POCOMOKE STORES
SPLENDID DEPOT OF
CHRISTMAS GOODS
Exceptional Facilities Offered
Buyer For Holiday Gifts.
Wares Of All Sorts.
PUBLIC CAN DO NO
BETTER THAN BUY HERE

i The Democrat desires to call the
attention of its readers to the adver-
ltising columns today, and to empha-
size the fact that Pocomoke is lack
ing in nothing, to make Christmas
shopping easy and attractive.
The claim has been frequently
made that Pocomoke excells or equals
in its mercantile department any town
on the Shore regardless of size. The
Democrat wants to keep this con-
stantly before the public eye ,and to
induce test of the claim so made.
The challenge is held out to all Shore
people to show where there is bet
ter place than here to meet the de-
mands of the Christmas buyer, or one
of any other part of the year.
Most all commodities constitute
\ good Christmas presents. II, nice
piece of furniture is wanted, where
is there better chance for choice
than at Hargis', Smullin's, or at Da-
Wis., These people keep exceptionally
fine quality, and style of goods, and
at prices to met all competition. At
these stores too, there are many
other articles eminently suitable for
holiday gifts.
b.sn .:sweets for the sweet" are
wanted, Clarke & Co., "A. H. Stevens,
and J. Carl Ross always keep on
hand fine assortment of eonfections,
/, and are specially fortified against
the demands of the immediate pies
ent. They can furnish you with all
sorts, from the hard candies to the
finest of boxed mixtures. Call on
them. ! st
If anything in the way of gents
, wearing apparel is looked for, POGO
moke is specially able to satisfy all
demands. r. J. Lambden & Son. /.
H. Merrill Co., D. Miller, H. w Cal
lahan & Sons, and w S. Schoolfield
& Co., can show as varied an assort-
ment as can be seen anywhere. They
can please the most fastidious e
For ladies' wear, Pocomoke is well
out in front for everything the wom4
an can choose. Hargis, Givarz, and
Cofman-Fisher Company keep id
stock everything needed, whether it
is to meet varied tastes, pocketbooks,
or seasons. e Their stores are wonder
full emporia for gifts, and as depart
ment stores they are depots for many
other articles suitable for people Of
all ages. Hargis and Coffman-Fisher
have beautiful display of toys for
the children, and the little folk are,
after all, most prominent during the
reign of Santa Claus. fs
If one wants to give friend use
full and ornamental auto accessory,
the garages are well supplied. A box
of cigars can be found at Clarke's,
Ross, and Stevens The poor can be
made happy by basket of groceries
from Crooks stores. The faithful
horse can be kept warm by blanket
from Cluff & Coulbourne's and no
doubt they have an article that your
best friend of the human family would
not refuse. The two banks think
little bank account for the boy or girl
to start Christmas Club is fine
thing and it is. One can remember
the living by bag or barrel of flour
from Eagle Mills; and the dead by an
appropriate marker from Howard's.
Mrs. John Bailey, of Onley, Va, and
Clarke & Co., are working together
to supply the community with flow
ers, and these in all thir simplicity
and beauty make most appropriate
remembrance. If piece of jewelry
pleases, Lloyd & Blaine, Clarke & Co.,
Rowe and William B. Sartorius the
jewellers, can supply the wants. In
short, there is no line but what can
b. found in Pocomoke City, and the
,p"blic have only to look to prove that
to be the case.
