Christmas 1888. New Year 1889

ing forward to a year OF healthy
business and satisfactory results
This is the season of present-giv-
ing and receiving, and there is
no place in this city where you
can find a more acceptable pres

wonder the people come to our
place as everything that is suit
able or appreciative for Christ
mas is here in abundance,

Brothers, Sisters, Husband, Wife
and babies ; a stroll of half an
hour through our various depart

sense ideas of things useful and
ornamental than you could think
of in weeks thinking, with on
ly your own ideas to depend up
on. Of course you know it's i'm
possible for us to advertise every
thing we have in our store, as
we have hundreds and hundreds
Of things that we cannot enum-
crate by advertisement. What
we wish to do is to offer sugges-
tons and to urge upon you the
Importance of personally investi-
eating the magnitude of our
Xmas attractions. We have
mountains of Xmas goods to Sc
lect from in our rooms !;
it is a dazzling sight to be sur
rounded and bewildered by an
array of elegant goods, some
amusing, some interesting, some
useful and practical and every
thing that's desirable. So many
new things have arrived in the
last few days, it is hardly nee
essary to attempt to point out
all the beautiful and useful
things for presents; you've been
there Of course and seen for
your selves. Every one will be
there you can't afford to over
look us from such over-abund-
ance Of plenty. 1t will not be a
difficult matter for you to select
from and present to each that
which they most desire.

time already that we have re-
plenished our Xmas stock. 1t
