The HOLIDAY Trade.

On the principle that "the early bird catches
the wOrm." some of the most sagacious dealers
In Holiday Goods are already arranging their
displays and getting ready to make their at
fractions known TO the public. IL is well un-
derstOOd fact that the best customers are those
who make their holiday selections early, while
stocks are full and fresh, and when they can
be properly waited on. Dealers who would
secure this desirable trade should. therefore.
be prompt tO give the widest possible publicity
to such inducements as they propose To hold
out to purchasers seeking bargains. We need
not add that the advertising columns Of THE
STAR are the recognized medium for all COM
munications of this class, but We may be par
dOned for reminding business men that the
loss of a days trade before the holidays can
never be made up after they have gone by.
Those who commence earliest are consequently
least likely to have to carry over a portion of
their stock Of goods until next season, with
the risk of being out of style, shOp-wOrn, and
ultimately sold below cost to prevent a total
loss of the investment.

Children. Of the finest pattern possible are SO

the sidewalks are SO crowded with baby
