The Holiday Trade.

As general rule, the most extensive and lib
eral buyers Of holiday goods do not put off their
purchases until the stocks have become low and
the crowd so great that they are unable to make
satisfactory selections. Indeed, as we happen
TO know, some of the most desirable customers
IN that branch OF trade are already on the look
who propose to engage in it-and which of them
does not?-should therefore announce their at
fractions without delay, if they wish to reap an
early harvest.
We need hardly add, what they already know,
that the advertising columns of THE STAR, al
ways reflex of the business OF the city, are
consulted now more than ever by those desiring
bargains in any branch of trade.
