A Merry Christmas to Yor.

The Manning Grocery Company in
! this issue have its annual full page
advertisement which the readers Of
The Times would do we'll to ponder
oyer and make such notes from it as
will aid them in their Christmas shop
ping. This concern boasts of being
caterers to the public, they do not wait
until they have calls for goods before
they fill up their stock, but they study
the wants and needs of the trading pub
lie and then End the best markets 70
supply these wants and needs. Take a
trip to their store ahd we venture that
you will concede there is not better
appointed establishment in the State.
What has built up this magnificent
business? 1t was the close attention to
their work, and their systematic meth
DDS, not only so, they are live wires
who are not content for the trading
public to come to them to inquire if
they have the goods, but they 60 aheao
to seek for the best and then let the
people know they have what they want
Not only has this concern a full and
complete stock OF everything to tempt
the appetite, and to make the house
keeper happy, but they also carry many
articles of adornment for the home,
they keep things which bring eladness
to the hearts of friends, and they are
up-to-date with all of their novelties.
It would be hard for US to describe
their stock of goods, their store is q
veritable emporium where everything
first class can be bought.
The best way to get an idea OF what
the Manning Grocery has to offer is 20
read the advertisement and then make
a personal inspection. The force in
their store is an intelligent body of
Young men who will take delight in
pointing out and showing the goods.
and directing attention 70 many things
which will aid the housekeeper in
making selections for "big dining"
when the college boys and girls with
their friends come home for the holi-
days. These people are hustling all OF
the time, and if there is anything that
can be found in any market in this
country which will please their trade
they get it and take the chances Of
selling. 1t is this spirit OF energy,
together with the courteous attention,
and the quick delivery which has given
them a reputation that is as valuable
from business viewpoint as the goods
on their shelves. Get your pantries
ready to be filed up for the holidays,
and if there is anything which from
oversight they have not in stock all
you have to do is TO mention it and it
will be forthcoming as fast as the wires
and express can bring them. Did we
undertake to enumerate what can be
seen at the Manning Grocery it would
take up more space than they are using
in their advertisement, therefore, take
il from Us that there is no establishment
anywhere better prepared to please the
trade as to quantity, quality and price.
