BROOKS HOUSE PHARMACY.

The time-honored joke about cigars
bought for a husband by loving wife
and subsequently used for kindling wood
loses its application in consideration of
the fact that there is practical certainty
of pleasing the most particular smoker
if the cigars are bought at the right place.
The experience of G. E. GRAHAM, proprie-
tor of the Brooks House Pharmacy, in
selling cigars, and his connection with the
National Cigar Stands Co., one of the larg-
est manufacturers in the country, make
this store good place to go for smoking
materials for Christmas presents. Other
lines carried here are the famous Apollo
chocolates, large assortment of toilet
articles, brushes, mirrors, utility bags.
The location in the Brooks House block is
a convenient one.

o, J. PRATT.

Stores may come and stores may 60
but the store of o. J. Pratt seems destined
to continue for years to come as a place
where popular, staple Christmas gifts OF
absolute reliability can be bought at prices
to meet the demand for economy which
is evident in certain quarters this year.
It's worth a lot to any firm to have the
reputation which o. j. Pratt enjoys for
giving great values; it means that people
will go there to shop with feeling of
assurance that whatever they buy is worth
the price. Mr.. Pratt is offering at pres
ent an exceptional line of ladies suits and
coats of the most approved styles and
his dress goods department is filed with
excellent material. As usual his fur de-
partment contains wealth of beautiful
skins made into garments by the most ex-
perienced fur workers. The store also
contains a vast array of Christmas tow
els, lunch cloths, napkins, doilies and a
variety of odd pieces in Mexican and
japanese drawn work, not to mention
neckwear, gloves, hosiery,
leather goods, shell goods and toilet arti.

MORAN AND COMPANY.

Last Saturday Moran 4 Co. started a
special mark down sale of rugs and car
pets, brass and iron beds, bedding,
touches, draperies, window shades, pic
lures, chamber suits, etc. This sale will
give intending purchasers an opportunity
to buy for the holidays at greatly re-
duced prices. Many of the lines carried
by Moran 4 Co. are attractive as holiday
gifts because of their indispensable value
in the home. Last simmer this firm clos.
ed out practically all of the immense
stock of wooden furniture and is deyoting
its facilities entirely to carpets, rugs,
beds, window shades and similar lines.
There are left in stock several desirable
bargains in pictures and chamber suits
which will be closed out at very low
prices. A new rug rack has recently been
installed which not only makes it an adj
ditional pleasure for the statesmen to show
large rugs, but enables the customer to
examine them easily and completely.
Whether buying for presents or for your
own home you cannot afford to fail to
visit Moran 4 Co. in the Ullery block,

Brattleboro has a number of stores
that might properly be called Depart
ment Stores" which during the past few
years have added new lines and separated
the different kinds of goods from one an.
other and have needed more floor space
to accommodate their growing business.
The store of j. E. Mann is one of these.
In former days, this would have been
called a dry goods store Today this name
is inadequate. Besides all kinds of drv
goods, so-called, j. E. Mann carries a
complete stock of ready-to-wear suits and
coats for women and children. fine as
sortment of furs, and Christmas novelties
galore. Dolls and Teddy, Bears dwell
here in peace and harmony amid framed
pictures, toilet articles of all kinds, post
card albums, Christmas neckwear in
boxes, handkerchiefs, holiday stationery
shell goods, jewelry, picture books and
story books. The shopper who is pressed
for time and has to provide gifts for the
whole family from Baby to Grandfather
can obtain suitable presents for all in a
store of this kind. 1t would be impos.
sible to go into details as to assortment
and prices here, but the advertisements
which have been printed in the Reformer
turing the past two weeks give an i'm
nense fund of this information. Mann's
