THE WINNIPEG STORE A city passing rapidly from the after stages of pioneerhood to the sophistication of a great metropolis the field we serve is one of many and widely varied needs.

To meet such needs we maintain a string of six foreign buying offices, which bring us into closest touch with the resources of Europe and the Orient. We have perfected systems of purchase and delivery which ensure the arrival of the new and smart in every type of merchandise in the shortest possible time after its inception. We are. possessed of a buying prestige, too, second to that of no other commercial institution, which makes it possible for us to bring to Winnipeg's doors not only the choicest of merchandise but the very best of values. The main Store building itself, spacious, airy, conveniently arranged, makes appropriate setting for tlii.s great drama of industry.

Corps of trained employees render efficient, cheerful service. Close to a hundred routes are served by the City Delivery system. The whole immense organization is seen at its best, in this Christmas season, when it stands prepared to play Santa Claus on a truly gigantic scale. HE MAIL ORDER SYSTEM To the thousands and thousands of families in the small towns and villages of Western Canada, and on its farms and homesteads, the Eaton Mail Order system brings both the bread and the cake of daily life. It covers a territory which extends from Western Ontario to the Pacific Coast, from the Dominion boundary on the South to Alaska on the North.

The scope of its merchandise ranges from farm implements to school books, from horse blankets to French lingerie. To house this huge there are two mail order buildings in Winnipeg, pictured at the left and right. Mail order warehouses, iooy are established at Saskatoon and Regina for the storage and quicker dispatch of heavy goods for farther Western areas. Much of the merchandise handled through the Mail Order System is the product of Eaton factories models in construction and equipment, whose output is absorbed entirely by the firm. The balance is bought with the same knowledge of world markets and first class values which goes to the merchandizing of the Toronto and Winnipeg Stores.

And the Eaton guarantee" Goods satisfactory or money refunded" stands back of every purchase, assuring satisfaction to every customer.
