hints to the purchasers Of holiday goods.

the city that are anxious to draw in each
its share of the thousands of BUYERS who
throng our streets it is sometimes difficult
matter to determine ,Chat and trhere to buy.

questions is to refer to the advertising
columns Of the Dispatch. As an index to
that department, and as suggestive to those
who may not be as we'll acquainted with
the business houses Of the city az ourselves,
the following paragraphs will be found
useful

while in New York, is varied. costly, and
brilliant. The millionaire may here choose
set of jewclry worth hundreds or thou
