The holiday shopping has begun, and
during the afternoons and evenings the
stores are filled with people who are
busy selecting Christmas gifts for
friends and relatives. The stores on
Second street present a gay and beau
tiful appearance, especially in the even
ing when they are lighted and the ar
rays of holiday goods present a brill
liant appearance. The line of Christ
mas goods this year is more extensive
and varied than ever before, and one
must indeed be hard to please
if he cannot find articles for all his
friends which are suited both to his
tastes and the size of his pocket book.
