q recommendation TO your readers to

TO be used in recommendations OF such

in the way OF reform from them?

Now, Messrs. Editors, | wait you 10

bigoted to come and see for

who is responsible Tor it, is bigot, q

Buy it.
AGUIDETO PURCHASERS.

1.-THE holiday season." the time when
of all the year human hearts expand
most and feel most tenderly for all man
kind, is here. Since The Saviour of the
world came bearing good gifts unto
men, this season has been celebrated
BY the Christian world as an appro-
pirate time for cemeuting by acts of
kindness and by friendly gifts the affec-
ton that all the members of our COM
mon family should feel for each other,
thus family rejecting the love which
our common Father bears for all his
children. In the selection of gifts as tes-
timoniais OF regard there is the widest
possible range. The cheapest trinket
may be the symbol OF more affection
than the costliest diamond. But yeti
in the purchase of holiday gifts we
would suggest that due attention be
paid to what the recipient most needs
and what will be most useful or most
highly priced. In the list of dealers
whose goods furnish opportunity for
the most appropriate selection we men,
ton the following, confident that
among these every reasonable want may
be supplied and that from these the
purchaser may rely upon receiving
courteous treatment and q fair ex-
change for the money spent.
