R8-WHEBn TO PuRoaAsE HOLIDAY
GooDs.-A newspapers sort of CONNER
cial fngerboard which is constantly point
ing out to the public where purchases may
be made to the best advantage tits partic-
ularly serviceable in that respect during
the holidays when there are SO many trav-
elers in search of everything appropriate
to the season. 1t will be found to be true,
as a general rule, that whatever is not
worth advertising is not worth having, and
those who do not advertise their goods in
some manner vir tually say to the public
that they do not desire to sell. We cannot
remember when the stock of all sorts of
goods appropriate to the holidays was
more abundant and varied than at present
or when the shop windows were more
pleasing to the sight of searchers after
useful and ornamental articles suitable for
gifts and keepsakes.
10 the jeWelry way and in fancy, useful
and ornamental articles pertaining to the
business. no one seems to present more
inviting and dazzling stock than our enter,
prising friends j. T. Scott & Co., Main
street. Those in want of gifts in the jew
elry line should not fail to give this house
call.
J. @. Orr Il Co., Joseph Graves, Joseph
L. Wilde, and W. P McKelvey, advertise
very attractive stocks of new and desirable
holiday books, and there is much in each
and all of their establishments to please
the fancy of those who may desire some
thing substantial in the way of books,
periodicals., diaries, blank books, and 80
forth. Mr.. Geo. W. Stoner, of the Relig-
ioua Book House, on Monroe street, also
advertises fine variety of bibles, prayer
books, hymn hooks, and juvenile toy books.
The photograph and album folks appear
to be quite as active, if not more so, in
the prosecution of their trade, as any 9TH
er class of business men. 7. q. Higgins,
A. G. Partridge, and Wykes and Brown are
all Offering unusua attractions in the way
of pictures, Albums and other articles per-
tanning to the business.
The dry goods men are each offering so
many attractive inducements to purchase
ers that it is some times very difficult for
the public to decide upon whom to bestow
their patronage, tho advantages being SO
nearly equal George R. Taylor, j. s.
Rhodes, NJ Heyman, Stone and Thomas,
W. B. Serseney, Johu Roemer, and others
appear to be exceedingly busy with the
crowds of customers who swarm about
their counters, and there is no end to
the iurs, dress goods, cIOaks, &C., with
which their we'll stocked shelves are load
ed
Our friend j. B. Mellor, not satisfied with
his pianos, music and musical iustrum ents,
has added large lot of albums. pictures,
books, stationary &C., to his heretofore
prosperous business and has gone into the
holiday trade as if he meant to win.
The energetic manner in which Stein
Bros. present their claims and spread their
names and possessions before the public,
we are glad to see, is drawing them scores
of customers, who go away satisfied with
the bargains which they always obtain
They have an extensive and excellentstock
of clothing and furnishing goods of all de-
scrip,ions, which they sell at fair prices.
Those who may need covering for the
head or umbrellaic protection from the foul
weather will find friends in their need in
the persons of Harper & Bro, and s. N.
Prather. Neither of these houses were
ever better supplied with hats, caps, aud
other articles pertaining to the trade, and
they offer superior advantages to the hat
less public.
The new stock of diaries and nOtious
offered by Geo. X. Wheat, notion jObber,
should not be overlooked by those who
wish to buy by the cart load, for he dis
plays bigger stock than ever before.
D. Nicoll & Bro, Main street, are as busy
as bees attending to the demands of the
hundreds who daily flock into their store
in search of notions and the interminable
variety of fancy articles which they display
so abundautly and tastefully.
In short there is hardly a dealer in hol-
iday goods in the city who is not driving
an active and prosperous trade and making
money for themselves and happiness for
everybody else
