Of the enterprise and ability OF firms
standing and interest In pleasing the
public. The REFLECTOR has for sew
eral years taken pains to call attention
to the deserving business houses In the
city In this respect From day to day
II proposes to once more mention those
that are being admired by the pur'
chasers Of the city.
Upshaw Furniture Co. To com
mence at the North end Of Broadway
the double block OF Upshaw Il Co. is
thing Of unusual beauty. From the
handsome pictures in the windows,
through the long lines Of new furniture
IN plush, antique and novel styles,
under hanging draperles and portleres
to the rear Of the large lower flnor Is
scene Of beauty. The stock and prices
are such as scarcely town In the West
OF this size enjoys and makes 1t unnec-
essary to 90 TO Ksnsas City for furni-
ture Of any kind. There is.an increas-
ing tendency toward purchasing useful
presents aud furniture usually comes
FIRST. Upshaw can suit all.
pisle & Fisher-It is not usual for a
hardware store to be noticed in holiday
displays but Pisle Il Fisher have such
beautiful line OF stoves, tinware,
knives, buggies etc, that their store
should be noticed. The store is always
complete but never more 80 than now.
Lucky will be the family that gets its
presents from Pisle & Fisher.
Ut. Hornaday The "pen Of the
prophet" Is necessary when one goes
into a description of j. 4. llornaday's
Boston store. The fact that crowd
of children is nearly all day around the
windows Is sufficient evidence Of its
attraction to the little folks. From
floor to ceiling there is scattered, piled,
displayed, hung and combined every
kind Of toy, game and amusement
device known on earth. For the older
people there IL an equally handsome
line of plush goods, albums, novelties,
chinawarc. etc, etc. It is certainly
Santa Claus headquarters.

DenellLn Is very apt IN describing + j..
Ilrsch's double drygoods and gents

and abundance characterize the store

shows tho proportions TO which this
