GOLF CLUB OPENING VOTE ON TWO BYLAWS ON FRIDAY, JUNE 8' lBARI3!..'! ---we -.a--vvywuu This firm. which operates chain stores, retailing men's. women s and children's clothing and coats and shoes, Ihas taken over the premises on Dunlop Street next to Queen s Hotel. The extensive store alterations which have been going` on for weeks are nearly completed. This store will be open for business shortly. (Advt.) I "' '- """ "" ' -"""` " Building` permits for the month of April, issued by Town Clerk Smith, totalled $9.570. `The larg- est item is for $5.000 for tearing `down the old -Ross Street foundry and erecting` a brick or cement building`. The permit was issued to F. W. Livingston. Other small- er items ranging from $10 to $500 were for alterations, repairs, additions, roofing, etc. There were twenty-four issued in all. Retailing today is different to what it has been twenty or even ten years ago, states Mr. Patten- ick, head of the rm of chain stores opening a branch in Barrie. A number of factors are respon- sible for that. Never was the pub- lic so educated to quality and price as it is today. The success- ful retailer must accordingly sup- ply the public with quality goods at lowest prices. Naturally organ- ized. large-quantity buyers are at an: advantage. hence the forming of chain stores all over the coun- try and` their numbers are increas- ing daily. - Foreseeing these conditions years ago we laid the foundations of our organization accordingly. Conducting` our own wholesale de- partment. thereby eliminating the prot from wholesaler to retailer, together with careful buying. of- ten for cash. low operating ex- pense. high-quality merchandise have permitted us to render a ser- vice to the public which they `have `been quick to appreciate with the result that we are adding con- stantly to the `number of our stores. We are starting a store in Barrie and the success of our other stores warrants us to predict for it the support of the public land success. On Friday, June 8, the ratepayersl of `Barrie will vote to provide. Iby| way of debentures. the sum of $76,- 000. Of t.his_amount $55,000 is for` the purpose of adding five rrpoms and enlarging the Assembly Hall and Igymnasduruof the Collegiate Imstitute. and $20,000 tor the remod- elling of old Town Hall into civic offices for the Clerk-Treasurer, Chief of Police, |.\Iagistrate, etc., a council chamber and auditorium on the second floor.
