The J. F. Pierce store is in full
Christmas attire now. The inducement
for early shopping should prove strong.
The satisfaction Of having many little
courtesies and attentions shown by the
sales force-in finding gifts you want
in not being rushed--all of these have
proved the wisdom of early shopping.
Not only lowest prices on hats and
trims at the ID. w. Adams Co. but also
free trimming during the millinery
clearance from December to 18th on
all hats and trims purchased here.
This advantageous buying opportunity
offers the lowest prices we have ever
quoted on hats and fancy trimmings"
Another value which may appeal to
many is 10 dozen silk waists placed on
sale for the first time today at $l9S
If you are thinking of having Christ
mas greeting cards engraved, G. W.
Quimby would greatly appreciate early
orders. Some unusually attractive
cards are obtainable and for simplicity
in giving this way beats all methods.
