In these days of high cost of living it is a relief to find something to purchase at the old pre-war prices. Just now ladies will find at C. E. James', Broadway, Stratford, a display of Leather Hand Bags at /the old value. They tire a special purchase, and are selling nt one price, 7/8 each. Don't trust pictures you value to travellers and strangers. If you want any photograph copied or enlarged send it to McAllister, Stratford. The result will be the best possible, and you save the canvasser's commission.

Reduce the depreciation in your motor car by taking it to C. D. Mathews, Stratford, and if it is mechanically sound he will return it looking as well as when you first bought it, at a very small cost The best paints and varnishes, and workmen who know their trade.
