Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1904-12-19

Ii it is troubling any of our readers to
know what to get for Christmas presents
Just read our advertising columns or step
out on the street and glance at the display
windows. We doubt il Barton ever sa"
as many tasty windows, temptlngly
dressed with all manner of holiday goods
coming from the upper end OF the town
you will first see E w. Barron's window,
you will certainly stop to look at it and IL
you go inside you will find a most COM
piete line of holiday goods ready for your
inspection. Coming along down the
street we see numerous stores, but the
lines OF goods carried are not particularly
adapted to the holiday trade. We advise
you however not to pass them by un-
needed because a Christmas dinner pur-
chased at Hunters or something to COOK
1t In at Clark's would make very accept
able gift to the housewife. 1t wouldn't be
bad idea to give your horse present too
and you will find it in a harness or blanket
at l.. j. Browns, or you might get 1t
new easy running sleigh or your fatner
one OF those sleigh heaters at Whitcher S.
You need not fear getting shaved on this
street unless you get into one of Bow
mans barber shops. The ladies will OF
course stop at Mrs. Stones millinery
store and get hat or some fancy article.
Better stop in at Graves and get su pply
OF Christmas candy. Next you will stop at
Jenness where you will find one OF the
best stocks of furniture and crockery to
be found in this section, or else you Will
go over to Scott's and get seme canned
goods and vegetables, and wHiae there it is
but short distance over to Phillips
where you can get your shoes soled or your
| harness fixed. At Seaver's is the place to
| buy that stove you have thought about
| getting so long, or get pair of skates for
the boy. Hildreth, the jeweler, will fur
n1sh you with jewelry of all kinds or
repair your watch Just around the
| corner you can find E. q. Robinson and
probably he will be willing to sell you
your fruit and nuts for the Christmas
dinner. II you forgot to get your Christ
mas goose when you came by Comstock's
up on Main street then step into Folsom's
market and get what you want. 1t is now
handy to cross over the street and look
into Lang's window and il you don't say
IFS a dandy then you are not with the
crowd. Guess on the weight of that big
pen in his window and you may get the
| prize; If you can't see to estimate the size
OF the pen just step inside and Mr.. Lang
| will examine your eyes and furnish you
| with glasses. No doubt you have bee n
looking for fur coat this winter and now
is the time to get it. Sep into Geo. Fl.
| Davis store and he will show you the most
complete line of fur coats you ever saw,
the prices range from S15 to $3.50 each and
If you buy you will do just what the
crowd is doing. At A. R. Cowles' you will
find fine line of musical goods and Miss
Colburne can supply you with burnt work
and novelties. You can have your picture
| taken by Walcott and have it framed by
Webster upstairs in the bank block
Without going into detail H c. Pierce has
everything from a toy monkey to fine
camera, toilet set or book. Last but not
least we come to the stores of G. A. Bar
rows and John Batchelder. Barrows has 8
complete general line of goods and gro
ceries that has been swelled to nearly
double its normal size for the holiday
trade. The delicacies in his grocery de-
partment Will make you hungry. Batch
elder is the cIothier of Barton and car
show you a very complete line OF mems
and boys suits and overcoats. "Batch" il
also doing a big fur coat business ant
would be glad to have you call on him
Now that you have read this through resC
the ads in this issue and then If you dom
have ideas as to what you want there is IL
hope for you.
