This is au era of cheapness in wearing ap.
parel and in the necessaries of life. You
can buy a great deal more for a dollor now
than for years. But there are aheap goods
and cheap goods. Not all good? are cheap
because low in price, and it does not pay to
buy cheap goods unless you buy of a house
that backs its guarantees.
This is what gives Fiske 4 Beem their
prestige as a cheap house. You can bny
goods there as low as at any in Ottawa and
they will back every thing they represent
these goods to be. You oan buy more guar
anteed goods there for a dollar than any.
where else in the county; and w ith every $12
cash purchaso they give you one of the fa
mous Watcrbury watches not a toy pocket
piece, but a genuine, reliable time keeper,
lleuiember, you get tho goods just as cheap
with the watch as without it.
For example, suiis last year $15 are now
selling tit tf 12.50 and other goods in propor
