Hellberg is a peculiar man. Yes,
but he has the goods. Hellberg Is a
Swede. Yes, but he has the goods.
And Hellberg is nervous sort of a
Swede. too, but he has the goods -
and that is the main point, anyway. In
ten days more it will be Christmas,
and it takes time to select fine jew
elry for presents. That is why this
article Is written. Hellberg has heard
Of the enrmous crops and general
prosperity this year, and has stocked
his store until it looks like the treas
ure chamber belonging to some king in
a fairy tale. Never before has he MADE
such an effort to show such stock
that the people may find what they
want.
For the Baby.
Christmas shopping is an Irritating
task If one does not know what to get
for dear friend, but in large jewel
ry store it is made easy. There is the
baby of dear friend, sister or daugh-
ter, for instance. Why not get him
a spoon, cup a napkin ring, a dain-
ty little pin, a necklace. a bracelet, or
perhaps set Of knife, fork and spoon
and have them neatly engraved free
of charge? In after years the child
will grow up and such gifts will al
ways go with him to keep fresh the
memory of the giver. When he or she
has babies of his own these Christmas
gifts will be brought out and memoir
les revived years after the graves of
dear ones have been almost effaced
with time. Such presents are very
reasonable in price, too.
For the Noung Girl.
Should it be young school girl, the

If one wants to do something hand

be finer than neat gold watch, per-
haps with one of those imported Swiss
Longines movements which have won
gold medals in dozen great worlds
But if the purse, is linn
tied hundreds of beautiful little pins
or hat pins in signet style all ready

Hellberg's store is that if you don't
see what you want he can show it to

great iron safes Signet jewelry is all
the rage this year.
For Man.
But perhaps it IS a man to he pro-
vided for and the average woman does
not like to go shopping at the store
frequented only by men, She need not.
Men, too, like jewelry and Hellberg
has it for them. Never has there been
sold in a single year so many fob
chains as have gone out OF Hellberg 8
store this season. Signet cuff buttons,
too, have exceeded all previous rec
ords and He ,berg has filled in his
stock with many bran new styles. A

return borrowed goods. you know.
Then there are sterling silver shaving
cups. silver mounted razor strops,
fancy silver mounted and pearl nan
died pocket knives.
For a man and especially a young
man a gold watch exceNs all other
gifts that can be made. Who ever
saw a man in these times who did not
have a watch of some kind? He would
look lust as strange without pants.
There is nothing man uses oftener
and nothing he likes more to see of
the first order in quality. Hellberg

a watch in this country. He has long
made a speciality of gold watches and
hundreds of very fine time pieces have
gone into the pockets of central Iowa
people with his name on them. He'll

his gold watches and he is not afraid
to stake all ON them.
