But years ago most of the difficulties of transport vanished before the thundering hoofs of the iron horse, which on its race course of steel connects ocean with ocean No more the gay song and picturest^ue costume of the Vovatreur are known on the Red River. 'The onward march of time has ruthlessly demolished even the walls of historic Fort (larry — that land- mark of the past. Instead of the palisades, we find the Hudson's Bay C]()ni])any conducting business in a ^'erital)le palace of trade. 'I'he wide world, with its ocean greyhounds and swift flying express trains contribute to the wealth and variety of mer(Miandise which here greets the eye at every turn and though the name suggests the past, — even back to the days when Prince Rupert with his associates were incorporated in 1670 — you are powerfully impressed with the progressive tone and system pervading the store', of the present. Out of the gloom of a forgotten time has emerged the modern si)irit, with it's keen eye to the mutual interest of merchant and customer, and its constant study of local re(|uirements. The sinews of war — the capital and enterprise — which sustained the long route of the Voyageur, are here turned toward the reduction of cost on goods by the proper use of the immense leverage whi(^h cjuantity and cash have in j)urchasing. Buying for forty large stores and over two hundred other selling points, necessarily means extensive buying — wholesale buying —which again means that customers pay no intermediate profits. 'I'here was a time when conservatism was said to rule the Company ; when high i)rices were su))p()sed to i)revail in its stores, but — ^there never was a i)erio(l when its name was not associated with good reliable merch- andise and honorable dealing. The high j)riced i)rejudice has faded into a myth. The conservatism has |)ale(l before a progressive j)olicy. Only the fact remains as intlisputable as ever — that when you buy anything at the Hudson's Bay Store you gel reliable goods — the best which the price can piuchase.

This is merely an illustration, but behind it lies the i)rin(;iple by which the nianinioth retail stores of the world can sell their goods, at a fair profit, for the same prices which smaller shops have to pay for them. Is it not reasonable to supi)ose that if there are advantages in the [)urchase of large (juantities of goods, th(j retail customer is more likely to find them here than in any other store in the West? Vou care not where you buy the goods ! whether it be in a i)al;ice or a hut, so lon;4 as they are what you need and at a price which you are convinced is reasonably low. NOu do not want to buy the store lutings ; the expensive gaseliers; or the large i)Iate glass windows: but il you can have the service of these, with the coiufori and lu\ur\' wliicli they afford, combined with courteous treatment, and such economy on price, as only a big store can offer, would it not be foolish indeed to de[)rive Noursrll ofthe.se advantages simply because other stores are less generoiisl\- e((uip])ed? is it not evidence of the ap|)reciation in whi< h the Compan) hold your trade that they should thus arrange things for your rece|)tion ? The Romans did not build triumphal arches for slaves, nor lavish luxurious h()sj)itality on their enemies I liecause this store seeks your pationage, is anxious to please its customers it is therefore willing to exi)end some portion of the advantages reaped from it's patrons in order to show it's appreciation of their custom. There are those who say that we do not ///.v// trade. T'ley are right : it is [)art of the j)olicy of this store never to |)ress a customer to buv that which he does not need : never to presume that the customers do not know what they re(|uire better than we who would serve them with whatever they choose to buy. There is a method of />us/iiNg trade which we do not think it wise to adopt perhaps because circumstances do not force us into it. Mean- while, don't misinterpret our motives I We are here to sell goods ! vast quantities of them too but we mean to sell them for just what the\' are and on their merits solely. \'ou know this to be true! Do you not think the principle worthy of your frank recognition ?

Among others J. H. Ash down arrived in Winnipeg early ihat season, and in the fall of '69, just prior to the hreakirig out o( the rehellion, established a business. In '71 he punliascd the site ui)()n which his |)resent build- ing .stands, and in those enrlv days when this was the outfitting jjoint for liie long trains of o\ carts which slowlv wended their way across the broad i)lains ot the West, he coinnuiued to supply the Western coimtry. and trom this siuall beginiung has built up a general hardware business whit'h stands without rival, and is a monunu'iu to Western entei prise. Mr. ,\siii)()WN started business with faith in the country's future, with determination and ability to succeed, and success has crowned his efforts and his foresight and energy have been rewarded. From the small room, 16 x 20, in winch he conuuenced business, doing all his own work, has finally arisen the manuuoth warehouses which contain 50,000 feet of floor space and in which a staff of between fifty and sixty i)ers()ns are constantly emi>loyetl. 'I'he phenomenal success of this business is the result of keen foresight combined with energy and ])luck in grasping the situation and the retiuire- ments of a new and growing country, with the aim always in view of catering to the best interests of the trade, by suj^plying reliable goods at lowest possible prices. To obtain this result it was necessary to purchase all the ■!;oods handled direct fn)m the manufacturer, "for goods well bought are half sold." It has here l)een recognized as a [)rinci[)k', that there was no room ^(>' intermediate interests, to increase pri("es, so the business and its patrons have been profited accordingly. All the known manufacturing centres have been (\illed u|)on t<» supply the enormous (luanti.y of goods nee t-ssary fi)r the re(iuiremenls of the business done and the stock is complete with din-ct iin|)ortati()ns from ih-ilain, (lermany, nelgium, I'liited Slates and I^aslern ('aiiadian cenlies of trade.

About seven millions of acres, or one-twentieth of the fertile belt of Manitoba and the great Northwest, represent the landed interests of the Hudson's IJay Co. Under its agreement with the ('rown, the Company are entitled to sections eight and twenty six in every surveyed township in the fertile belt. Each section consists of .six hundred and forty acres, and will be sold either en bloc or in quarter sections of one hundred and sixty ac^-es each. A moments reflection will show you that choice of location from among these is practically unlimited : and you can save a life- time of labor and isolation by purchasing a farm which does not reciuire years of waiting for the country to grow roimd it, before it becomes a paying investment.

The store has kept pa(^e with the village, and it's enormous prescription trade of to-day is the best evidence of the degree of confidence extended to it by experienced physicians. Pure Drugs are the agents by which science operates to save and prolong life. If the edge of the lancet be dull the surgeon's skill is discounted. If the drugs are not pure neither can the physician expect success. Messrs. |. I'\ Howard cv: ('o. take a special [)ride in their connection with some of the leading chemiral manufacturers of the world; with firms wh se seal on any drug is absolute scfHirity against adulteration, 'i'he immense volume of trade done enables them to i)urchase in such (juantities as make it pay to buy from I'lu-sf manufacturers. Thus perfect purity is secured, and guaranteed. It is a matter of frecjuent surprise to many Old World pe()[)le that there are obtainable in iliis drug store a host of things not usually found outside the largest cities. That comes of an extensive knowledge of the very best sj)ecialties, and is the result of a constant study of |)opular needs. Wiienever you re(]uire anything medicinal, which you cannot get elsewhere, there is abvavs a good prospect of finding it at I. I*".

It's so t'asv to gel just what \<»u need in this youthful city of ours; so many strangers express their astonishment at its [)()ssibilities. When the " Manitobi"' i!i.it j)alatial /-/ hotel — was built, the American management thought it ahiiost useless to attempt furnishing it (as it should l)e furnished) from the stocks of Winnipeg. But in passing through they decided to look into some of the stores and among others, the big furniture emporium of Scott & Leslie. They had intended buy- ing all the furniture for the hotel in New York, thinking it impossible to secure the necessary style, finish and high grade quality here, combined with low prices. The reader will understand that the "Manitoba" is owned and operated by the Northern Pacific Railroad, and that freights, which on furniture are always a very expensive item, would have cost them almost nothing ; and yet — after ins|)e('tiiig the stock, and getting the prices, an order was placed with Scott c\: Leslie to furnish the entire hotel. The " Leland," too, now being rebuilt on a scale which will make it second to none in this country, is to l)e furnished in magnificent style by Scott t\: Leslie. You see the point don't you ? Is there not a moral in it for every one who seriously thinks of buyi.ig furniture ? If the firm could satisfy the magnates of the Northern i\acific Railway, and the proprietors of an hotel like the '' Leland," should it not be a convincing argument in favor of their having the proper inducements for those who know and can appreciate good furniture. There's such a difference in the way it's put together you know, and a little cheap varnish sometimes covers a multitude of sins in furniture as well as in human nature. Much of it is made to sel! merely — for auction rooms perhaps — and it should be the policy of shrewd buyers to investigate every portion of the interior of the drawers, the joining and fitting of the parts which are ou^ of sight, but which make an "everlasting' differ- ence in the wear of the article and its outside appearance after a few months use. One of the features which has helped to create the immense business now controlled by Scott & Leslie consists in their having a distinct und*.Mstanding with manufacturers that every article of furniture made for them nuist be per- fect, flawless : else it would not be accepted, A policy of th;it kind tells in time, it creates confidence between the house and its patrons ; it results in extended trade, in a big turn over, and the consecjuent reduction on i)rice which the volume of trade renders possible. There's a great deal in being "up to date" in doing business, is'nt there? ^1D oap ai]d (^iVilizatioi]. II) the Voyageur use Soap? Did he carry it with him in his long wanderings, sleep with it, eat near it, work beside it? Or did he simply take an annual plunge in the Red River and "let her rip?" Whether he used soap or not, we freely forgive him now, since all his descendants have probably learnt the beauties and utilities, the saving qualities and civilizing influences of soap. Good, pure soap ! which accom- plishes what it was made for— cleansing and purifying, brightening and beautifying ; minimizing the slavery of the wash tub and making household duties less onerous. Is there a more valuable factor in home life to-day than a good soap? Can you imagine housekeeping without it? Of course there are soai)s and soaps ! There is the common everyday sort which has the weight and appearance — but lacks the working qualities. It's soap of the loafer type ! Then there's the kind which is good in it's own peculiar way — not the way of this country however. Such soap is a foreigner and a failure in our climate. But — there is a soap which is a native of this country ; which is adapted to it's needs, it's alkaline waters and peculiar influences. This soap is a worker, a wage earner ; one of the persevering, thrifty, economical kind. It's a soap that wears well, lasts a long time, and has made a host of friends in a few years. You know it ; everybody does--il's RovAL Crown ! Soap is a heavy substance, bulky and weighty in proportion to it's cost ; therefore freights on it are expensive. Royal Crown being made in Winnipeg, no Eastern Manufacturer can pay cost of transport- ation here and sell an article of equal merit for the same price. That's one reason why you always find the box contaming " Royal Cri)wn " to be the lowest in your grocers' row of soaps. There's not so much profit on it for the retailer, but it's a rapid seller, because it's cheap in the true sense of the word ; because it'll do more work for the same money than any other soap in the market. The Royal Soap Co. began to manuf;\cture it three years ago, and on it's merits, control to-day the soap business of the Northwest They have made a market for all the tallow of this country, and import annually hundreds of tons of cocoanut and vegetable oils from the island of ('eylon, India. Over a thousand testimonials have been received (whicl" speak volumes for the merits of "Royal Crown" Soap) and in order to popularize it still furtli r they are presenting free, a choice of five beautiful pictures — veritable works of art — to eve j person who sends twenty-five " Royal Crown" Soap covers. Don't you want one of those pictures? 44 01? ! W^)i^clro(is (^l^ai^get jy AMONG the necessaries always carried by the Voyageur were his needle and thread, a primitive combination very strange to us living in an age of such advantages. Fancy him after the ^<^^ severe labors of the day sewing his torn garments with a needle deftly formed from the bone of a jack-fish, and the sinews (;f a deer for thread ! His stoicism would have vanished, and he would have united with those now enjoying such opportnniiies in a ctiorus of universal trium[)h, could he have looked in at tb.e wareroom of J as. Haddock tS: Co., and seen the marveilou'^ products of the Domestic Sewing Machine. Surely this is an age of progress, but the Domestic, the wonder worker, seems to have reached the goal of perfection. In these latter days the cry goes forth, "(live us the best." The answer is unanimous, tlie Domestic is the best, "The star that leads them all."' The Voyageur, however much he felt himself moved by " 'I'he bells in the turrets twain," must have at times found it a little inconvenient to be out on the Red, "drifting and dreaming" within sound of their soothing melodies. What a revelation to him would have been the rich sweet tones of a Heint/.man piano. Determined to handle only the best, Messrs. Haddock & Co. offer to a discriminating public this matchless instrument. Little did our Voyageur imagine that while in the early years of our century he was carving for himself a name in the history of our country and the world, Messrs. Heintzman were carving and framing a piano that has given them a pre-eminence in the history of the musical development of this country everywhere ack nowledged. A temporary ^ iccess may sometimes be obtained by doubtful methods, but an enduring one can only be gained by merit. The record of the more than 10,000 pianos made and sold by Heintzman & Co. in ('anada is a proof of the high mechanical skill, the finest materials that can lie prcx^ured in the world, and over all, the artistic inventive genius employed in their production. Try to imagine the effect on our Voyageur could he have heard the rich brilliant tones of a HiMntzman & Co. piano. Are we in these days living ui) to our op[)ortunities, and enjoying to the full the beauties of the Art Divine? Think it over, call on Jas. Haddock & Cjo., and am how to round off the rough corners of life. THE PATRIARCH Of British American Enterprises WiNMPFG STORF. THE HUDSON'S BAY CO.
