over Calender, McAuslan 81 Troup, by
above them-and OF its magnificent
new--practically new-building just
completed which the Company

Wholesale departments. A compai ison of
the two pictures gives one an idea OF what

class architecture once upon time, and
how different the stately standard Is oil

OF the holiday stuffs TO be found within.
Their announcements In the advertising
columns will infornsthe reading public
in elaborate detail as TO this.
But no commemorate idea OF the

But an unique and interesting introduc-
tion into the stocks is beautiful edition
OF famous "Trilby," limited to 600 num-
bered copies of which the Boston Store
has few, which commands the attention
OF lovers of fine editions OF fine books.
Possibly these may be all sold out before
this paragraph reaches the eye.
The II. w. Ladd Co.
Never in the history OF this long g-estab-
lished house have so many attractions
been presented for Christmas, or SO much
effective effort been put forth In the inter
ests Of the holiday shopper. Ladd's is
ever an exclusive house, noted for choice
and exclusive goods in every department,
but they have also demonstrated that the
best things are not necessarily the most
expensive things. Rather are they apt to
be the cheapest things in the end.
So, Ladd's holiday stocks have a charac-
Ser to them in keeping with the high
standard that always has distin-
guished the house, while you can do your
Christmas shopping there with the ut
most economy and find wealth of little
things at small price and big things cor
respondingly inexpensive from which to
select your Christmas gifts.
Ladd's offers fine line of fancy wares,
silver goods, gloves, handkerchiefs, laces,
mems furnishings. A beautiful display OF
art work, q charming doll show and such
like make an unique arrangement OF
Christmas gifts. Ladd's is nots-
Bile as lea ding silk house. It's wonder
ful how many desirable things there are
made out of silk-from silk fan to
silk costume in the dressmaking depart
ment. just look them over. They never
before were SO lovely--and nothing of the
kind was ever available at SO low prices.
