Drapery. 0_ RATIFYING INTELLIGENCE. Amidst all the changes and improvements we have to chronicle from week to week, i none can be more beneficial to the City than to see old buildings, like the memory of the past, fleeting away, and, Phoenix-like, of their ashes NEW AND STATELY PLACES OE BUSINESS springing up in their stead. To our town and country customers, H. OWEN and CO., National Drapery Depot, Lambton Quay, Embrace the earliest opportunity of returning their sincere THANKS for the Unpeecedented Increase to their General Business for the last few mouths, and they can only view such an increase as a TEST OE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE, in spite of those sensational announcements which from time to time appear in the daily papers from rival establishments, who quote a few prices in order as a bait held out to allure the unwary, H. O-WEN and CO., Lambtou Quay, May urge as an ample reason, that the present IMMENSE REDUCTION IN PRICE is caused by an. Urgent Necessity for Diminishing the Stock, : in order that the workmen engaged in the NEW BUILDING may not be retarded in their work, as a portion of the front buildings must be removed in fourteen days from this date.
