LARGEST, BEST AND CHEAPEST
stock Of Holiday goods ever brought into the

for ladies and gentlemen to make their selections
from so magnificent a stock.
Neither in Chicago nor out OF it have sucl
goods ever been offered at such low rates.
That we have the largest stock of the above
named line of goods is proved by calln. and
seeing our display.
That our goods are Of the very best quality vii
be naifested by carefully examining them, and
also by considering that they were selected BY
Mr.. Gehring from the largest stocks to be found
on this continent. We have sold such goods in
Ottawa long enough to know that our custom.
ers want articles of the very best quality, and
will not look at second rate goods
That We can sell goods at wonderfully prices
results from the fact that we bought before the
late rise in prices.
9. We bought OF importers and manufactur-
ers thereby saving jobbers' prices.
3. We have paid down money for the goods,
thereby getting the benefit of cash discount.
4. We do not intend to carry our stock over

our goods that will sell them.

this elegant stock Of tableware, dinner and tea
sets, fruit dishes, berry dishes, csstors, butter
dishes, pickle castors and the thousand other ar

and curious articles is quite surprising. Nor
must be forgotten,
Fine lot of Imported Alabaster Clocks.

And fine gold and silver Watches diamonds,
