To Ulster Buyew and Buyers of Ulaters" They, that is Hooper and Co., have just opened 14 cases of Ladles and Children's. Ulsters and Jackets, of every shape, kind, and material, The prices are extremely low and it is their intentention to make the trade in this line hum. They won't quote prices because such a plan is delusive in the extreme to say anUMer (and when we say Ulster we mean a ladies Ulster) of a certain shape is offered at a certain price,' is no evidonco of excellence. Indeed, the stato-' ment may and sometimes does, carry with it condemnatory proof of the most convincing kind, An Ulster quoted at, 10s 9d may be only worthhalfas much. Besides, buyers know too well tho cost to need the assistance of a price list.. It is thusly you want an Ulster. You've a pound or two to spend or may bo it is only half as muoh, or possibly less 1 Do you find any consolation in the fact that Ulsters are to bo had at this price and that? No. You've so muoh money to lay out and you want to disburse it to the beat advantage What do you do? Do jouwasto your time in the study of. price lists when the source of supply is close to your door? Clearly not I You put on your that or bonnet as the case may be, according to youriiioliuation, andmake tracks straight for Roopsr and Company's M WwohG,
