In summ- Since 1881. '1 Still Going Strong-Bigger and Better Than Ever.

in the Year 1881

An able farsighted merchant, the late Mr. L. E. Prowse, opened a small shop to the public of Charlottetown and Prince Edward Island on May 1, 1881. The city grew, the store grew. 52 years after the opening of the little establishment it has become one of the largest departmental stores in the Maritimes. A celebration cf 52 years in business is no ordinary matter, it is an event of rare importance. We will celebrate our 52nd Anniversary by giving 10 per cent of our total two days sales to the Hospitals and Or- phanages and twill offer to the public of Prince Edward Island extra- ordinary values in Spring and Sum- mer Merchandise.
