as much as about eighty elephants or

weighing $50 tons. But such are not

what they wanted and trusting to chance
to find something that would suit as they
made the tour of the stores. That was a
wasteful way. for it took up the time of
the clerks and at the close of the day left
the shopper weary and too often unsat-
istied.
Modern business methods nave chang
ed all this. for the progressive merchant
finds that by advertising his wares in at
tractive form, telling the people just what
he has to sell and what his prices are. the
time of his salespeople is not uselessiy
taken up and that at the end of the day
the aggregate OF his sales is vastly more
than it was under the old plan.
And it is not only the mecrhant who
saves by this plan. In these days of
concentration time is too valuabl to
be wasted by anybody. Those who have
purchases to make look upon the Inter
Mountains advertising columns as the
trustworthy shoppers guide and go over
the news columns. And in the advertise
mentS they find much that is news.
They have already practically decided
upon the amount of money they wish to
spend. In the advertisements they
find many suggestions for invest

the largest returns in comforts for them
selves and pleasure TO others.
From the advertisements the purchas-
ers make up their lists. They are people
who have money to spend, intelligence to
spend it wisely, no matter whether it be

HOLIDAY RUSH IS
NOW FAIRLY ON
BUTTES STORES THR0NGED WITH BUYERS-THE DISPLAY OF
CHRISTMAS GOODS IS THE FINEST EVER SEEN HERE.

With Christmas less than two weeks
off, those who have the trait of fore
handedness lave already commenced
their holiday shopping and these days
are busy ones for the Butte merchants.
Inquiry among them elicts the informal
ton that they expect this seasons trade
to be by far the heaviest ever known
here.
The early buyer, of course gets the
choice of the cream of the stocks. ana
moreover. avoids the big rush that viii
come next week. The novelties are dis
played this year in the most effective
artistic and tempting manner in the
store windows. and a stroll through the
shopping districts today will reveal 4
wealth of articles that for beauty and de-
STABILITY carnot be eXcelled in any city
of the United States.
The year 1900 will be famous as a year
of great variety and novelties in holiday
goods as a glance of Maine. Broadway,
Park. Granite and the other business
thoroughfares will show.

anticipation of the visit of Santa Claus:
then a display of cut glass. brilliant with
light. China of daintest quality, bearing
the likeness of flowers so natural that
it seems they had fallen there from the

striking contrast a collection of pretty

stout waking shoe and the neat riding

And SO it goes all along the line of hu-
man requirements. Things to wear:
things to eat: things to make the home
beautiful and comfortable: things with
which the person may be adorned; things
in which to ride and things to assist in
Walking: the practical, the artistic. the
frail and the substantial-au these,
something for everybody.
These are busy days for merchants and
FOR their customers. and the merchants
realize the Importance of telling the pur-
chasers what they have to offer them, so
that as little time as posslb,. may be lost
in making selections.

California four years ago.
Sharkey was equally confident
that he would prove to be Fitz.
