THE UifljpiK
Don't delay your
Christmas
ig
V
Do it now while assortments are complete and
choice greatest. Many lines of holiday goods cannot
be duplicated. Many of them are imported and or
ders must be placed by us as much as six months in
advance. Last summer when the weather was swel
tering hot our buyers made their selections for the
thousand and one novelties that are here now, ready
for final owners.
Take your pick of these before the rush is on.
You will get better choice and much more satisfaction.
You can rest assured that you will see the wisdom of
this suggestion during the last week before Christ
mas if you do not see it now.
Bric-a-Brac and other
items of interest
Bohemian and green glass
ware stamped "in gold
vases and cups of every
description Disque ng
ures and small ornaments in profusion the newest
designs and coloringsthe best and most desirable
goods. Foreign markets have been ransacked for just
such things as you will want for this Christmas tide.
Immense assortments in shaving and manicure
sets collar and cuff boxes comb and brush sets
handkerchief and fan boxes.
39c to $6.98.
Beautiful novelties in jewel cases, large and
small, some open and others with lids, all of them
with good lacquered trimmings,
75c to $3.50.
Photograph albums in plush or fancy leather.gold
