Christmas is the one holiday in the
year which the little ones hail with
special delight. 1t means new play
things, toys, etc., that contribute 50
much toward making child life hap
py. It is no easy task some years
to find Just what you think will
please each one Of the family, but it
should be- an easy one this year. Toy
dealers have laid in larger stocks
this season than ever before, and it
il simply wonderful to see the new
creations for children's toys dis
played by our dealers this season,
among which is the firm Of Jarboe &
Lyman. Every space OF available
space in their establishment Is oc-
cupied by some article that is intend
ed for the pleasure of some child on
Christmas. 1t would be a fertile
brain, indeed that could even ina
CINE some toy not included in this
collection. This firm also has q
large supply OF books, standard
works by the leading and most
popular authors, which would make
very appropriate Christmas presents
for the older ones. A mammouth stock
of candies, fruits and nuts for the
holiday trade has also been received.
