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.
But uoine legal rcspnno.l‘t)llity extends
to r-vr\r,v'oiic who soils short weight.

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.
