Fine Glassware Display.

On every side the eye is greeted with a
beautiful display of Christmas goods, as
one walks through the handsome store of
the Dulin & Martin Company, who sue
ceeded the late Mr.. NJ. w. Beveridge, at
12l5 street and 1914 G street. One might
well imagine that the entire stock had been
selected solely for those seeking Christmas
gifts, for there is but little in their big
five-story building that would not make
most desirable presents. Among the
articles shown are the newest and, choicest
cut glass, fine glassware for the table,
French gold-decorated glass, the latest and
handsomest lamps, Sterling silver and sill
PLACED ware Tor the table and loilet,
imported novelties for use and decoration,
dainty bits of bric-a-brac, etc.
There is much to choose from, and
such a wide range of prices in every line,
that it is no exaggeration to say that every
taste can be suited there. Special care and
attention has been given to selecting mex
pensive articles, and the great variety of
beautiful pieces in silver, cut glass, bric-a-
brac, e.c., that Will make most acceptable
Christmas presents, shows how well the
popular demand has been anticipated.
The standard of quality which was MAIN
tanned by MI. beverage for so many years
has been rigidy adhered to by the present
members of the firm, who were the active
managers of the business for about ten
years previous to the death of Mr.. Bev-
eridge Purchases made now may be laid
aside and delivered at any time up to and
including Saturday, December %.
