A Sale Of Toys

The biggest and best display in the city Nearly
year ago We determined to make this seasons toy
business the greatest in the history of the store We
planned for it-hrst by buying more toys than ever
before, and second by securing new up-o-date play
things that few other stores would have. 1t would
be folly to attempt to describe half the wonderful
little creations that here displayed, or even to
enumerate them. Bring the little folks, they will be
delighted and you will be able to decide what to
get them Take elevator to third floor.
