CHRISTMAS RsMELES.
There Santa Claus Reigns Supreme

Where Santa Claus Reigns Supreme.
Perseverance, energy and tact are three of
the great factors necessary to the success OF
sny business or enterprise. These trulsms
were forcibly injected into the writer's
thinking cap as he traversed the floors OF
Danzicers beautiful stores, on Sixth street
and Penn avenue. Going there prepared to
see an elegant stock of holiday goods, to say
that he was amazed would be putting it very
mildly indeed He was electrified as never
before, as the wonderful panorama of beauty
and magnifcence-culled from all over the
world-was gradually unfolded to his en-
rsptured vision. To describe all the hand
Eomelv pretty things seen is certainly be-
yond his power, and will merely picture
birds eve view, strongly advising every
body to do as he did, go and see
for yourselves. It'll amply pay you,
you'll be enjoyably gratifed. Well,
on entering these handsome stcrerooms from
main entrance, As Sixth street, and walk
ing half way up the aisle, no need to re-
mind one that the merry Christmas season
is again upon us. Here it is staring you
right in the face-elegant Tagnifcence,
regal splendor. From all the principal
private and Government potteries in Eng
land, France, Germany, Sa1ony and Aus
tria are rare, rich and lovely specimens of
high-class art pottery in vases, statuary,
candelabra, pitchers, urns and thousands of
other pleasing and attractively adorning
knick-knacks so dear to the hearts oflovers OF
the beautiful in household art decoration.
Here are also some splendid specimens of
italian sculpture in Parian marble. Like
wise a very excellent collection of rich cut
glass. Turning TO the right we are con-
fronted by an amazingly beautiful e1posi-
tion of bronzes. Artistic beauty fairly
revels in these life-like and true to nature
productions in bronzes. Immediately oppo-
site and at the bottom of the grand stair
case-which of itself is a pretty and notable
feature in these lovely stores, being an e1-
act reproduction of the beautiful staircase
of the House of Representatives, Washing
ton, d. C.-is situated the jewelrv and
silverware department, and Judging by the
vast crowds surrounding the four counters
this must be a very popular resort for
Christmas presentsi Upstairs at present is
devoted to plush, leather and oxidized al
buns, manicure sets, work boxes toilet sets
and thousands of other pretty, useful arti-
cles suitable for Christmas or New Years
presents. Right here we were pleasantly
surprised at the elegant display of ladies'
and children's wraps, also the wonderful
and comfortable looking collection of furs
from every cline beneath the sun De-
scending by the elevator we land in base
ment. Here is where Santa Claus loves
best to reign supreme, the place where
the little folks are made happy. Surely if
toys make children happy-and who so bold
to assert the contrary-then they say go to
Danziger's, for there you will find every
conceivable toy besides a great many that
are inconceivablei He had almost forgot to
mention the wonderful doll family; there's
thousands of them here, from the tiny, wee,
modest dollie up to the handsome Imperial
doll, princesses. And the library, well,
the budding intellect of young America,
can be supplied with great variety of high |
class literature here at very small cost.
Then the games, why, there's hundreds of
different ones, and we have no doubt they
will be the means of producing real, un-
sdulterated, genuine fun, enjoyment and
amusement to thousands, both old and
young. these cold winter nights. We would
close by advising all hunting Christmas
presents to visit Danziger's, for it seems to |
MS what you can't get there, you can't get
anywhere. |
