Santa Claus is making special visit at
the busy corner" S. kann. Sons & Co.,
Sth and Market space. Usually this es-
tabishment does not carry line of toys,
because 1t has not room But this year
this enterprising firm has determined 20

busy weeks preceding Christmas and give
them an opportunity of doing all their
Christmas shopping at this store. For this
reason the finn has put in a line of toys,
which will not be a feature of the estab-
lishment after Christmas. However, this
change will not interfere with the other
lires carried by this store. The size OF
the candy department has been doubled,
and there large supply of the confections
which delight the heart of the children can
be fC und. Chocolate creams are sold Tor
II cents, cocOanw and peanut brittle for
cents and all sorts of chocolate bonbons
for 10 cents per pound. However Santa
Claus does not deal exclusively in toys and
candies. There are many useful articles
which people appreciate as Christmas gifts
and which cost no more and are Just as easy
to get as articles of trivial value if people
only knew where to find them. At kann's,
however, there is great assortment of use
full articles. Take, for example, their line
of umbrellas. They range in price from 9S
cents TO $50, and they are designed for

nancy, gloves, kann offers very fine as
sortment, while in toilet articles, such as
