FOR CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS.

FOR THEM-GDoD DISPLAYS OF
NEW HOLIDAY GOODS.

NEW HOLIDAY GOODS.
Here we are at Merry Cnristnas again,
Christmas of the Old fashioned kind.
which we hear 30 much about but seldom
experience nowadays. Winter has good
grip on us already, aud IL he does not
loosen his icy fingers for another week, it
viii be all the better for Ellsworth mer
chants. The good sleighing will bring in
large numbers of Christina shoppers.
But Ellsworth merchants cater not only
to out-of town trade, but to home trade.
And here we want to repeat what we have
urged upon Ellsworth people from year to
year-when you are buying your gifts,
stay at home. There are not great many
industries in Ellsworth to draw money
from outside, and the many purchases
| from out of-town cause a constant drain
on the circulating cash In Ellsworth, with
the natural result from which Ellsworth
business suffers, tight money. II the peo-
pie OF Ellsworth really appreciated the
Importance to themselves as well as to the
""ci"Soo hohy VI hCcpiuB tuoHcy az bOhC,
there would be fewer purchases out
of town.
AT the opening OF a new century Els
worth's prospects look bright. Let US
make assurance sure by helping Els
worth and thereby helping ourselves.
AT this season OF the year, and this
year in particular, it must indeed be a
person hard to please who cannot fiud
in the Ellsworth stores articles to his
or her liking. Holiday buyers must take
a trip through the Ellsworth stores.
