Christmas Dollars May Be Stretched
BY Buying at Hulrs
Everybody knows that the pleasure OF
Christmas shopping lies for great part
in the economy preserved in making
| purchases. This Is an undisputed fact
which hundreds daily during the pres
| ent season find out to their cost. The
stores where you can purchase the ar
| ticles you desire at economical prices,
and at the same time get good value for
your money are decidedly the stores to
| patronze.
Such store is the newly enlarged
and handsome establishment of Hull 81,
| at the orner Of State and Chapel streets.
| Christmas economy here stalks abroad,
and Christmas dollars may here be
stretched to their utmost limit. The
fact that inclinations and pocketbooks
but rarely agree during the present sea-
son seems to have been allowed for
here and small amount of money will
go great ways. New, rare and novel
gifts from foreign and domestic mar
kets are offered at prices that should be
| seen to be appreciated. The goods car
ried are all new and up-to-date and of
distinctive character that gives them
a value all their own. None of the lines
carried are novelties, all are in the ma
ture of necessities and they therefore
are the most acceptable presents that
can be made. The line Of toilet Access
series and leather goods carried ~ the
largest in the city, but every article Is
ayp1I1c,iya in tc &c all tc
price, In pocketbooks, card cases, golf
purses, letter books. bill rolls, wallets
and music rolls made up in alligator,
pigskin, seal, calfskin and crocodile, the
widest possible choice of a handsome
gift is afforded, In celluloid sets, SUI
perb perfumes, umbrellas, shaving sup
plies and razors the values offered are
exceptional.
Concerning the statement made that
prices on all the lines Of goods are lower
than elsewhere, 1t may be explained
that Mr.. Hull Is in a position to buy
such articles at prices below even dry
goods stores. 1t has always been his
custom to buy direct from the manufac-
turer, and to let jobbers severely alone.
His object and principle in doing this
is to bring consumer and manufacturer
more closely together. This has been
his policy from the first day he started
his store; the wisdom Of 1t Is apparent
in the phenomenal increase in his bust
ness and the enlargement Of his quar-
ters
The latter are well worth lengthy
description, for they are without excep-
ton the finest of the kind in Connecti-
cut. All the wood used in the cases
and interior decorations are of San Do
lingo mohogany all the trimmings are
of brass, plated with gold. The Win
dows of the store and the cases are all
Of plate glass with bevelled edge, and i
Of this three and one-half tons has been
used, making the store as light as pos
sible. The 1000 square feet of floor Is
all of terazzo. The store was built to
handle the big trade as well as possible
In short space of time The prescrip-
ton department is entirely separate
from the main store and the business
of the latter does not affect 1T In any
way. In his latest improvements Mr..
Hull has shown that he has the interest
of his customers at heart
