THE HOLIDAY TRADE.

The coming of Merry Christmas and the
glad New Year is already apparent by the
rich display in the windows Of our jewellery,
dry goods and fancy stores. This trade has
never been better in our city, and our deal
ers never presented a better display of goods.
All ore busy brushing up and preparing for
large trade that must follow. The various
windows and shelves ofour leading dealers
are brillian. with holiday articles. Those
who have the finest stocks and are prepared
to supply the public to the advsn-
tage have their notices in these columns,
and to such ns make known what they have
the public will certainly 60 for purchases.
Let all take notice that from this time till
the close of the gear the columns of the
ARGUS will be the directory for all that is
rich, rare and beautiful in jewelry, dry
goods, books and fancy goods, as we'll as all
that can be desired Of useful and sub
stantial character. Many have already
commenced advertising their Christmas and
holiday goods, and as usual all the best es-
Establishments in the city have their notices
in the columns of the ARGUS. The season
is necessarily q short and brisk one, and
those who desire to avail themselves of the
rush Of purchasers, should lose no time in
making known their ability to meet oil
demands in their line OF business. At no
season is advertising so essential TO secure
a full share of customers, and those who
neglected last year to make public the
extent and character of their supply,
should not fail to take prompt action in the
matter.
