No one who steps into b. T. Nelson

be impressed with the large and COM

not thing that is not worth attention.
Of Christmas candies he has par
ticularly fine line. Everything is new
and fresh and is put at prices which
astonish. Nelson will positively not be
undersOld by any one, no matter who;
on the contrary he discounts the prices
of any other holiday sale in the city. If
you don't believe it just step in and be
convinced.
For your Christmas dinner Nelson
has everything. There are cranber-
ries, poultry, bottled goods, oysters,
and other articles too numerous to men

business life in the city he has never
had such a fine lot of holiday bargains.
