The Druids used to cut the mistletoe
from their sacred oaks with elaborate

berries left no more kisses are allowed.

A NEW DEPARTMENT.
VIM. Green s. Sons Double the Size of
Their Store.

One of the most attractive and neat
est sights on Kansas avenue, or in fact
any place in the city of Topeka, is the
new meat market and fruit department
have just completed and opened to the
public in the room adjoining their gro
Gerry store at ia Kansas avenue.
The new department is separate and
distinct from the grocery department,
and is connected by a large arch and
large swinging glass doors.
| In this new department the Messrs.
Green have spared no expense to make
the market the most attractive and
complete, and together with the high
quality of the merchandise carried,
those who have seen it say that there
is nothing in Kansas City or towns of
such size that can surpas it.
| Then, too, they have installed ideas
that are entirely new here and in fact
found only in a few stores of the coun-
try. For instance, there is horse rad
ish machine that CRATES the root while
you wait, assuring the public of fresh
horseradish. A slicing machine that
cuts cabbage Slaw, fresh as you order
it, besides machinery in the back room,
with which to manufacture sausage and
chop Hamburger. which is done every
morning. All the machinery is run by
electricity.
There is also a modern smoke house
hams and bacon, which carries the fact
that they will kill most all their own
meats.
One prominent feature of the new de-
partment is the oysters. which are
packed expressly for them in Baltimore,
In sealed air tight cans, in pints, quarts,
half gallons and gallons. Unlike most
oysters these come solid. This market
is the only one in the city that receives
oysters direct from the oyster beds, as
all other oysters are shipped to dis
tributing point in large watts, where
they are repacked in quantities desired
For this locality the repacking is done
at Kansas City.
Special attention has been given to
the fresh fruit department, which is,
and will be kept, the most complete, as
1t is their intention to always carry the
very best that is obtainable. Some
thing that has never been offered in
Topeka before, and which is displayed
in this department, is the celebrated
Pink Malaga grape, which was secured
be carried all through the season.
The pickle and bottle department has
been moved into the new room and in
it can be found everything in the or
binary pickle and bottle line besides a
large assortment of the extras for deli
cate eaters.
There is also green stuffs, such as
lettuce, celery, onions, radishes, cab
bage, caulifiower. etc.
Poultry, fish and game are given special
attention, and in fact to try to enum-
crate the many good things carried in
this new department would be task
the writer would dislike to undertake.
One thing, however, that is deserving
of special mention is the neatneSS and
attractiveness of the new department,
and the Messrs. Green deserve a great
deal of credit for giving to Topeka such
a complete and handsome market, and
one that deserves the approval and sup
port of the public.
