slowed by the head of the family or their
best beau. L. W. Hess has ever maintained
q reputation in the candy, nut and fruit line
Of the highest order. No one has as yet,
during the many years he has been in the
business, seen or heard of an unfit article
leaving his store. This has inspired public
confidence and gained for him the formost
rank in his business.
You are looking for the best for small
price. You wish many thing and have a
small purse. Hess can accommodate you.
Mixed nuts, the finest grades, are sold by
Hess at 10 cents pound, the best cream
mixed candies in the city at 20 cents per
pound, and fruits in proportion. A FIVE
pound box Of elegant candy Uhe 20 cream
at 80 cents. Cheap. No, for Hess sells it
so fast he can afford to make but a small
profit. Pyramids of fruit for Xmas are the
correct idea.

To Solve the Difficulty.

There is no end to the pretty things fol
Christmas. of course; but greater variety
of fancy goods of all descriptions cannot be
found in the city than at Hapeman & Ora
hams. Though their sales have been enor'
nous this week, their stock is so immense as
to be entirely unbroken and replete with
choice goods for the merry season.
There are pictures, bric-a-brac, Christmas
cards, delicate souveniers in the dainties OF
print and binding, editions de luxe of the
favorite authors, ine art books in handsome
bindings, albums, &c., &C.. and gift books
in single volumes and in sets that are sim
ply msrvels for cheapness and good quality
Of print, paper and bindings.
OF the better class Of games they have a
fine assortment, and, indeed, in all kinds OF
fancy goods and good literature their stock
is simply unequalled.
Their prices rule very low as they propose
to carry no goods over this season; and those
who don't know what to get' for Christ
mas, are advised to call there and they will
be sure to see '.just what they were thinking
about"

any other house.
Then the dress good line has some chosen
goods, which can be purchased at prices
that will make Christmas happy day to be
remembered for months to come.
And the boot and shoe house, too, "bobs

This has been an open fall. Yet Alshuler

weather is yet to come. We have already

you have been holding back-trying to make

we are to have no cold weather, but you
will be disappointed. The snow and zero
weather will be here, and may penetrate the
old coat.
Alsbuler had the new coats, and many Of
his customers are wearing them. They are
better than they were last year, and he sells
them at lower price than the goods Of not
so good quality were sold last year. The
cut is better, too, and indeed the trimmings
and general appearance has been improved.
If you are fitted, you and your friends will
not be able to distinguish the difference be.
tween your coat and one made TO measure.
The cloth is the same, the fit as good, and
the make is equal to any made to measure.
Alshuler asks no odds Of the merchant tail
ers. The only difference you will see is in
the price, and you will find that Alshuler's
price is about half what merchant tsilors
ask. That's an advantage, isn't it!
Alshuler has told you about the differen
styles, and the many fabrics that are repre-.
scented on his counters, and you know the
stock in a sort of general way. A closer
