The-war may be over in a few weeks or it may not be over for a few years to come, but one thing is certain--the need for these commodities will last a long, long time, and now of-all times is the time to look about for some source of supply of these much needed lines--prices are soaring--no one can tell how high--it's a safe assertion there'll be no. break in the market fora long time.' In keeping with. the Progressive spirit of this Store's organization. we bought largely of these - much wanted lines and the, wisdom of such.action is manifest in the large orders we have received from Patriotic Societies and the quantities being disposed of! Even Wholesale Warehousemen are buying. whatever sur- plus of these lines there are in country. stores. : : 'ancl VICKERS' $25.00 SUITS - MEAN A SAVING For every Man. who buys' his. Suit here.
