GIFT that holds always

A GIFT that holds always a
~ pleasant memory of the giver
"A is the hall clock with its sweet
toned chimes, which mark the passing
of the hours. And now that these
clocks are made to fit in apartments
and accommodate themselves as we'll
to the low-ceilinged bungalow as to
the high-ceiled rooms of the coun-
try house, grandfather clock
makes a practical as well as useful
gift. The simple dignity of colonial
furnishings has an appeal all its
own, and no home furnished in the
colonial manner is really complete
without its hall clock. You will
want to see the clocks at the store
of Bailey, Banks G. Biddle Co. and
hear their wonderful chimes, if for
no other reason than that you. will
be viewing remarkable collection
of colonial reproductions.
TF YOU haven't already acquired
the gift-basket habit it would be
wise to begin this Christmas, for
never have there been such truly
lovely gift-baskets of fruit as there
arc this year at the store of Henry
r. Hallowell & Son, Broad street
below Chestnut. III wager that
there are mighty few people in this
city, or any other, for that matter
(and you know that Hallowell's gift
baskets are being delivered perfectly
to other cities), who wouldn't be
overjoyed upon the receipt of such
delectable present. Gorgeously hand
painted baskets bearing delicious
burdens of Belgian Hothouse Grapes,
Japanese Persimmons, Pears,
Oranges and other luscious fruits,
fairly make you long to give some
one as much joy as you yourself ex
perience i'll looking at them.
