CHRISTMAS
GREETING.

y -
close upon us and we have been
making active preparation for it.
In every department you will
find evidence of this great sea-
son.
Recently we have been saying
considerable about dress goods
and ladies coats. OF dress goods,
will only say this time, that we
are keeping up the assortment
and are adding new styles every
week, and will so continue until
after the holidays.
We have had great difficulty
in supplying the increased de-
mand for ladies coats, which has
thus far exceeded any previous
season. Anticipating an even
greater demand for the approach
ing season, we placed large
orders with our manufacturers
and this week have opened the
largest and most complete assert
ment yet offered. One more
word about coaG~-. Every season
we meet with class who defer
purchasing their winter wrap
until after the Holidays, expect
ing then a reasonable discount
for the advanced season. We
are not unmindful of this fact
and have taken time ly the fore
lock and prepared to meet their
wants. From December 10th, to
January 1, 1892, we will offer our
entire stock of ladies coats at the
price plainly marked on the
tickets with a 10 per cent. dis
count to all cash purchasers.
Thus affording you all the advan-
tages of a late purchase and the
opportunity to select from a COM
plete stock.
The blanket and comfort sea-
son is full upon us and we will
give you great value for little
money.
Why not buy our Ct unbleach-
ed and Sc bleached muslins ?
They are great
Who ever heard of Standard
prints, worth 8 cents, offered @
cents? We have been selling
stacks of them and have yet
some very good styles. Best
Indigo prints at 81 cents.
During the great rush for wear
ing apparel and all kinds of dry
goods we have not forgotten the
epicure. To know just where to
buy that which will best suit the
table is a point well scored.
We believe when we direct you
to our Fancy Grocery Depart
ment that you will not only have
your wants fully supplied, but
that you will find many new sug-
gestions. For many years we
have taken the lead in Fancy
Groceries and we expect to hold
it.
For nearly two years we have
roasted our cOffees and we are
now receiving the reward which
our effort justly merits. The in
creased demand is wonderful.
From the lowest to the high and
very fancy grades are roasted by
us every week, and the trial of a
single pound means for us your
future trade on coffee.
Too much cannot be said in
favor of Bricks Nonpareil mince
meat, it is indeed very fine.
Larrabee's "5 o'clock teas" in
packages are meeting with gen
eral approval They are certainly
delicious little biscuit.
New fruits for cake and mince
meat are in great demand. We
think you will do well to buy
early and secure the choice.
This weeks steamer will bring
us a fine line of nuts, candies,
layer raisins, Foreign and domes-
tic fruits which will be very fine.
everything will be new and fresh
and we have been very careful
to select only the best goods.
Our space is not sufficient tt
give in detail our immense as
sortment of Holiday goods. Suf'
flee it to say, that every weekwe
are receiving new and fresh stock
and in distributing to our patrons
our best efforts to phase and &C.
commodate will be rendered
them.
Send us your orders and we
assure you they will receive the
best attention and be delivered
promptly.
