L o w uYI G -I IGH ELL NG . T he first w reck occurred on the In conidriath a ,ntre fCanadian Pacifie near Ilavelock at Bowrnanville weé have often referred with pride to the high standing of our business honses. We thijik f ew towns can equal Bowrnanville ini this respect, and even in the large cities while sorne few larger stocks ma ' be seen, we con- scientiously behieve that for general purchaqs!ing the average custorner will get better satisfaction and rnore re- taras for the rnoney spent right here la some of Our own town stores. We are led toarnake these rernarks frorn obser- vation while doing business at The Mason Corapany's Departrnenîal Stores. Whatever the reasoni this firm seerns to have a big share of the trade and are alrnost always busy serviag their nam- erous custorners. Ia conversation with. Mr. Mason we were inforrned that the' aim of this store is to give customers as mach value for their rnoney as they can -et anywhere. To be able to do this they buy goods at the very .vfouataia head, importing direct frorn the au facturers in Europe andl buying from the factories la Canadlian madezoods. 0f course this mneans thlat the y have to buy lai large quantities, but with their large sales gooda do nlot acccmulate. Another important feature of thii store is thai yon can have *youir ironey back if you are not suited with your pur- chase, This Shows how confident the firm are. that the value they giye right and that the goods will bearin- spection. We were also struck with the veryv Large choice of goods showa b.Y thislirrn. It is reasonable to thinkthat buytngitn e arequantities they' woýuld be abiu Li) at lower prices than stores dola - one half or one, third the businîess. We believe that if people were jadges and really cornpared the values showa byv The Mason Co. la the diff erent lines of goods they sel ,with out-of-tow baying, there would be very fer, who wold go away to bay. AIsQ the advantaze and convenience of selling farrn produce to ibis firr is ab -, vious.
