What Que of San Franchises Leading
Merchants Is Doing to Brighten the
Holidays.
1t is at this season of the year that to get
the right thing at the right place is matter
of greater difficulty perhaps than at any
other time. The stores seem to vie with
each other to place tempting and attrac-
tive array of goods before the intending
purchaser, and the dazzling fronts of some
of the stores along Market and Kearny
streets present such brilliant exterior that
it requires considerable tirmness of DISPOSE
ton to pass them by without going in and
spending more thar one can afford. For
tunately for the pocket-books Of the people,
one Of our leading emporums, having re-
celved large consignment of imported
goods some SIX weeks too late for supplying
the wholesale houses, which had already
lad IN their winter stock, have had to put
the entire bin into their retail store The
well-known house Pinkiert's Grand Bazaar
OF 937, 939 and 94l Market street must now
sell their enormous stock at such prices
that they shall go out with the same rapidity
as they would have done had they been sent
TO the wholesale houses. What is Mr.
Pinkierts loss, though, will be the gain to
thousands of our citizens, as the crowded
store of last week testifies, for never before
here or elsewhere has such an opportunity
occurred for purchasing goods az such a
case. The most delicate china and table
ware, the latest designs in dinner services
and tea and coffee SETS lie side by side with
unique mantel ornaments, vases, porcelain
figures, bisques aud bric-a-brac. A pro
fusion of useful articles are seen on every
side, wrting-desks, albums, papetieres,
table and stand lamps, all of the most beau
tiful design and finish. Handsome sets of
toilet articles, brushes and combs in uxuri-
ant plush cases, manicure sets, all SEEM
ingly especially designed for holiday gifts,
and all at the most ridiculouSly small prices.
Mr.. Pinkiert, however, is not so immersed
in business that he forgets to make happy
some OF the little ones in the orphan asy-
lumS. the city and citizens mutual care. A
doll, giant among dolls, has been picked
from his large and varied stock of this COM
modify and has been dressed, and is now to
be seen in the window at OIL Market street.
Happy, indeed. will the orphan be who pos
seSSes herself with this colossal doll 1t
will probably be as big as herself, for it is
fully forty inches in height, and combines
in the highest degree quantity with quality
In two short weeks the opportunity Will
have gone by when one can get goods at the
present rate. Pinkierrs Grand Bazaar closes
Its doors on the last day OF this year, and
after that date this bazaar will be num-
bered among the things that have been,
ana great indeed VIII be the mourning
among thrifty housewives and others who
have been accustomed to come here for arJi-
Giles OF every aud any description. Since the
death Of Mr. keene, who was the owner of
this property, the premises have passed into
other hands, and, owing to arrangements of
the heirs, who wish 10 occupy the premises,
Mr. Pinkiert's handsome store, handsome
goods and handsome figure will make their
last bow to the public on the 31st OF Decem-
Der, 1S9os
