OLD KRIS POUCH
VIII be Bullying Ont with Goods
From Becker & Co.'s.

The rush of holiday buyers to John
Becker G. Co.'S jewelry store, No. 1927
Jacob street, justiies the prediction
that the pouch which the good old Saint
carries, who visits this mundane
sphere every Christmas, will be fairly
bullying out with articles from this en-
terprising firm. Honest values and
low prices are trade bringers for Beck
er & Co., and their stock of diamonds
and watches. silvervare and novelties.
is as comprehensive as any in the city.
embracing a sufficient variety IN de-
sign and price to suit the most exact
ing taste.
Holiday buyers have learned, wheth-
er they carry plethoric purses or their
means are limited, that they can find
in Becker & Co.'S stock just what they
want, and at a price lower than other
dealers charge. Fine diamonds have
been in great demand. and Becker &
Co.'S sales in this line have exceeded
those of any other holiday season. this
fact giving evidence of the general bus
mess prosperity, and particularly of the
reputation of the firm for selling pre-
cious stones at the lowest prices.
I'VE have also had a great run on
watches and rings" said a member Of
the firm to a Register reporter during
a breathing spell in last nights rush.
These articles make most acceptable
Christmas gifts, and there is such a
range in price that it is possible %
suit everybody. Our trade from re-
mote parts of the city. and from neigh
boring towns, which has always been
a source of qualification TO US, has this
season been larger than eVer before"
II is hardly necessary to comment
upon this statement. Persons do not
pass other jewelry stores, and travel
a distance of several miles, to buy at
Becker & Co.'S. without a strcng in
Aforementioned the inducement in this
instance is a reputation for fair deal
ing, based upon honest representation
and hest values for the money.
