LANSBURGH & BRO. announce that
they have made extraordinary prepara-
tions for the holiday trade, that all their
purchases are on display, that the stocks
will never be, fresher, that prices cannot
be lower, and that as nothing is to be
gained by waiting it is advisable for
Christmas shoppers to make their pur-
chases now, rather than to be jostled
and hurried later on.
Women's suits are way below regular
prices. and the asortments were never
so varied. Every garment is in the new
est cloths. in the newest shades and the
newest cut and, finish. Other sugges-
tions for holiday giving include dress
lengths of dainty materials, waist pat
terms, hosiery for men, women and chill
dren, gloves, linens, umbrellas. pictures,
perfumes, rugs. neckwear, shirts. silk
suspenders underwear. silk embroidered
white flannel skirt patterns and every
style of dress goods from home and for
cign looms.
THE PALAIS ROYAL publishes a
catalogue of Christmas presents on an
other page of this issue that is one of
the most comprehensive ever seen in Il
by a host of anxious seekers of presents.
and the problems Of what to give need
no longer pcrpicX unless indeed the suE-
E"stlons prove so many that new sort
Of pcrplCNtty may arise.
The suggestion made In the Palais
Royal page is good onc-that the list
be preserved and used as a guide for the
whole household. 1t will be noticed that
many Inducements are presented to those
making early selections, Including the Of
fer to suitably box and lay aside any
article for future delivery, and the Civ
ing of special discount to those call
ing during tho less busy morning hours.
When the thought comes of the hurry
and worry of seeking presents from the
devastated stocks incidental to the
nearer approach of Christmas. and when,
already. the afternoon ovcrcrowding is
only too painfully apparent. it would
seem that only the hopelessly thought
less will overlook the advantages of
shopping early in the month and early
in the day.
