D. S. than at any other store in Peterboro. We believe it is because C. D. S. customers, from actual experience, lcnow that C. D. S. cash prices are generally lower. They have proved to their own satisfaction that consistent buying at C. D. S. produces consistent savings. We buy and sell tor cash mainly, resulting economies, not possible in a credit business where cost of time accommodation is included in the prices, enables us to offer our merchandise at genuine cash prices and those cash prices are generally lower. ln fact our cash prices are so low that an extra charge is necessary for time accommodation. Even with this charge added, our prices are competitive, which is further proof of the economy of C. D. S. Cash Prices. 44 CANADIAN DEPARTMENT STORES umm Parlcers Peterborough Limited CLEANERS AND DYERS WE TAKE our THE SPOTS Phone 250

Vlfe have been fortunate in receiving a letter from the. editor of last year's Echoes, Harold Rogers. The letter follows: Dear Editor: Please allow me to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for being asked, Once again, to contribute to your celebrated annual publication, The Echoes. But honestly, friends, all big words and fancy phrases aside, it seems like Old times to be able to greet you again from these pages. Living right here in town, I find myself handicapped for material to put in this letter, since, without the risk of being called a liar, I cannot string a line like the more fortunate alumni who are now occupying the spotlight QP! in some of our larger cities. I feel certain that any description of the humdrum routine of factory life would be, at best, boring to the up-and-coming, wide-awake collegiate student. Did I say factory life was humdrum? Well- hardly! When a fellow is busy he hasnft time to worry about a little thing like that. And then, just to relieve the monotony tif anyl, We find, after making a mistake, that our supervisors certainly do know how to give us f- ! !. Oh yes! You know! You don't have to be a Kirma to read those signs. Also, in industry today, we realize that we are working toward a definite goal, we know that after years Of diligent application, we may be able to sit in a cushioned swivel-chair too, our feet on the desk, smoking a ten-cent Perfecto, and telling our friends about the big muskie we almost caught out at Chemong last summerg or in the winter time we may engage in a heated argument about the outcome Of the game this week between the Leafs and the Maroons. Other subjects are treated in a more casual Way, but Mrs. Simpson, President Roosevelt, the Mississippi Valley Floods and the Dionne Quintuplets are given due consideration. I fear that I have disclosed too many Of the trade secrets, so I shall try to repair some Of the damage by paying a tribute to our foremeng they are exceedingly long-suffering and indulgent toward us. However, if any supervisor reads this letter I fear that I'1l get my neck in a sling, and if worst comes to Worst, please think Of me kindly and remember that I died a martyr in the cause of the junior clerks. In the meantime, here's wishing the teaching staff, the students and The Echoes a happy and prosperous 1937. Yours as ever, HAROLD V. RoGERs.
