Every body is searching for suitable tokens of love and goodwill toward their friends at
 the approaching Christmastide. While there are many places where desirable articles may
 be found, yet it is safe to say there is no
 one place where so large a collection of artis
 tic goods can be seen as St Cutters art store. Lovers of the beautiful will not soon forget
 the choice display made by MT. Cutler dur ing the holiday season of 1881, but 1t Is safe to say that if they have not visited his store during the last two weeks there is Q great
 surprise in store for them when they shall
 see what provision he has male for
 the present season. His store ia now | nearly three times as large as then, and filled
 to repetion with mora elegant goods than were ever before shown in New Haven. His 1 stock of engraVlngS and other pictures, al
 l ways large and choice, is now many times l larger than ever before, while ill artistic 1 framing, for which Mir. Cutler has long been l famous, ho has now gone far beyond all for 1 nler achievements. Among the notable new | engravings artists proofs of Alderney, a
 companion to Jersey; The Night Watch, c companion to persepols The Evening l Hymn; Tho HayfeId; The Waterside Inn and
 many other beautiful subjects In artistic
 bric -a-brac this store is especially rich, but | we can only mention few lines of these
 goods, beginning wish a large collection of
 artistic bronze medallions, many of them in 1 classical subjects, all framed ill plush frames | and suitable to stand easels hang on
 the wall. Then follow tho plastic sketches
 from tho Chelsea Tile works which
 everybody should sec. Then visitors
 will notice most elegant china
 and porcelain goods, elegant articles l in Royal Worcester, Grown Derby, Cope
 land, Dresden and other famous wares, ice
 cream sets, pancake sets, oatmeal sets,
 vases, jardiniores and other objects both use
 full and ornamental, The display of glass
 goods is very fine, also brass articles such as ! umbrella jars jardinieres, candlesticks, etc. A special feature of the stock is the art fur
 niture, cabinets, easois. stands, tables, pedes
 1 tals and desks. It is 8 pleasure to us to be able to call attention to such store as MT. Cutler conducts, IS it is enterprise ol l which the New Haven public may well be | proud and what better choice can be made l for 8 Christmas present than something oi 1 the beautiful collection at Cutters art store
