is farther ahead of last year than it
was the year before. He has lots of

teen years experience in making candy
and has man that he taught the bus

The people who eat the candy he
makes know it too. He has had two

Biggest Business Fever Known.
A Herald representative called on
the advertising merchants last even
ing and interviewed them in regard to
their holiday trade. Nearly all of
them have had such heavy trade the
past week that extra help has been
added to assist in the rush. Nearly
every firm has placed in stock special
lines for Christmas trade and in these
they have the best trade. Nearly ev
cry firm declares that the past week
has been the busiest in the history of
the firm. They all say that the pres
