Christmas shoppers should not for
get. when making their selection of
gifts for the observance of the great
est of all holidays, that the large
store of H. Chernowsky, on upper
Water street, contains an immense and
varied stock of just what they are
looking for. that is, if they are look
ing for gifts that are useful. As Mr.
ChernoWsky says, his is the only COM
plete department store on the Kenne-
bee river, for not only does he carry
a full line of dry goods, garments and
millinery, and thousand and one
other things necessary to feminine
existence. but there also can be found
everything that a man needs in order
to appear we'll on the street, and to be
comfortable. In addition to all this,
he has displayed a special line of
Christmas goods, including albums,
handkerchiefs and glove boxes. mani
cure sets, etc, at prices which will sell
them on sight. And he has not for
gotten the little ones. and the count
less dolls. of all sizes. will make them
crow with delight. In furs he has the
finest line he has ever shown, also
jacks and caDes, all of which are
marked down for the holidays. His
star offer in this line is genuine
skunk fur boa for $3.9S. which would
be bargain at $500. In clothing he
has some great values in mems over
coats and suits. and big lot of special
Christmas ties and suspenders. His
line of ladies' slippers, as well as
slippers for gentlemen cannot be dis
counted in the city. This same remark
applies to the entire stock, and no one
should miss visit to his store.
