A VERY ATTRACTIVE STORE.
Where Xmas CONNECTIONS and Pastries
Are Made Fresh Every Day.

FeSh Day
Every one who shops on F street and its
vicinity is familiar with the attractive es-
Establishment of S. A Reeves, grocer, baker
and confectioner, at 1909 F street. This big
store is really four stores in one, with it's
candy department., bakery department.
lunch counter and grocery department. The
reputation of Reeves chocolates and bon
bons is not confined to the ladies of this
city alone, for many a Washington man
has delighted his out-of-town girl friends
with a Xmas box of these delicious con-
feCtionS There are. more than seventy
varieties to choose from. all freshly pre-
pared every day of the purest materials.
All these candies are made on the premises,
which accounts for their low price. Al
cents pound Orders for Xmas should be
left early in order to insure care in pack
ing.
Those who do not care to bake at home
will find everything they wish in the bakery
department.: all kinds of bread. rolls and
biscuits, cakes, pies and pastry. Reeves
mince and pumpkin pies are the real old
time homemade pies that will make the
most inviting desserts for Xmas dinner.
The lunch counter is doubtless the most
popular spot in the entire store, and al
though it has twice been enlarged. it is not
yet sufficient in size to accommodate all
who wish to take luncheon there. The cof-
fee served at the lunch counter a cents
a cup is sold in the grocery department at
IS cents a pound. 1t is the best old Man
dehling Java and Mocha, that Mr.. Reeves
selects raw and dry roasts on the premises

tons and to retain all the natural flavor
and aroma.
In the grocery department will be found
everything that is best in staple and fancy
groceries, Imported and domestic table deli
cacies, fine old wines and liquors for the
table etc. The excellent quality of the
goods. and the uniformly low prices
throughout the store, accounts for the large
business which Mr.. Reeves now enjoys, and
which is constantly increasing.
