everything, there's no 9TH
er way of knowing what's
to be had and the easiest
way to fill your list is to
look at all the store has to
offer and then make your
selections to fit the prefer
ences of the friends you
are to remember by a
Christmas gift.
The counter devoted to
cards and booklets de-
serves attention first. You
want the pick of the col
lection, of course, and the
choicest are going rapidly.
The best and brightest of
all the foreign publications
are here and we have chos-
en- only the daintiest and
prettiest Of the home pro-
auctions.
The pictures come in
for a large share of atten-
ton too;-they're among
the most satisfactory things
of all this seasons offer
ings. A hundred different
styles of mouldings to
choose a frame from and
you get them at the frame
makers price.
We have made a great
addition to our stock of
silver articles and for the
holidays have gone a bit
outside our regular line.
Napkin rings, match box
es, bon-bon dishes and
tongs, boot buttoners, vim
aigrettes, coffee spoons
and lunch-sets,-a wide va
riety to choose from, all of
the best quality and at
prices that will make you
look twice.
The Umbrellas are also
trying to catch your notice.
The stock is twice the size
it's ever been before and
contains more of the high
class uncommon novelties
particularly desirable for
presents. The prices go
from 75c to SI2.oo and
there's every wantable sort
between.
Handkerchief, smoking
jackets, bath and lounging
robes, mufflers, pajamas,
fancy night shirts, neck
wear, canes, gloves and
jewelry,-this store has
never seen SO bright an as
sortment and prices were
never so easy.
The basement is at its
best now, packed from
floor to ceiling with a won-
derful variety of odd un-
ique little things useful
and otherwise. Toys, dolls,
games, baskets, pottery,
Japanese articles and fav-
ors-the basement depart
ment has a Christmas sug-
gestiveness about it quite
unlike any other part of
the store.

than Mr. BOswOrh discovers that the reason he could
not sell them at 81 per cent more than we ask is that
the public had confidence i'm him. Selling goods to
an established house at 81 per cent discount from cost
selves, declined to buy at profit may be the way to
build up reputation and win confidence but the firm
forced to resort to such tactics nor do they believe that
