Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1891-12-19

John Chambers store is pervaded with
an aroma of good things that would
give an appetite to the most grabbed
dyspeptic in Frostburg. In addition
to staple groceries and necessary
family articles of every description
his stock includes toys of all kinds and
confectioneries. And John is just the
fellow to dispense such goods. If Mr..
Pink Whiskers' long beard was painted
a patrlarchal color and added to John s
rotundity and benevolent phiz, he
would make a typical Santa Claus.
AS it is, wherever he is known the
children cry for him.
1t is not likely that patent medicines
amount to much as holiday goods, but
if you overeat of the goods you buy at
Chambers, or at Reichenbach's dining
tables. Dan Krapf, the druggist. has
several standard remedies for sudden
complaints, such as a sick stomach and
a head ostensibly suffering from an
enlargement of the brain. But Dan,
like all other apothecaries, does not
wish to bo solely sick mans mer-
chant. He, too, wants to distribute
for a consideration toilet articles,
ornaments, ETC., ETC., to people who
are we'll, and he is ready for holiday
business with IL stock that is sure to
please.
1t WAS stated la It week that George
II. Wlttig had returned to his old
stand. The cyclone struck him hard,
but he comes up smiling. Every night
a score of gas lights illuminate his
room with d radiance bright as day
and crowds of eager little ones throng
the floor wondering what Santa Claus
will select for them from the great
array of goods which line the walls.
There is everything here for them, and
very many for big folks, too.
The Hitchins Bros. Co.'S place is just
now woman's paradise. The big
the lovely half of creation, but at this
time especially so. The columns have
been dressed in green and three great
big arc lights illuminate a beautiful
canopy of goods that must have been
bought to sell to the fairies. The
company has been very wide awake i'll
getting ready for the rush Of holiday
shoppers, and their big establishment is
consequently filled with all sorts of
pretty things. Dress goods, laces,
wraps, gloves, furs-indeed, nearly
everything a woman can think Of as
desirab le for holiday wear, are heaped
all along both wings of the hall in the
most orderly confusion. Then there
is in the grocery department a host of
sweetmeats, nicnacs and bonbons for
the delectation of both Il festive taste
vacation and appetite.
Now. suppose one imagines he can
not get what he wants in Frostburg,
and goes to Cumberand-w where would
the JOURNAL advise him to go?
Let US see
Do you want unique parlor orna-
ments for the holidays? Then inspect
John A. Fulton d Co.'S stock of goods
in this line, and when you have
supplied these wants, perhaps good
book, to the Werati Il never-faliing and
invaluable friend, will suit some loved
ones taste. If so, Fulton has it, or
will get it quickly.
If you go to Cumberland. you will,
Of course, go well dressed. "But,'
you say, "when | look at my feet my
feathers fall ~ No need Of that.
There is the big house Of S. J.
Edwards q Son within easy reach
where you can be shod from one of
the largest and most select stocks of
boots and shoes in Maryland. Not
only Soft you want Il hat, valise or
trunk, you can suit yourselves. 1t
would take column to describe fully
the styles and qualities of the goods
which here challenge inspection and
trial
A town lot, well located, in the Cum
berland Improvement and Investment
Co.'s Southern Addition to Cumber-
land, would be magnificent gift for
an investor to make to himself. In
the Judgment of knowing ones the
profit inside of 1892 will be 80 per-
cent. However, consult d. P. Miller
concerning that matter and you may
learn something to your advantage.
Among the clcyerest business men
are James Clark Il Co.-not clever
alone, but enterprising. Perhaps no
Cumberland manufacturers send their
goods so widely and so far as they.
Hence, the "BraddOck Whiskey' is
known everywhere, more especially
for its universally acknowledged med
icinal excellence. Should you want
any of it for holiday uses or to keep in
the house, they have it in its ripe con-
dltion. Or you can get any other
makes you may wish, or wines, etc.
all of guaranteed qualities. This is a
good time to read their advertisement
and accompanying endorsements of
the make and character of their
