GREAT DISPLAY OF CHRIsTMAs DEL
ICACIES.
A Peep Into Ziegenfelder's Busy Candy
Emporium.

A Peep Into Ziegenfelder's Busy Candy
Emporium.
Have you seen the candy house in
Ziegenfeder's show window on Market
street? II not put on your wraps and
come out and see it. 1t is great
curiosity. 1t is all made of candy and
put together in the most artistic fashion
by skilled workmen. 1t weighs thirty
pounds and contains the pureSt candy
known to the market. Now, anybody
in the city or elsewhere can possess
this sweet, novel and delicious house at
a small cost. Every customer who pur-
chases pound OF candy or over or its
equivalent at Zegenfelder's will be
given a ticket emitting them to one
chance in the house, and the person
holding the lucky number when the
drawing takes place on Christmas Eve
will be awarded the prize. There is a
great interest in the drawing, and al
ready the sales have been lively.
But house or no house the sales have
all along been remarkably brisk. The
new scheme is only offered as pleas
ing competition for the younger ones.
The great candy establishment of Zien-
genfelder's has long since become a
household word in every family, and
the quality and purity Of the goods
sold have had lasting hold upon the
people.
This year they make greater dis
play than ever, and while for many
years people out shopping have always
sort of instinctively dropped into Zien-
genfelder'S for sweets of all kinds, this
year they seem to make bee line for
this establishment as soon as they leave
their homes. The quality and variety
OF the goods have increased year by
year, until now people in quest of can
dies and ice cream find ii difficult task
to go elsewhere. Anything with the
trade mark of Ziegenfelder on it is a
mark of solid guarantee. and 1t goes.
People who have visited this store
within the past few days, and they
have been many, have been astonished
at the great variety Of choice candies,
pure and fresh. These goods are manu-
featured daily, and all can rest assured
of getting them perfectly fresh. The
chocolates and bon-bons make an es-
peciallv inviting array, and just the
thing to round out the list OF
home goodies, Some OF these
rich varieties of candy can
well adorn the table on Christmas
day, and be heartily welcome. Nearly
everyone on Christmas will include ice
cream in the dessert course, and those
who do not care to be bothered with
making it, and at the same time get the
pure, genuine article, should leave
orders with Ziegenfelder, who will be
prepared to I'll the same all over the
city. But when you're out shopping
this week, be sure and drop into Zieg-
enfelders and feast your eyes on the
varied array OF delectables.
