CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.
Our Merchants are Usual the Center for Buyers
from all Parts of the County.

problem of gift buying is again with
us, fact that is suggested by a
glance at the show windows of Nor
risville's live merchants and more
fully realized after visit to the varl'
GUS stores, where the salespeople seem
never to tire of showing the goods,
although purchases are in many
cases deferred until nearer the close OF
the holiday season. A visit to the
various stores proves that the mer-
chants generally have made special
preparations for the holiday business.
The displays are at their best and the
time to buy is now; where to buy is
another question and will Decessitate
d trip like unto the one just taken by
the writer.
SLAYTON & SANDERS
II makes no difference where you
start in. We started at Slayton x
Sanders Just because we happened to.

lures, pastels and medalions, etc,

ornot. Their candy display is worthy
of Especial mention, also big line OF
Xmas books.
HALL & CHENEY.
The Hall & Cheney Pharmacy
across thestre is unusually well pre-
pared for the holiday business. A
line of leather goods will be found
here, which it is safe tosey cannot be
duplicated anywhere in the Lamoille
Valley. Chatelaine bags, music rolls,
pocket books, card cases, etc. Also
full lines of kodaks, toilet requisites
and books. A special line of Bakers
chocolates. These goods are put up
in neat packages, just the thing for
an inexpensive present.
A R CAMPBELL.
A. R. Campbell carries the largest
line of jewelry in Northern Vermont
and when it is stated that he has the
largest line of holiday goods ever
shown in his store it means much tic
all who have patronized this popular
store in the past. Their line Of rings
is much larger than ever before and g
look at this line alone is we'll worth 6
trip to the store. They are also es
pecially strong in watches. You viii
find what you want here.
il. WOODS.
Woods, the tailor, while young in
the Gents furnishing business, has ar
elegant line of the above goods in his
store in the Centennial block. AS 6
suggestion to anyone in doubt as to
the proper thing to select for a gentle
man friend we would mention his lin
OF bathrobes, fancy handkerchiefs
neckwear and fancy black and white
vests. You cannot make a mistake
If you select from Oscars stock.
MRS. F P. KELLER.
Anyore who could not select E
present which would be acceptable tt
his lady friend or better-half from
Mrs. Keeler's stock Of millinery anC
fancy goods would be unfortunate il
his selection-of what? Surely moi
the goods, as a wrong selection couC
not be made from this stock. Hav'
you seen her line Of sofa pillow
covers?
CONSOLIDATED SHOE STORE
Blair, the shoe man. sells footwear
that's all But do you realz9 thai
useful gifts are becoming more thu
proper thing with each recurring
Christmas? A pair of Blair's higt
grade shoes for men, women or chill
dren would be an acceptable gift, in
deed. They have an unusually nice
dine of fancy slippers.
T. B ELLIS.
Ellis keeps the best of everything in
the grocery line and this year is bet
ter prepared than ever to furnish any
thing for the table, having recently
added the j. III. Warren stock o.
groceries. Telephone or call at the
Ellis store and there will be no mis-.
take in your order for the Christmas
dinner.
FAUNCE & STRAW.
The City Bakery has no special
Christmas display, but they will take
special pains in filing any order for
their goods and prompt delivery OF
the same is one of the things in which
the hustling firm of Faunce & Straw
take pardonable pride.
H. WAITE & son.
FL. Waite & Son are making no
special Christmas show this year.
Their Wholesale produce business has
increased to such proportions that it
requires the whole attention of their
large force, outside of their regular
retail trade. 1t is an established fact
this firm is the largest wholesale pro-
duce house in this section of Vermont.
Farmers bring your produce of all
kinds to Waite's and get your cash.
incidentally the largest line of Xmas
candy in Lamolle County will be
found at this store.
