The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1911-12-15

Do your Christmas shopping early
and avoid the rush. The early buy
ere get the cream and the pick of the
varied holiday assortment now so law
ishly displayed in the Nashville trade
emporiums. To say that Nashville is
a trade center would be putting II
mildly. The city "offers opportunity
in all lines of trade. Never before in
its history has Nashville enjoyed such
a phenomenal trade. Every merchant
YOU run across is beaming with
smiles. The stores are crowded and
the streets are thronged with early
Christmas shoppers. People from
nearby towns are coming in on every
train in order to get the benefit of
Nashville's splendid market. The
big stores are fairly alive with eager
buyers. Everything points to the
mcst remarkable season ever enjoyed
bv the merchants of the city. The
Globe representative was told by one
of Nashville's big merchants that the
colored people, too,, seemed to have
their share of this worlds goods, and
that their trade was much sought
! after, as most of them always had
the ready cash. This, he said, was
especially true of the Negro farmer
who is now considered an important
factor.
A visit to any of the business es-
adjustments will convince one OF the
rapid strides the city is making along
commercial lines. This holiday trade
is certainly an eye-opener and a rec
ord breaker. All past records have
been completely smashed. Nashville
is Just simply getting there in hur-
Iy. The crowds on the streets and
in the stores get larger as the holi-
days approach. We would advise all
housewivN to make their Christmas
purchases now as it will not pay to
delay in the matter. If you wait too
long you will be subjected to much
worry and discomfort by the immense
throng that is sure to be in evidence
lust previous to Christmas. If shop
ring is done now you have the choice
of the splendid assortment that Is
row on the counters for your inspec-
tion.
To the men, we would advise that
if you wish to make your wife or
sweetheart a present Christmas you
had better hurry, as the better grades
will be gobbled up by out-of-town buy
ers before the holidays. Our advice
to all is to go and do your Christmas
shopping today, as delays are always
to your disadvantage.
The H. G. Hill Grocery and Baking
Company operates 26 stores which
are full of good things to eat. We
would suggest that in placing your
order for your Christmas fruits, can
dies, etc, that you drop in one OF
Hills stores and inspect the tempt
ing good things that they offer. II
YOU are going to have big dining or
any kind of social function you can
not afford to miss going to Hills.
Cain Sloan Company, the Timothy
Dry Goods Store are live wires. The
holiday offerings are the best ever
shown in this city, the ladies are en-
raptured by the latest showings, their
broadcloths, silks, satins, null and
fannels are just splendid. Their
ladies' ready to wear tailor made gar
ments are veritable dreams OF lowell
ness Their show windows give one
but faint idea of the immensity OF
these institutions. The floor manager
at Cain-Sloan Company assured the
Globe man that they had the largest
and finest stock of goods ever in
their mercantile existence. Mr.. Ollvel
