e. e. Perry & Co.

Everybody who Is in the habit Of
purchasing the best of clothing and
gentlemens furnishing goods knows
where the store Of E. Il. Perry & Co.
is located Past exerience has taught
the high class buyer that Perry's is a
great place to go when looking for the
very best values. There Is great sat
isfaction in the feeling that one has
got his moneys worth. Perry & Co.
have been making great preparations
for their holiday trade. The immense
line of goods which they are offering is
absolutely new and up-to-d date, and
this fact is worth remembering by ev-
cry holiday shopper. No better pres
ent for the out door man can be found
than dog-skin overcoat of the cele-
brated Bishop make. These garments
are made to withstand the very cold
est Vermont weather and will wear
like iron. If your friend, the teamster,
is already provided with a suitable
coat, then buy him a Russian vest and
make him doubly warm, or pair of
gloves lined with lamb or squirrel.
Perry & Co. have an extensive line Of
hand warmers, ranging in price as
high as 81. Among the other holiday
goods that can be found at Perry 8 are
bath robes and smoking Jackets in the
very latest styles, dress suit cases and
club bags made of the finest leather
umbrellas with horn and ivory ham
dies. silver mounted, dress suit shields,
silk embroidered suspenders, Hart
Schaffner & Marks silk lined rain
coats and sweaters of all kinds in ad
dition to a full line of the very latest
neckwear. Just because Perry e. Co.
have put in such an extensive line of
holiday goods does not mean that they
have diminished their regular stock by
a single garment. They still handle
the very best clothing, and can make
suit or overcoat to order that VIII
favorably with the work of
any tailoring establishment. The store
will be open every evening Christmas
week.

VI. Loan & Trust Co.

Nothing gives more satisfaction than
a liberal amount of spending money at
Christmas time, but If one is lucky
enough to have this and a few hundred
dollars besides there is no better place
to put this surplus than in one of the
Vermont Loan & Trust company's first
class farm mortgages. For nearly 20
years this concern has been making a
specially of loaning money on the very
best security, and in all that time not
single customer has lost cent
through a poor investment The Yer
mont Loan e Trust company has
personal knowledge of all its loans
which are made in the very best sec
lions of North Dakota and Washing
ton sections which in late years have
been enjoying unusual prosperity. $500
invested in one of its five per cent.
mortgages will yield an annual income
of $25, money enough to buy plenty of
Christmas presents every year.

There are a number of things in H.
r. Browns harness store that would be
appreciated greatly as Christmas pres
ents by some people. His stock of blan-
kets. robes and whips was never before
so complete as it is at present, and he
also has in stock a fun line of Excel
sior sleighs which are conceded by
good judges to be the best sleigh on
the market. OF course Mr.. Brown sells
harness of all kinds both factory and
