A. BRADLEY SHOE co.

The Chinese regard the care of the feft even more important than the dare of the face and striVeeto& have Weir feet as small as possible. Al
 though they go to extremes in this p<setjee, yet after all the feet should be given more attention than they are by-1cfrilized people. The hands are made as shapely and beautiful as pos sible by most persons and when a glove is being bought nothing but a perfect fit will he purchased. and the buyer will see to 1t that he is suited. Just as much attention should be paid 10 the feet as to the hands. Although many do not think so. yet it is admie- ted by people whose opinion count that a shapely foot is to be preferred to an attractive hand. The feet of many perSpns would appear vastly different ifyrheir owners would exercise a lit tle.l Judgment when purchasing their
 footwear. They care not where. they %, and are willing to take almost any kind of a shoe as long as the clerk says it is stylish and costs about S3.50. Afsthe same time the shoe may he worth just half the price and the fl is one half size too large or too small. To those who have enough pride about themselves to get a stylish shoe and to those. who have enough sense to know what good shoe really is, the A, Bradley Co of Bank street extend an invitation to call at it's store and look pvef the footwear. If one goes away
 ilspleased he is hard to suit, as the line of shoes, slippers, boots, "spats. ' etc that the concern has on hand is almost amazing. --

STANDARD SHOE Co

1T one should visit the great shoe factories of New England he would marvel at the almost incredible quick ness and dexterity of the present day manufacturers. Years ago the cob pier made boots and shoes on a lap- stone. plying the hammer and knife and sewing by hand. But machinery has been substituted for those old lashioned methods and so lessened the cost of production that to-day our shoe merchants can purchase all grades of shoes from the great makers and sell them to the public at decidedly low price. That persons character is Known by his footgear is an estab-
 lshed Tact. Indeed, to such a degree has this truth been worked out that lately some scientist maintained ifs the only true index of our disposition. How natural it is for us to couple n lazy, indifferent temperament with an III nttlng, an unShapely and i'll made shoe. Bearing these facts in mind is IL not sensible to look for shoes whose distinctive qualities are lightness. f1ex- ibility and individuality? A shoe in order to be q good investment must S-'S 'ipii III iOOhS dS Well as III money; good looks and good service must go hand in hand. But the sue eessful shoe store must cater to n ya- rlety of tastes and grades. The same shoe will not please the professor and the farmer: the former wants a styl- ish shoe, the latter solid but not n clumsy shoe and not a dandified one. A third class to be suited is the per son with sore and tender feet. for whom footwear with no wrinkles. n wide tread. plenty of toe room and evenly distributed weight is neces- sary. After reading these require ments there is no doubt but the fact IS plain that man in the shoe busi- ness must have energy, patience and indomitable perseverance in the task Of persuading prospective purchaser that his stock is the one from which to select. The above characteristics. both in shoe and clerks. will he found in the firm of the Standard Shoe Co. If you buy your attire there for the nrst time out of curiosity. rest as- sured that you'll purchase there the second time.

PAIL ASHEIM,S CHARS

Mark Twain about one week ago, in one of his famous after dinner speeches. told of the enjoyment of which he has partaken of during the greater part of his life by keeping on friendly terms with that .'par' of bachelors, the cigar. What could make more suitable present than a box of good cigars? As the receiver weeks after, sitting by his firas!de !n the evening perusing some interesting novel or reading the days dolngs in the newspaper, sends the smoke from his cigar into the air in curls. his thoughts wander back to the friend who gave him the smoke and [ ,lkCs him think also of the feeling that ex- ists between them. Such is the kind one can purchase from Paul Asheim of South Main street whose hand made cigars are of the purest leaves grown. Mr Ashein not only has a fine line of Ggars but has also a large assort- ment of pipes, both cheap and costly. Some of his meerschaum bowls with amber stems are of the kind that one looks upon with envy. Cigar and cig- arette holders, all kinds of tobacco to- Daeoo jars, smoking sets. in fact ev- erything that is needed for the com fort of those who enjoy smoking can be found at Asheim's. If one nays him a visit and then compare his prices with those of competitors. 1t IS safe wagering that the purchaser VIII leave his money at Asheim's.

OF HE
DALLAS. THE FLORIST

Coming on the holidays, everyone is getting their home in readiness for the Christmas festival Housecleaning is in vogue in almost every house, and the evergreen wreaths, neatly tied with dainty ribbon, suspended from the windows, are an evidence of the Yuletide season. Ivy and laurel are conspicuous wherever one turns and the windows are being suitably trimmed by the decorators. The streets are crowded with merry shop pers and the stores are filled with those who just 'come in to lock- and others who are there to buy. All tEe places look attractive enough, but a window which perhaps commands more atten- tion than any other both because of its location and attractiyeness, is that of Dallas, the florist, situated in Ex- change place. Flowers liked by all, rich and poor, big and little, because of their fragrance and beauty, are in deed welcome in every house. The supply of the beautiful which Dallas has on hand is an extensive one and contains an unlimited variety. Potted plants and ferns can be had at mod crate prices and no one's pocketbook will be reduced materially by purchas- ing at this house pretty bouquet for a friend. Whether or not one intends to send flowers or plants as present, it is almost part of parents duty to see that a proper supply of the sweet scented blossoms are on the table Christmas morning. If person can not find what he wants at the Ex- change place store, it is only neces- sary for him to traved short distance further and procure that which he wishes in the store on Union street.

NEW YORK MATTRESS GO.

Thomas Edison, the noted inventor, sleeps but five hours out of every PA, and says he considers this sutfi- cient for anyone. Although this is considered rather a small amount, yet if one looks into it he will soon come to the conclusion that five hours of pleasant slumber on a fine, somnus inviting mattress, such as is made by the New York Mattress company, ns equal to if not better than double the amount on a bed which is. almost as hard as a board. The mattresses made by the New York Mattress con- pany are renowned for their elasticity as all who have purchased them are willing to swear to. Your comfort and health depend upon your mat tress. Success depends upon your con- fort and health, therefore your success depends upon your mattress, and it is a logical conclusion. A business man after lying all night on a mattress which is anything but comfortable, is in no condition to do q hard days work which his business cares demand Of him. Naturally it behooves wives and mothers when they yare, buying such an essential article as d mat tress, to get nothing but the best. It is unwise for them and shows a lack of intelligence to purchase a mat tress at . house where they known a poorer quality is to be found, just be- cause their other household effects are bought there. Good mattresses should be purchased direct from the factory and these are the kind sold by the New York Mattress company.

UPsoN & SINGLETON co.

1T one has any doubt about the make Of coat he can easily discover if it is a first class garment by going through the following test: Lay the coat flat on a table; if the collar then lies straight and true at the turn over line, and at the outer edge, one can assure himself that the coat has been put together properly. But if the col lar lies wrinkled and wavy toward the outer edge. when the turn over is straight then he knows that the ar- ticle is an inferior one.
 That is the test which the clothing CT the Upson x Singleton company will stand and in all cases tho tester Will find that the coat will fulfill inc conditions required in the first experi- ment This firm has big supply of top and rain coats, oyercoats and suits at prices which almost every buyer acknowledges are most reasoljahle.
