from what your friends have
told you of the price they paid
long ago that you could not
afford to buy one.
| Good Safes at prices less
than reasonable are an inno-
walton here and we believe we
are responsible for it. Take a
peep at those just inside the
entrance to our store.
We mentioned, incidentally,
last week something about
Haviland ware; we're through
stock taking now and have
opened a number of casks OF
just such China as you want to
make your table a poem and
your China pantry a picture.
Haviland ware not only inn
proves the appearance OF the
table but adds, as we'll, to the
taste of the good things set
before your guests.
One great advantage in
HaviIand is the fact of your
being able to buy a single
piece at the same rate you
would a hundred and you don't
have to buy a full set at one
time. You can buy a IL doz.
plates and have a nucleus of a
dinner or tea set and add to it
as you wish. Ifyou have what
is called a regular set" Of
decorated China and your ser
want breaks even a single
, piece your set is ruined be-
cause it is impossible to match
} dishes in such sets. With
Haviland's it is different, we
make a specially of and rec.
ommend a very pretty pattern
known as "21o6.' Selected
because of it's delicate beauty
and because it is the pretties1
of a hundred or more different
patterns made by Haviland
The flowers are so natural ir
: appearance that they neec
only fragrance to tempt one to
pick them from the dish. You
think we exaggerate but we
don't; come and see for your
self. In addition to the regu-
lation pieces for dinner or tea
we have sets for fish, berries
salad, ice cream or roast beef
If you already have a set tina,
you do not want to lay aside
we will help you to break the
monotony of the meal by sell
ing you the necessary pieces
for a single course, say a salad
set. You'll make a great i'm
preston on your guests if you
accept our suggestions, and
you will be pretty we'll pleased
with the taste you have shown
in the selection.

We are and for that reason we
are careful to get the best. Sc

provided himself with one such
