THE PLACE TO BUY
CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
Welier's Famous JeweIry Palace Pref.
ty al a Picture.

1t wonld be difficult to find in the
United States a more brilliant display
of beautiful and useful articles suitable
for Christmas holiday presents than are
now on exhibition at Messrs. A. Weller
q Co.'S famous Jewelry Palace in this
city.
Here you a not only find something
appropriate for gifts to friends and
loved ones, but the prices are within
the reach of all.
The fact that this popular firms ex-
~penses-rent, etc.,-are much less than
the city establishments, enables The
Palace to sell these fine goods at least
% per cent. cheaper than its city com
petitors a possibly afford to offer
them.
The line of holiday goods Messrs.
Weller & Co. have on display is too ex.
tensive to %enumerate in this article,
hence the public is invited to visit The
Palace and inspect them. MI. Weller
and his corps Of assistants will take
pleasure in showing you the many nov
elites they have, and il you don't know
axeetay what you want to buvf for a
suitable present they will be glad to
aid you with valuable suggestions along
that line.

Why go grouchy through the day?
