of fruit. And of course it dons, imrc in <l\iai'\0t.tvi-own. but not everywhere in this grasping and wicked world.

The grocer ia-lla as he li-uys. and

the tirst fault 'is with the producer for parker of fruit. or butter if thc pack- age is uiidcr size or under weight.

You will bc shown weaves, colorings and

materials, such as the prospective brides of Lon- don and Paris are being shown today.

You will receive 'courteous attention and any

information we can give is cheerfully given and remember we keep oursleves posted.

You will not be asked to buy or made to .feel

uncomfortable if you don’t purchase, but want to look in other stores, as we have every confidence in our goods and court comparison, and last but not least, you will be surprised at _the extent of our showing as we are told we have the finest line of silks, satins, dress materials and suitings in the province bar none.
