MORRISVILLE
AND THE CHRISTMAS TRADE.
BUSY SEASON IN PROsPECT.-wHERE
ANE WHEN TO BUY.

ANE WI IO
As each succeeding year brings its
closing month of December and the
activities in the lines of trade here
represented, it becomes more aud
more evident that Morrisville offers
advantages by way of variety and
| quality of special holiday time goods
quite unusual in a town of consider
ably more than its size. As it has
| grown more and more to be an all
the year around center of business in
the mercantile lines, it has expanded
in this special direction, The furnish
ing of carefully selected Christmas
goodsto the people of the country
adjacent to us.
Morrisville's trades people are en-
terprisng, np-to-date, more than or
dinarily alert in their touch upon the
public pulse, ascertaining the tastes
and demands of the people and meet
ing them with goods sold as usual
thing on much smaller margin than
in many larger places.
The buying time is now at hand,
the looking is already commenced,
and to meet such demands we find
most generous display of seasonable
stock in many of our stores. In TAX
ing rapid survey of the situation in
a stroll around town, we may not do
all full justice but, inasmuch as no
charge is made for any mention in
this line, under this head, we trust no
injustice is done. If in this slight re-
view we use some printers ink upon
those not already our advertising
patrons, we trust they may see the
benefits to be derived from a small
expenditure for advertising purposes,
and come into the fold of live bust
ness people as represented in the adj
vertising columns of the News AND
CITIZEN. We start at the two corner
drug stores, you know drug stores
are nearly always on corner, and in
HALL & CHENEY's
we find much to please. In the office
room there has been displayed a large
stock of books, games, medallions.
etc. In the main store there will be
seen an elegant assert ment of photo
graph albums, fancy metal goods,
nice toilet articles, box stationery,
Christmas confectionery and many
other things hard to enumerate. In
purses, diaries, perfumtries, etc, there
is great showing. This store, one
! of the most attractive of it's kind in
the state, is destined to attract it's
share of holiday shoppers. Going
across to the drug store on the old
original corner, conducted by
H. j. DWINELL,
a store Immediately clean and white,
we'll arranged and attractive, we find
windows of dolls, windows of toys,
lots and lots of elegant things in Gel
luloid goods, a splendid array oil
china and crockery ware, new designs
in holiday perfumery packages, fancy
goods, toilet articles, albums, books,
games, japanese screens, etc. Mr..
Dwinell puts out a distinctly fresh and
up-to-date stock, no back numbers,
and waits until the proper time before
putting on exhibition, + o that people
do not get sick of the show. AS us.
