DRYDEN OBSERVER 1 IDOE A Contrast in Advertising THE PAST. -- The summer of 1922 ushered in itself, with pleasing prospects. The lovely month of May, so re- nowned by writers, and glorious- ly sung by poets, bade fair to equal the highest encomium ever spoken of it--balmy air, glorious skies, sunshiny days and trans- lucent nights, all contributed to the happiness of mankind, and the proprietor of this emporium, chortled with glee, and suffused with pleasure that his prepara- tions of merchandise of Linen, Silk and Cotton, would find ready sale. But alas, alack, the weather of June was- most unpropitious, and the days of July more frigid. Cold windy blasts, and Jupiter Pluvius, damped the summer ardour of the most ardent optimist," and the cloths of the Indies and the fibres of Araby did not sell. There remaineth yet therefore but a short spell of summer, and something must be done to wheedle filthy lucre from patrons pockets. Eureka! a --summer sale!! A vast assortment of merchandise at but two units of exchange, one or two shekels!!! Come prepared, come unpre- pared and see what you shall see, after Friday the 11th. THE PRESENT.-- 1922 was not a good summer year. It started alright, but June and July was colder than .usual. This store has some summer stock left, it does not want to carry over. August looks like a hot month. Starting Friday the 11th, and lasting throughout the month goods will be separated into two heaps, one a dollar, one two dollars, probably something will interest you. - Sale goods are always cash, and either put aside, nor sold on approbation. The goods on sale will touch everything. Shoes, Women's Men's, and Childrens, Underwear, Piece Goods, Cloth- ing, dors, etc., etc. ALFRED PITT, DRYDEN, Ont.

The report from the finance Com- mittee was to the effect that promises and cash amounted to $7054.60 with a few more to hear from. Oxdrift, Wabigoon and Dinorwic had not sent in any response to the circular and letter. Something however may be expected from them. Dr Routley in- timated that the amount the Red Cross Committee suggested was about $800. so it will need all the effort possible te raise this amount. . The appointment of Chairman and Committee was the adopted course. It was pointed out that as the building committee would encessarily be in frequent cofenrence, it would be inadvisable to appoint members from the out-l-ying districts, and to facilitate working conditions, this committee should be chosen from the residents of Dryden.

When the Keewatin football team returned from their last trip to Ignace they voted the Ignace boys the best of fellows. After Monday nights banquet in their honour at the Kee- watin hotel the Ignace boys say that Keewatin can't be beaten. The absence of Mr Purnell, owing to his serious accident resulting in a fracture of the arm was the only drawback to the festivities. ~ The Fly Catchers are disappointed that the timid bachelors in town have not taken up their challenge for a baseball game. The ladies are pre- pared to post a forfeit of $10,000 with Charlie Self if necessary to cinch the natch. Maybe thé bachelors would be more a little--only Home runs to count, with Rev. J. M.
