Ten years have elapsed. To some extent they have been years of commercial uncertainty to a large portion of the busi- ness world. Yet our Island Province (in conjunction with the rest of Canada) has through it all stood firm on the road to prosperity and is even now filled with the promise of plenty. So_i_tl1as been with this store. The past ten years have seen the business expanding in 'a most -re_niafkable"iiianner so that the building of 1901 has proved to be entirely too small for the business of I _ii ________,___ 9 We have been obliged to reach out fo_r~niore room and the adjoining our main building (known as the Crabbe Block) has been secured and fitted up in the most modern way. With this addition we now have one of the largest, one of the most up-to-date, and one of the most convenient and best lighted stores in the Maritime Provinces. m___~* extendoim-_gratibtTf:Eo£nr many rriends who by their co-operation and patronage have made this move necessary. Their implicit confidence in the business has always been considered one of its inost valued assets and one of the corner stones on which it rests. With a continuance of tlgszmfid- ence, which we shall always strive to retain, the splendid facilities we now have for handling our rapidly increasing trade and the open door this organi-_ zation holds to the bigger markets of the world, we lookToriv§d to a period of still more wonderful progress. _ 1 1 i l A 0pening Dress Goods Values ol The Clearance ofa Large Whitewea-r Stock From One of Canada’s Extraordinary Merit I Foremost Manufacturers Gives Splendid Buying Opportunities 75c, $1.00 and 1.25 Dress Goods at per yard 50c 20 pieces dress goods, consisting of self stripes, tafletas ian i- ` 54 Inch Suiting 25c 3 pieces 54 inch grey, check, wool, tweed siiitiiig; was 75c. the price'-j ust 25c per yard. .
