our store. at ChrIstmns.

Among the stores that are putting in a
fine line of Christmas goods are Hollands
Adams d Ober's. and the new drug
store. This drug store fills the long-felt
want OF the people and should have the
patronage Of all. As you step inside you
will see the smiling face Of the genial
clerk, Mr.. Andrews, who is always glad to
welcome people and give them the best Of
attention. Do not fear to trust your pre-
scriptions with him, as he is a pharmacist
of much experience.
Mr. Holland has without doubt the fin
est holiday display ever seen in this town.
The two large plate-glass windows are
more than tastefully decorated. As you
step inside sou are greeted by a very pref
ty young lady tastefully arranged in a
swing II the clerks are busy DO not 20
out, for you can find plenty Of things to
take up your time as every department is
well stocked.
Do not think for one minute that Adams
and Ober are not in it Just because they
have not go. their goods arranged as yet,
for they will show you before many days
that they can decorate their windows as
well as others.
