months shrewd investors have been putting their money into the shares of copper mines this is true not only of men with large amounts of money at their disposal but also applies to those who have made a study of investments with a jew to securing a large return for small investments as high as three and four hundred per cent has to our knowledge already been realized on some of these investments the ameri cans were the first to make a specialty of copper stocks they knew what they were doing for the reason is not far to seek every copper mine in the world is at present taxed to its utmost limit to meet the growing demand for copper for electrical purposes the reserve stores of copper are being depleted until it pays no longer to use copper in some eastern countries as a coin copper has gone up in price from 9 to lu cents the supply of copp from the mines of the world we have just opened three cases ofjackets capes and costumes received direct fiom one of the foremost manufacturerss in berlin germany the great mantle cerittof the world this is the fourth shipment of ladies jackets and capes received this 764on and another shipment is on the way and will be to hand before the end of the week trov response given to tbe opening of these goods has indeed been mot gratifying ind the sales are simply ahead of anything we have ever known it s no trick to sell 1 haa goods all we hae to do is to show them the public does the rest and the reisons are not far to seek firstly we think we are slating the fact when we say that this season our firm was tbe only ono in guelph whose principal went direct to the manufacturers in berlin to make our purches secondly we buj these goods direct and in our own name ind without the necessary per cent age which seme of our competitors hav
