BARRE MERCHANTS READY FOR
HOLIDAYS.

The great gift giving season Is at hand,
and prospective buyers are casting about
for articles which shall be pleasing to
their friends, and the friends are casting
about in turn for other friends. So the
Christmas season, with its New Years
windup. runs year after year. There is
no change, except that more and more
the buyers are cutting out the fol.de-rol
and purchasing the substantial articles
which are OF use rather than Of mere
ornament. There can be little fault
found with this change OF tactics, for IL
is along the lines Of reason. Therefore,
in accord with the revolution in buying,
the merchants of Barre have likewise
changed their stocks TO meet the peo-
pies wants. Go into the average store
in Barre this year, and you will find
the more staple articles set forth attrac-
lively, whereas in former years it was
often the giddy and the gaudy things
that were displayed to catch the eye
rather than to appeal to the common
sense Of the purchaser,
Stocks, too, that are very complete
can be found here in Barre, and the aver
age buyer makes a mistake by going to
any other trading center or by resorting
to the mail.ordor houses. Very rarely
do the townspeople forsake their own
merchants for the attractions found else
where; and at the same time Barre
stores are becoming more and more the
center of trade for this section OF Yer
mont. The growth is the natural result
Of courteous and square dealing. with
its accompanying satisfaction. This hol-
iday season the stores are filled with
their loads of Christmas gifts, IN addi-
tion to the regular stocks Of goods, and
Barre merchants merit large patron
