Christmas Tiddings
Never before have we had such prosperity. People
are ready to buy and have the cash to pay for their purcllasc
and consequently the merchant is confronted with a scarcity
of merchandise. It is not a question of price but a question
of supplying the trade. Every
mechanic is overworked and we urge our patrons to Shop
Early for Christmas. The engravers for your Ivory are
working overtime now. By buying at once you have a lar
er assorlmcnt for your selection, jt is easier to have three
weeks in which to pay for it and you eliminate the probability
of not getting what you'" want.
