Ev- ery circumstance justly led her to Delieve they were hers, Then sudden- 1y they Went holus bohis to Calgary. Medicine Hat was surprised disap- pointed, Calgary was jubilant, When suddenly everybody began to realize that Medicine Hat having incurred no obligations, and being scott free from ail obligations which she was prepar ed to asstime, had-no cause to lament, was indeed well off without the car shops. She had countless natural re- sources which wore bound to develop. One Ilttle disappointment in her glor- fous career of onward and upward progress was anything but fatal, Stc- cess in: that Uttle. matter could only be obtained at a great price, She not succeed and consequently did not have to pay the price. Instantly there was a general awak- ning throughout the city. The good citizens of Medicine Hat saw that their dream had faded, but real gen- ulne realities were left. They now realized that their future was theirs to make. They had looked to the big corporations too long. They had courted them and-found them faithless rather, faithful to their own inter- ests, for which no one could blame them. But Medicine Hat would court them no longer she was too busy at- baa Seeeetent Youware just as safe in buying from-us by mail'as if you buying in person. All orders are promptly attended to.
