Ii is doubtful if another city the size of
Palatka in all these United States can
make bcttcr-morc varied and beauti
ful-showing of useful and ornamental
articles suitable for the Holiday trade
than this little city OF Palatka, Florida.
Now, there is no element of "hot air.
in that statement. This has been year

portant particular. The past several hol

take a look with us.
There is the Gay Bros. table supply
store. If there is an article for the XmaS
dinner that is not 10 be had in that store,
we challenge you to name il. A Fifth

with the single possible exception of
Mumm's extra dry and Other liquids.
Look into the Kcnnerly Hardware
store and see the array of articles calcu
lated TO bring Joy into the life of the
wife who keeps the house. Look at the
guns and fine stock of fishing tackle and
other sportSmen's goods.
When ii comes to toilet articles the
array of such in the stores of Ackerman

that for hats has everything that the most
iaStidious dresser could desire.

Sixth street has magnificent stock OF
house furnishing goods. He can furnish
every room in the house from the kit
chen to "my lady'S boudOir" and in a
manner TO please prince or clerk.

that is so attractive that some good men
are afraid TO enter his big Storc-afraid
his low prices and easy paying plan

corner of Fifth street. The ladies
know about the pretty notions and
ready-to wear goods she usually has on
hand. Well she has prepared special
display for these days that will please

L. A. Smiths candies are equal TO,
and most people say, ''much better"
than Huyler'S or the finest French OF
New York made confections. A pound
package of Smiths fine chocolates and
creams, or some of his fancy boxed bon
bon'S would be acceptable to any man,
woman or child. This store is the
pride of Palatka in its line and leads in
the candy trade of Florida.
