As the boys were tov slow Mr. Ramsay has given the t«o girls each a prize, so the boys will have to go without a brand new suit Each of the girls captured first prize, consisting of a dregs, pair of shoes, pair of hose and a summer hat. Appended is Miss Boyden’s essay and Miss Brereton’s will be published next week, Both area credit to the little girls and well worth reading: All the people in this locality are engaged in certain work. The ranchers are rearing cattle and horses and the farmers are growing grain. ‘ In a district like this, Yherefore, the people are in need of a store from which they obtain general merchandise and with which, in part, they trade some of their farm products. Such a store is Ramsay’s Busy Store in Gleichen.

This is a store worthy to be classed as one of the most accommodating stores in this western country. This can be easily seen for whenever we enter the store we find that the clerks are ready to get anything possible for us. They always seem to welcome their customera and are pleased when the latter are satisfied.

In Ramsay’s Busy Store there is always a crowd of people waiting to be served. Why is this? because they get high grade 8 at reasonable prices. If they could get goods anywhere else as good and for less money they would deal elsewhere. I do notthink there is a better store in this western country than Ramsay’s Busy Store in Gleichen.

Mr. Ramsay is always trying his best to satisfy all the needs of his customers. If there is anything wanted that he bas not in stock he sends for it at once. This shows the people that he is interested in them. Hence more people will trade at Ramsay’s Busy Store.

Everybody likes to be treated with aome respect and receive a welcome when they first enter the store. It makes them feel as though they were welcomed to buy whatever they require. The assist: ants in Rameay’s Busy Store may well act as models for some of the Gther assistants in stores about this district.

In Rameav’s Busy Store the assistants keep everything perfectly clean and everything in order, We never find the goods scattered over the floor, but each article in its proper place.
