OUR HOLIDAY ADVERTISERS.

B. F. Wales Is going to have a room In
the Battell Block, and he wants to move
just as little of his stock as possible
unless 1t is moved into the hands of Gus
toners. He advertises that he is going
to mark things at cost, and that ought
to move" them quick enough.
G. II. Marshall says that the reduction
In the cost of manufactured articles in
sterling silver covers his stock the same
as that of any other firm In the land,
and that he can and Will match the
prices of any reliable dealer to be found,
article for article. See his own assertion
on the subject In this issue.
When 1t comes to variety-store,
Isaac Shapiro holds up both hands. He
lays claim to having more things priced
at five and ten cents than any other
place in town, and customers are al
ways surprised at the variety. He Is
ready for Christmas, too, with lot of
toys and more useful things.
Remick & Dickinson's ad. is not as
big this week as it was last, but that
does not mean that their bargains in
"utllity" Christmas presents have shrunl<
in proportion. They are going to move
into the Battell Block, and they are
bound to get their goods into the hands
of the people before knowing day"
e. p. Cushman, as usual, has an inn
mense extra stock just on purpose for
Christmas, andImakes a splendid display
of them in his big store. They are not
quite all in yet, so he defers telling
about them In his ad. till later. In the
mean time, he has a fresh display of
millinery, and big bargains in clOaks.
Some folks-the older folks especially
like to make useful presents to each
other and when that class is considering
its selections, Piper & Goyett want to
call attention to their stock of elegant
furniture. If anybody knows of a more
useful and appropriate gift than an easy
chair, they would like to be told all
about it.
1t is no longer "the thing" to crochet
impossible dogs and flowers in green
worsted on slipper "uppers" and present
the result to gentlemen friends. Ladies'
who want to select slippers for presents
now go to a regular dealer and get some
thing handsome. Bond Bros are adver-
Using storm goods this week, but they
have the slippers.
The Gee Sisters are this season making
a special effort toplease every taste in
their line. Although they have enlarged
their advertisement for the occasion, it is
not near big enough to tell all the pretty
and dainty things they have to offer. It
may be trite to say it, but the things
"must he seen to be appreciated" They
list few articles in thier new ad. on
first page.
That big storm last Sunday probably
made every stormcoatless individual in
Addison county shudder In anticipation
of the next one, which may come on a
weekday when folks HAVE to be out.
The "Old Reliable" Pine Hall man no
doubt had the fact in mind when he
wrote his announcement of big slash in
prices on heavy wearing apparel, in
Guiding big, thick, warm listers. The
man who gets caught next blizzard
without stormcoat doesn't deserve
much sympathy.
The grocery folks about town of
course haven't much to say on the sub
ject at this distance from Christmas but
when the time comes, they will be pre-
pared never fear.
Everything that connects a name and a
