PARADISE FOR SHOPPERS.
GoldenberG & Co.'s Splendid Assort-
ment of Christmas Presents.

One of the great sights of the city for
Christmas shoppers is the combined stores
of Goldenberg & Co. These stores now oc-
cupy buildings Nos. 922-4-6-S 7th street
running through to 706 K street. The enor
nous floor space given by the several
stories of these buildings allows a generous
display of the varied stock which has been
laid in for the holiday trade by the firm.
The coming Christmas will be the fourth
for which Godenberg & Co. have supplied
many of the people of this city with suit
able gifts for their friends, and the firm
has made unusual exertions in order to
outdo any of their efforts in the past in be-
half of their patrons during the holiday
season. They proceeded only a few weeks
ago TO add another store to their series of
buildings, and they have devoted it en-
tirely to a display of toys for Christmas
presents for children. 1t has been made
into a wonderland for the little ones, the
most extensive attraction of the varied COL
lection being the dolls of every imagina BILE
variety. There are big dolls and little
dolls, dolls with hair and eyes of all col
ors, and some of them will cry, close their
eyes or perform variety of other wonder
full acts, to delight the little girls who may
be so fortunate as to receive them from the
hands of Santa Claus,
Another speciality made prominent in the
stores of GOldenberg & Co. is a varied and
adults, and which are marked at unpre-
cedented prices. Big tables are covered
with these books, which include all the
standard authors, and a very extensive as
Sortment of them can be bought for 10
cents each. These 1o-cent books are clearly
printed and are bound in stiff cloth backs,
making a neat present for any one. Sets
of the works of standard authors are mark
ed at remarkably low prices. Dickens, in
fifteen handsome volumes, can be purchased
for S3.9S. that price being merely an ex-
ample of the small sum that is asked for
the best literature
Goldenberg & Co. are also making a re-
markable display in their china depart
ment, where they have gathered hundreds
of handsome articles especially appropriate te

of sterling silver will be surprised at the
prices at which they can get articles that
would he treasured by their friends The
fancy goods department is fitted out in a
style so attractive that no one can pass

display, while for the thoroughly practical
people the ladies' and children's shoe de-
partmeut, together with other sections of
the house, will permit them to get presents

Since the holiday trade began the stores of
Goldenberg & Co. have been filled with

although the counters are frequently strip
