The holidays are coming and with them
come many Of the greatest enjoymcnts of
/ the year. Old men and young men, ma
/ irons, MISE. and maidens, all bcstir them
/ selves nj this season of the year for grand
| jubilee Chief among the pleasures al
lottcd to the holidays is the giving and re-
/ ceiving Of presents. This is an old-timc
/ custom and one enjoyed more and more as
the years glide by. Chrstmas-time is
looked forward to by the children with Il
species of delight that cclipscs all other an
/ ticipations. and the month before is con
sdercd long time in coming around
Gaiety is at its height and fashion quite
naturally leads the the van and is crowned
queen of the hour. The ladies don
the new styles with even more than
their usual splendor of effect and
take greater care to have every
thing adjoining their person in the brightest
of color and the height of fashion. The
establishments of fashion are the center Of
attraction, and the happy proprietor who
has an abundance of the best goods of the
latest style, is sure to reap rich reward
for his enterprise and pains. The dealer
who strives to please his customers in regard
to price as well as material is certain to be
patronlcd He must also keep his name and
business prominently before the public,
giving them perpetual assurance that he has
just what they desire in his line Of goods.
Trade must be sought after and secured for
it comes not at will or at the pleasure of
the dealer He may have the best stock
in the community and at the lowest figure,
but unless he announces to the people what
he has in his store but few will take the
pains to find it out This fact is too well
established to need extended comment.
Enterprising merchants are aware of the
necessity of advertising and are fast becom-
i'm imbued with the idea
The holidays in Rutland promise to be Il
time of great activity among the mer-
chants. and they are already making cX-
tensivc preparations to meet the demands
that will be made upon them. The shop
widows already begin to reveal the trea-
sures that will soon crowd the shelves and
counters, and are rejecting the bright hucs
of holiday wear and Christmas presents
