| Go to Eisem&n Bros, corner 7th and f
| streets northwest, and get your boy 81
| overcoat for 1913. That is the sort OF
| Christmas present he will appreciate. II
| may be that all these coats will be sold
before you get there, but you will be able
| to get bargain in good overcoat or, Tor
| that matter, in an undercoat, a pair OF
| trousers or a whole suit. With the Inn
| merse stock to select from you can find
satisfactory fit, quality and price.
| Here is a good practical idea. Make an
Investment of anywhere from 500 to $1,000
| through the American Security and Trust
| Company, whose place is at 1405 G street
| northwest, and let that be a Christmas
present for your wife. The officers of the
| American Security and Trust Company are
| all men of the highest reputation and the
| institution is sound. They pay interest on
| deposits. which are subject to check at
curity if you want to borrow. Every man
| who has anything should make will. The
| American Security and Trust Company
| draws wills and keeps the documents in
| safety and when you die will act as ad-
| ministrator ard executor. If you have val
| uables to store they will keep them in
safety from burglars or fire.

or Sl,WO,OOO. The safe deposit vaults for
valuables may be had there at reasonable
| rates, ard in the savings bank department
they receive deposits from 10 cents up to
| as many thousand as you may desire to
put in. The company is a legal depostor
| for court and trust funds, and acts as
| administrator, receiver and assignee. The
J officers and directors are among the best
/ known citizens and financiers of Washing
ton.
| If you open an account with the Union
| Savings Bank. 1222 F street northwest
you will never regret it. They pay per
| cent interest on savings accounts. The
| bank is open until D O'Clock on government
| pay days and on Saturdays from to :
| in the evening. Small sums of money de-
| posted there with reasonable regularity
soon accumulate and grow and in the day
| of recessity bring security and comfort.
| During the hard times those who have
| saved have been independent.

| I.edy, 92S Tth street northwest, and IOi
| * street northwest. There is a decided
Christmas appearance about every counter
| in the store, which is brimful of gift
| things, and yet there is probably not an
! impracticable one in the whole stock. The
| idea of giving sensible and useful presents
| is growing more universal each year, and
| this class is made a speciality at the es-
| tablishment being spoken of. In the dis
play are to be found corsets and dolls
| handkerchiefs for men and handkerchefS
| for women, hosiery for both sexes, gloves
and mitts, ribbons and clever gifts in num-
berless varieties. An additional attraction
| is the fact that each article is marked at
| a little" price.

| materials offered at surprisingly low figures
| are all-wool dress goods. colored dress
| goods, 54-inch serge dress goods, wool
| remnants, black and colored moire silk
| Lew styles of verlaine for wrappers, elder
| down of all colors ard lace curtains. Tie
| display of Towner & Son will undoubtedly
| prove remarkably attractive to the resi-
dents of the northern section of the city,
The custom of making useful gifts at
| Christmas time is surely growing, and it is
noticeable that the wise people always
make such. Perhaps there cannot be a list
of more serviceable presents than that in
| the store of Barber & Ross, 11th and G
| streets northwest. There isn't thing in
| the establishment but useful substantial
merchandise, such any man or hoy
would enjoy, and the prices for the same
are not lower anywhere How about a
| tool chest? Not toys, but the finest, care
| fully selected mechanics tools Then there
are skates, which are always a joy pro-
| ducer For the grown-up folks, carvers,
razors and nut-cracks are ideal presents
| Penknives too, are always welcomed by
| masculine bipeds. 1t is treat to merely
| gaze into the show windows of this i'm
| mense establishment.
Speaking of shoes, it would be well to re-
| member that the proprieto-s Of the Star
ShCe Store, 1903 + street northwest an
| nounce that they are positively going cut
| of business, and are disposing of their en-
| tire stock at and below cost This fact
| has been appreciated by Christmas shop
perS, and therefore the clerks in the store
| are on the jump from morning till night

| all sorts, and boys school shoes, real calf
| shoes and pointed toe, handmade shoes.
