To-morrow evening we close at six also, in accord with our policy of not keeping the store open Christmas Eve. To-morrow, up until six o'clock, is therefore your final opportunity of selecting merchandise for Christ mas gifts. Though our holiday stocks have diminished considerably, six large floors in a store such as this, must at all times be well stocked with merchandise suitable for gifts at all seasons of the year. As one admires the great quantities of beautiful mer chandise on every floor, counter, show case and shelf, it does not seem possible that we are within a day of Christmas, and at the close of the busiest holiday sea son in the history of the store. So vou may rest assured that remaining stocks in re-erve have been put on display for the final day of th * holiday rush, and almost every department has spe cial reductions on many articles that is better disposed of now at a sacrifice than to have soiled or broken be fore next Christmas.
