The Popular Christi mas Tables in the China Depart-
 ment.

These tables are fixed Christmas attractions-each year they prove to be most popular. There are al- together eight tables-I0c, 25c, soc, 75c, $l.00, SIPS, $1.50 and $2.00. While the low priced tables are popular, the S1 and $2 tables are more so than the rest-especially the $l table containing as it does all new pieces bought particularly for the holiday trade.
 The special attraction of the g table is owing to the fact that it contains a number of pieces that were formerly $3.00.

FA Point of Fact to Con slider in Doing Your Christ mas Shopping.

@AA AN CA Slider in Doing Your Christ mas Shopping.
 qThere are good reasons why you should do your Christmas shopping here lndutiable evidence that this is the most economical place; we leave out the question ot supremacy as to size and variety of holiday goods-lt's the fact that we can supply you with Christmas gifts at less than other stores that chiefly concerns us now.
 fHere's the why and the because:
 fIt costs less, relatively, to light this store than 1t does any other store in the South because we have our own electric light plant.
 qTlt only ruquires three or four cashiers in this store to make change for thousands of customers-because we have an instantaneous Pneu- matic Cash Tube System that costs nothing to operate.
 It costs this store less to deliver goods than any other because we frequently have a dozen deliveries for one street and the greater num- Der of deliveries a store has, the less is the cost for each delivery-besides we own all our own wagons and horses, they are attended to by our people, and we stable them in our own barns.
 FSum it all up and you will see this perfected system of retailing makes it possible for us to sell goods at a small CT cost than stores that lack l it-and so there is less ex- pense to be added to the first cost.
 fThat brings us again right to the point-We want your trade because we de- serve it not only for maintain ] ing a store that puts you on 1 New York's Broadway or 9th Avenue, so far as oppor- tunity is concerned, but be- cause this store so practices the economies of retailing that it makes the cost to you less for anything you want, for personal wear or home use, than if no such store as this existed.
 FSo shop here because yo1 can get more for your money because you can buy the same thing here for less mon- ey than it will cost elsewhere. because you may get more or a handsomer present fol the money that would buy less of either quantity ol quality elsewhere.

painting is the only one in ex-
istence that represents the murdered
President in the costume Of the order.

old gold and is backed by two silk
American flags.

swer all questions for Canton by say
ing that he is the only representative
Of the Canton Commandery that ac-
companied the Ohio delegation.
