would b, impractical to go into detail

Under usual conditions the Christmas
shopping is most tedious one. The
greatest difficulty has been experienced
in selecting what is most acceptable
for presents. This year our merchants
have forestalled that difficulty, and
have extensively told the story of their
Christmas stocks, with suitable ilustra-
tons, in this issue of THE TRIBUNE,
and it will only be necessary for our
readers to give each advertisement

choose from, with plenty of time to
deliberate, the purchasing of holiday
goods, this year. will become a pleasure
and not trial.
Never before in the history of Fort
Pierce have our merchants purchased
such magnificent stocks of Christmas
goods, and never before have they
placed such extensive advertising in the
columns of any newspaper as appears
in THE TRIBUNE today and there are
ample reasons for both. Heretofore our
people have sent to distant cities for
the better class of holiday goods. This
wear our merchants decided that they
could get that trade by placing this
class of goods in stock. They have
brought the New York markets to Fort
Pierce this year, and are early telling
the people Of st. l.ucie county of this
fact through the columns of the only
medium that is read by ninety per cent
of the people of st. lucie county.
