More Special Bargains

Mendel & Freedmans great rush of cus- toners this holiday time speaks volumes for the enterprise of this young firm, who have established already large and hourishing business. They made speciality of selling silk umbrellas at half price, and such was the demand that their large stock of them was soon exhausted and number of custom CTS went away disappointed. They have now received another supply which can now be had. Don't wait; it is the early bird that catches the worm. Also Christmas buyers need hardly be reminded of the large stock of gentlemen's neekwear carried by the firm, leather goods, cardigan jackets, ladies' and gentlemen's underwear, etc., which this house are already noted for.

For Christmas and New years.

Rev. MT. Mosman very much wishes to be able on Christmas or New Years to place in the hands of several families of worthy working people on his parish list a few dol
 lars that will not have to be at once paid out in order to live. There are many such fami-
 lies in New Haven who rarely or perhaps
 never have anything left over after paying the weekly or monthly bills. If those who
 have to spare in this way wish to share he will gladly be their messenger Or he will mention such families well known to him to
 those who prefer the enjoyment of personal service for others

Miss Annis Montague.

Among the attractions on next Sunday, when Christmas services will be observed in many of the churches, will be the singing at Trinity M E. church when Miss Annis Mon- tague, who sang at the last of the series of entertainments given at this church, will be present and sing. Miss Montague has been pronounced by many to be the equal of Pare pa Rosa. It is quite evident that only the capacity of the church will measure the audi ence on next Sunday.

A Standing Invitation.
 I have no more time to write advertise ments of holiday goods, nor is it necessary. Everybody knows where Cutters Art Store is. Everybody knows it contains the most va- ried and choice stock of photographs, etch- ings, engravings, brio g. brac in china, glass, porcelain, brass and other desirable wares. Everybody knows that the stock this year is more attractive and more attractively dis played than ever before. Therefore, I sim ply wish to extend cordial invitation to all to come and see my stock, with the assur- ance that no one will be importuned to buy, that every effort within the power of myself and my clerks will be made to wait upon my visitors, and that any failure will be simply because the demand has thus far exceeded my expectations.
 Very respectfully,
