THE RELIABLE CLOTHING STORE
is an excellent place for women who are
looking for presents for the men of the
family to visit. Gloves, handkerchiefs,
neckwear are always acceptable gifts for
men, while those parents who consider
the utility as well as the acceptability of
gifts could do no better than look over
warm overcoats and mits at this store.
@. A. PARcHERs.
At George A. Parcher's drug store taste
full gifts may be found in the way OF toilet
case offers fragrant Christmas cigars for

can steer clear OF the time-worn Christmas
cigar joke by relying on the Judgment of
the man behind the counter.

AMERICAN ADVERTISERS.
There are other advertisers in THE
AMERICAN to whom we extend Christmas
greetings at this season, but who, from
the nature of their business, make no
special appeal to Christmas shoppers.
There are the First national and Burrill
national banks, o. W. Tapley and G. w. q
+. l.. Mason, the insurance men; DIR.
Harvard Greedy and DIR. L. l.. Larrabee,
the dentists, and DR.. +. f. Simonton, the
physician, and others.
Even these Christmas touches more or
less directly-the banks open to Christ
mas deposits, the insurance men who will
insure you against Christmas tree fires,
the doctors and dentists, who will cure
your after Christmas aches and pains.
The improvement in the character of
advertising which Ellsworth business
men are doing in The AMERICAN has
been most marked during the past year.
Several of them are having their adver-
tisements written by specialists, and
others are following the lead thus set, and
each week making their "ads" say some
thing. 1t is the kind of advertising which
pays, for it tells buyers something they
want to know, and brings business to the
advertiser.
Advertisers, too, appreciate the factsthat
THE AMERICAN is beyond all question
the best advertising medium in Hancock
county. 1t reaches each week more
people than all the other papers printed
IN Hancock county combined.
Advertising to-day, properly conducted,
is business proposition, pure and simple.
