It is with great pleasure that we
announce to our patrons and the public
the opening of our new holliday line
in our new store room secured and
especially fitted for the purpose just
one door south Owing to the constant
increase in our business we have been
forced to find larger and more con
venient quarters to better serve our
patrons in the holiday trade Just think
of a whole store room filled from floor
to ceiling with good things for Christmas
presents It would be impossible for us
to describe each line but will say that we
have good things that will make suitable
presents for young and old and you will
need to pay us a visit before you can
form any idea of the variety you have
to select from Our goods are all
marked in plain figures with one price
to all and that the lowest
We invite you all to come If you
are ready to buy come if you never buy
come come anyway
Yours for the holiday business
