One of the oldest firms in Bradford is
that Of Stevens & Clark. Their store is a
repository for almost everything. What do
you want that you can not get here for
housekeeping? Just at this time there is a
display of crockery, handkerchiefs, towels,
aprons and other holiday goods that are not
seen every day in the year. The 25 cent
counter has many attractions and will no
doubt carry happiness to goodly number
on Christmas morning.
A prominent part of Christmas cheer is
gastronomic. After the examination Of the
gifts which Christmas morning brings, it is
highly important that plans for dinner of
extra proportions and richness be carried
out. 1t will be a busy day tor the house
wife. but visit in good season to this store
will simplify matters greatly. whether 1t
is a staple or fancy article you want for the
table, you'll find it here. All sorts OF deli
cacies there are to tickle the palate and sat
