Package System
Dosie Has Installed a Modern Carrier System in His Store

Simon Dosie has installed a new package and cash carrier system in his store on Lake Street, both up stairs and down and it will greatly facilitate the handling of customers. The new system is the Barr patent, and is similiar to those seen in stores and in the larger cities, Mr. Dosie is progressive and aims to have his store as up-to-date as is possible. The system is so arranged that if any mistake is apparent the cashier can return the package and money to her station immediately with just the pulling of a lever. With Mr. Dosie's modern facilities for caring for clothing and shoes, and in fact his entire stock, he is enabled to display to his customers his wares with ease, which is quite a contract to the building occupied by him a couple of years ago. In his clearing sale he has some very attractive bargains which he is offering in this adv. on first page today.
