In 1917 player pianos were purchased to the utter capacity of the player piano manufacturers. The player piano is the foremost, dominating piano of today. It has found its place filled a void in peo ple's desires. In 1920 the "shortage-' of player; pianos is bound to lie pronounced. If you are contemplating the purchase of a player piano, we urge you to go to the Redewill Music company now. We urge you to go because we know that there you will get the kind of instrument that will bring you satis faction, and that you will be protected to the best of their ability against high prices.

The green visor gives the lens a smart touch and is satisfactory in the matter of light which Is most essential to the car driver. A LOT of you are rushing a.bout like I mad these few remaining weeks I before Christmas, so we are going to conserve time for you by listing a number of articles which might help a wee bit. Go to the Corner Drug- Store. There ask for the Kastman Kodak for which they have the authorized agency, and if a kodak is not to your fancy, turn your attention to the remarkable collection of Parisian ivory. If you do not care to give a set. an ld piece or two will always be a w ad dition to milady's dressin Me. A secret we'd whisper is 11 ev.-. woman adores perfumes and powders, and the Corner Drug store has them from the laboratories of the finest per fumes, both in this country and France. If it must be an impersonal gift there is candy. Whitmans, Johnstons, Browns. Ounthers, the manufacturers of sweets that best please.

She Is called to the door and, parked In front of her house, she sees the closed car that has been her dream since she first fancied herself a car owner. The iM.Tnftl.iU i -a hfian flAtiVArprl hv the Ferguson-Keeler company just at the right moment and her day started with the Joy that will now be her's every day. Whether it is a coupe or seuan. a six or an eight cylinder "Olds" its delivery is assured by Ferguson-Keeler despite the scarcity of closed cars. Here are only a few of the many good nniTiTD nf tTnn TtMa"--ti nil season windows. Interior lights, adjustable heater and double vision rain shield I which combine to make it the car of j r. The six cvlindor coupe or sedan i are priced at $2,295, while the eight closed car is $3.3.3. COLVE the perp'-'xing what to give someone ficult to please r who everything irnagitmble by problem of; who is dif han nearly giving her silk lingerie. The opportunities at . Korrlcks for choosing a distinctly use ful gift with that added charm of lux ury that makes it doubly welcome are many. There a-re many little things of one's wardrobe that always need re plenishing and the gifty one can be Just a bit nicer than we ordinarily Huy for oar own use. Lovely soft crepe of smartly simple design or the more elaborately georgette and creep com binations while even sheer chiffons of rainbow hues have been utilized in lashioning undergarments. There are !sO many styles to select from that it requires a buyer of discrimination to choose a pink, blue or la.vender with a touch of all three colors perhaps In the ribbon or rose bud motif. A MONO brings the gifts that there is none Christmas tha is so generally recognized as the box of sweets. We'll wager that candy is the most popular offering of the hour and we would have you know that there is .i great difference in candles. The most delicious according to our way of thinking are the Chocolate Shop sweets handled by The Busy Drug store. The Los Angeles candy manu facturer has mastered the art and the clever wooden boxes in which the chocolates are packed alwa-ys wins a word of admiration. THERE is nothing that reflects the . taste of the individual more than the type of stationery she uses. The McNeil company which can always be relied upon in having that which is correct this vear appears to have se cured even a more attractive stock I than usual. Cranes linen lawn is featured by McNeil's and nothing could le more clever. Wo liked, too. the smart letter paper with colored lined envelopes which also comes In correspondence-note paper and correspon--- cards. "X7"ITII a Navajo silver smith con sidered the finest manufacturer on the reservation working exclu sively for the Graves Indian Shop it is offering quite the most artistic and beautiful jewelry of the kind we have ever seen. The most wonderful Navajo bracelets of original design are being wrought -by the Indian Jeweler, some with elaborate turquoise settings, others which rely on carving alone for beauty are being turned out by the artist. Rings, pins and other bits of hand hammered silver are being manu factured right in the shop and are attracting no end of attention. "If the Indian makes it the Store of a Thousand Gifts has it," according to the well known slogan. OOMKHTINT. that will be a gift for the year and- the years to come and that's a camera. Snap a picture of someone for whom you care take I a scene you may some day wisn to ! recall its a gift for you at home and while on your travels. The Adams Pharmacy handles the Eastman and Ansco cameras. Of interest to Christ mas, shoppers will be other offerings of this pharmacy its leather goods, its tourists writing sets and Its delicious candies. T?On CH is the RISTMAS and afterwards practical way in which to look at the holiday, especially when it comes to gift giving. The Palace Hardware and Arms company has Just such gifts to offer in their hot point electrical appliances. They have the Universal articles the percolators, among" other wanted things. We noted also Thermos bottles and carving sets and most desirable casseroles of etched glass. YXTHEN every dollar counts as it does during the holiday season, when one wishes to remember this one and that with a gift, it is well to do your purchasing where the dollar goes farthest. The Sun Drug Store, the only independent drug store in the city is the place to buy. With its cut rate policy it Is even selling for less than th cut rate drug stores on the coast. The public is fast learning that this is true and it will find it so in gifts as well as in drugs. AF infinite variety are the offerings of the Dorris-IIeyman Furniture company where a maze of wonderful gift suggestions confront the shopper. People planning to make Christmas gifts of the lasting sort will naturally luni their attention to the most de sirable of all gifts and we have no hesitancy in stating silver. Chests of Community silver which has recognized value are to be found there and odd pieces In both plated and sterling sil ver, so that the gift might range from something quite elalorate to "just a remembrance.'' TOR your mother, your sisters, your i cousins and your aunts as well as those others you will remember with good wishes a.nd a gift you should do your shopping aff the Boston Store. There you will find something for everyone, from the tiny gift to the one which means more to you than any other. With only a few more shopping days we suggest that you take your list and go to the big' daylight shop and check off something from each depart ment fine linen handkerchiefs. s smart beaded bag. gloves, silk hose, gift jewelry. Parisian Ivory or perhaps something from the silk lingerie col lection for which the Boston Store is noted. The new shawlette Is popular just now while a fur would delight any woman. There are gifts for men a well. Christmas footwear including ""Pi"-"1. -- necKwear. nain robes everything for the man In fact while a veritable toyland is the base ment with Its wealth of offerings for the tiny folk. rPHK time is fast approaching when A everyone who owns a- motor car will have to equip it with a 1920 license. This must be done in accordance with the law and yet a license is no more necessary than the insurance policy on the car and it rests entirely with you whether or not you secure it. To pro tect yourself against " ever occurring accidents we would suggest that you take the matter up with the Arizona Mutual Insurance company. The three mutual companies handled by Carl Anderson have grown stupendously dur ing the time of their existence, owing to the fact that mutual insurance has been found not only as safe and affords the same protection as the stock com pany hut also affords a mutual bond of interest that ties policy holders closely together. The cost of mutual Insur ance is less, owing to the economical method of operating. There are no high paid executives nor high commis sions to be paid. Each policy holder is a booster. TT MAKES a world of difference if one has his digestion. Ever stop to think what a very great deal digestion has to do with disposition and how we need to have both in good order on Christmas? If your teeth are "out of order" your digestive system .will be In the same condition and your holi day spoiled. What pleasure is there if you are experiencing pain? Before you are in real trouble avert it. Make n appointment with Dr. Morrison. Skilled workmanship is the watchword of the sanitary system dentist. . A S WE all know electricity has played a very important part in the .pro gress of civilization, and In the ad vancement of living standards.- It has made it possible for the housewife to perform her tasks in a fraction of the time of former days, and of all the electrical conveniences the one taking first place is the washing machine the Thor. The New State Supply and Fixture company has Just secured a shipment of. SO Thors with the new swing wringer the type not yet re ceived on the California coast. The Thor has too many good points to enumerate, but it is important to re member that the waehing machine of this bra ml can be had with either a copper or galvanized bottom. A prac tical and worthwhile Christmas gift. "DRIMFUL of Christmas possibilities is Hyder's. There you will find ev erything a man would desire, ties of most attractive coloring, design and fabric, silk socks of exceptional qual ity, traveling bags, and collar boxes, smoking jackets and comfortable lounging1 robes, while women's wants can be satisfied with furs just received for holiday gifts. The grace and charm of a fur invariably lends at traction to any woman. Hyder's have modish furs that range in price from $25 to $100. A RE YOU preplexed as to what to give this Christmastlde If so go to Friedman's and select a jewel, a silver article or a bit of crystal. TTERE it is again thft Christmas sea son. There are always a number of people who find it very difficult to determine the gifts that would most please. If they would only decide to go to Talbot and Hubbard's they would find any number of acceptable offer ings for both men and women. There are clever carving sets, attractive cas seroles, useful percolators and a full stock of ever wanted aluminum ware. Pocket knives, guns and all .sorts of cutlery might also be included in the suggestion list. "CXCEL."LINO in delivery as well as in every other feature, the Chev rolet is here. There is no question of Christmas . delivery. Bert .O. Brown assured us when we inquired whether he could absolutely promise a car for Christmas Mr. Brown said he could not only guarantee holiday delivery but could give Immediate delivery if desired. The Chevrolet does not need recommendation you know it and if you do not we suggest, if considering a car. that you Investigate this make. The 490 model is priced at $860. while the babv grand model is being offered for $1450. TyHEN the Phoenix Title and Trust company moved Into its Adams street quarters three yearsago not a few of the directors disapproved of the plan of taking over such a large es tablishment and suggested that it be made half the size. Taking the view that in ten years they would have to enlarge the offices, the entire floor was kept. It was a mighty lucky thing that was done for the place is much too congested as it Is. The growth of the institution indicates the growth of the business which demon strates the satisfaction which it has given. THE APACHE HOTEL, will have, we 0iare told, the highest type of plumbing equipment on the market. The bath tubs will be of vitreous chlnaware rather thrt enameled iron, all the fixtures. In fact, representing the best of modern plumbing. This type of goods is to be found in the city today on the floor of George Hage man's show room on Second and Adams ureet. His is the only shop In the state to carry this line and we would ask you to give a moment at least In passing to a certain bath tub there weighing some eight hundred pound. "TVTACK GARDNER, diamond broker, guarantees a saving of from 35 to 50 per cent on all diamonds purchased from him. TJO-HO. THE holidays are here, ""nearly here. It is high old time or ie we had our Christmas lists made out. 1 ne list should be headed with "her" and opposite her name should, be written "Oakland Sensible Six. most moderate ly priced, highest-valued six-cylinder automobile on the market." It Is a gift the whole family will enjoy the year round, and many delightful times will recall the happy thought that prompt ed of an Oakland Sensible Six for the Christmas of 1019. The car is $1,295 delivered. The Oakland Arizona Sales company is located at 306 .North Cen tral avenue. T0 NOT be a seeker after uncommon gifts If you are postlve that the gifts of the other sort would bring greater pleasure. After all. why fuss and fume over what to give a man when you are positive that what he enjoys most of all Is a good pmoke. Whether it be Just tobacco, or cigars or cigarettes, you will find the kind he likeks at Raswitz. He would much prefer his favorite brand of "smokes" to some little fad or fancy for which he has not a hit of use in the world. If you prefer to give him something lasting it can also be purchased from Baswitz where they have most at tractive silver cigarette cases with boxen to correspond, pipes of every variety and good looking leather cigar cases and tobacco pduches. , OLOSELY marked is the stock of B. A. Funk, who handles high grade watches, diamonds and jewelry- I -"3 Tausca and Richelieu pearls are also to be found at Funk's, which Is located on Washington street near First avenue. TN SPEAKING of Christmas gifts for men, one would quite naturally turn to a man's store where one is completely surrounded by the things he likes. Goldbergs store, for instance is throbbing with the spirit of Yule tide. The store is alive with every conceivable thing a man could wear, not to mention the many little nice ties that bring such Christmas cou- fort. Come to think of it, a wardrobe trunk is one thing he usually doesn't buy for himself. An Indestructo ward robe trunk, then, is an ideal sugges tion. They are practical, - convenient and best of all, they last a lifetime. "T0 YOU realize that Christmas is just around the corner? That there will not be r ny more days left, in which to mak our selection leisurely. Give heetl to our advice and buy the gift sensible, selecting it from the stock of the Hoeppner Electric & Ma- cnine company. .Mate it a merry Christmas the year round by giving electrical devices. Here is a partial list from this shop from which to choose: Universal electric toasters, radiators, four heat grills, waffle irons, chafing dishes, percolators, irons and heating pads. pURESIDE and slippers are synnono mous and every member of the fam ily from baby to granddad, will enjoy a pair from the Nelson Shoe copany. The house slippers, including "comfys," come in all desired shades, while satin mules and boudoir slippers in satin are among the special holiday stock. The Nelson Shoe company also fea tures Phoenix hosiery. TF YOU really mean to be practical this Christmas why not give the au tomobile owner of the family automo bile insurance? The Arizona Fire In surance company has the very insur ance you want. Go to the home com pany and have it explain its full cov erage policy on collision, property damage, theft and fire. Consider this. If one should attempt to carry their own insurance they would have to compound their premiums at 8 per cent for 25 years to have accumulated enough to pay the total loss under any one of the four coverages lost. mHE CAREFUL housewife will have "L oqe name on her list. She will do her marketing surely at the Bon Ton Market, where prices lower than else where prevail. Service excellent and cuts of meat desirable. "DARTICULARL.Y striking in beauty and workmanship are the boots we noticed at Diehl's smart colored ones, which add so much to the completeness of the costume. They come in grays, browns, and field mouse, with both military and Louis heel. The prices range from $11.50 to $20.00. AT SURPRISINGLY low prices the """Blasingame nursery is offering its cut flowers and ferns and its nursery stock, including outdoor plants and fruit trees. For Christmas it will of fer poinsettia, primrose, sycleman and other flowering plants. The town quarters Is on Van Buren street and First avenue, opposite the postoffice. The telephone number is 1494. TF YOU are a clever woman you will --keep up the standard of the home even during the strenuous shopping days that precede Christmas. You will see to it that only Pettids bread is served at your table. Order your Christmas fruit cake now and do not weary your self by baking a cake which can be sur passed by a professional baker like Pettid. QNE MAY think of a thousand gifts 'for the home and not one of them quite so appropriate to the peason or so uncommon as a lamp, so by all means let a stately, beautiful lamp radiate with the spirit of Christmas, the fine subdued glow of modern' lighting In every home. The very lamp o' holiday cheer we found at Ford-Levy's, where they have a charm ing collection worthy of every gift giver's special Interest. Lovely floor lamps with unusual shades as well as desk and table lamps. Then those other gifts that create a place of their own in the home niche that nothing else can fill because through season after season they stand as a reminder of someone's love and care. We mean "gifty" fucniture a eleven desk, per haps; a comfy Morris chair, or smart reed and tapestry furnishings for the living room. TF YOU want to see her eyes sparkle and dance with pleasure when she opens her Christmas parcel, be sure that it contains a box of Donofrio's Camelback chocolates. The Camel backs are the chocolates supreme, but for the girl back east we would sug gest another of Donofrio's manufacture his famous cactus candy. She will marvel at the delicious sweet made from the desert plant which s?e en joys as a candy and which l-.as the interest of "something different." Even the box in which it is packed is novel and brings a. picture to her mind of the great American desert. rPHERE is no denying that the real home builder is the woman. She may be the wife or the mother who is making her influence felt or she may be the girl who is unconsciously cre ating the home idea in "his" mind. Most men are inclined to procrastinate but a woman centers her life around her home and urges him, in one way or another, to sa-ve and scheme for the ideal life in the little home of their own. The most opportune time to commence to build is now and the an nouncement would be the best of all gifts to her on Christmas morning. Then take your building plans to the experts of the J. D. Halstead Lumber company. Five Points, for aid and ad vice. There is no shortage of material you will find despite reports of the contrary. The Halstead Lumber com pany is able to supply all demands having purchased months ago with the knowledge of the building boom which was certain. TTOW much simpler a thing it is to make a Christmas purchase for a man than a woman. For her you shop for him you buy, going directly to Hanny's where everything in mer chandise suitable for gift giving can be procured It was a genius who bought for Hanny's holiday trade, an efficiency expert who ignored the all too common "gifty" things but ad hered strictly to the rule of buying practical rather than "freakish" type of goods. For instance take their line of bath robes which is exceptionally com plete and of so many different kinds that every taste can be satisfied. Crossett shoes bench made offer an other suggestion of worth and thefl there's the life time gift luggage. While suit cases come as high as $".0 and $60 people should not get the idea that a, very good bag or suit case can not be had at far less cost. We noticed very satisfactory one for $15, $18 and $20 while there we also found number less useful things in smaller bags and collar cases for just a, few dollars. Luxite socks, silk shirts, Kaiser neck wear, leather coats and vests, sweat ers, Pullman slippers are a few other items to be considered while Dent's gloves from the light dress at $3.50 to the more expensive full line gauntlet for motoring would be acceptable we feel sure. Hats also will be popular Christmas gifts especially the heavy velour which are priced at $15. A PERSONAL gift is not always .permissible, and yet there are just scores of folk we wish to remember on Christmas, especially this year when we are to have a good old fashioned holiday. We have returned to the good days of yesteryear and are pre paring to make this the happiest and merriest Christmas this old world of ours has ever known. We are going to give and give and give, and to some we would give a simple gift a box of candy. But we wish the candy to be the very best in the land and will se lect it as we would a Jewel. The Cen tral Pharmacy, then, is- the place to go. There they have Whitmans. John stons, Browns Ragtime and Ci'anes de licious candies. . TAEFEND your home by roofing It with Johns-Manville Asbestos Roof ing, which is so fire-resistant that it gives full protection, even when laid over inflammable roofing construction. The Phoenix Roofing company, T. J. Smith, manager, which handles the Johns-Manville article, advises you to select your roofing, no matter what the building, with a clear sense of fire danger and with knowledge that it will endure against time and weather. TXJTHAT is Christmas without candy? It simply isn't Christmas at all. There is every kind of candy you could think of packed in every con ceivable manner at the Chocolate Shop, where it is delightful to have luncheon these busy shopping days. CJO MUCH' can be expressed in flow 7 ers and the Donofrio floral de partment has grasped the " Christinas spirit in its floral offerings. The very atmosphere of the place is Christmasy when there is n bit of Delaware holly about, or perhaps, the California holly is perferred either of which cats be obtained at Donofrio's. Poinsettias in pots, pans and baskets will also feature their Christmas flowers, while all winter blossoms carnations, roaes. vioiets, choainthemums and the more delicate bloom will be offered. Potted plants and ferns, as' well for holiday and before holiday delivery. - A BANK offers many suggestions for one who is puzzled in regards to Christmas gifts. Nothing .will appeal to a child more than a savings ac count. At the same time the child will be taught the saving habit.

LD SPANISH combs give a, dis tinguished appearance to the ma trons and an alluring charm to the pretty maid. The combs, in jet, most difficult to secure, are to be found at the De Marvel institute.

Make Christmas happy the year around with an Eden washing machine. - . -- TT'EER AND SM ALLEY, in both their Phoenix and Mesa stores, have pro vided for the holiday season with a large stock of Kimball pianos, player pianos and phonographs, in addition to which the Mesa store is carrying an extra stock of Columbia phonographs and Solo Concerto player pianos. This is the first introduction of this player in the valley and the first reputable player sold for anywhere near the price. The instrument is made by the H. S. Bay company of Chicago. Mr. Kerr recently made a business trip to Los Angeles where he purchased a large stock of ukuleles, banjos, guitars, violins, cornets, bugles, accordians and in fact all small musical instruments especially for the holiday trade. The big musical feature of Christmas is music and music of all kinds is ob tainable from Kerr & Smalley. The usual easy terms will be observed for Christmas shoppers. T-TAD YOU thought of the Collings Vehicle and Hardware company as a holiday shop? The men know .about it, of course, and you women should, too, who are looking for penknives and scissors and things of that calibre. Rifles, shotguns and ever so many wanted gifts, such as you had not thought of are there. rPHKRE will be 110 end of festivities during the Christmas season. In anticipation of the gaiety which Yule tide brings, prepare your home to meet the demands placed upon it. There's a guest at luncheon, or dinner, some few drop in for tea or a late supper, any if your linens are not quite as you would have them you will be an noyed. There is always one sure way of having the table cloth or doilies just so, and .that is by having them laundered at " the Arizona Laundry. The work is excellent and the linen as glossy as the day it was purchased. There is no wear and tare on the linens in the way they are handled by the Arizona Laundry. T")AVID CASE, 73 years old, of Cherry Valley, 111., probably holds no records for flights against time at De Palma-like speed over prepared race courses, but one record he probably does hold is that for the longest tour in a car driven by a person of his age Mr. Case has returned from a 4600 mile motor journey to Florida and re turn. He drove his Franklin car, him self, every mile of the way, and claims he hadn't the slightest fatigue to mar the pleasure of the trip, no matter how long a mileage he selected for any given day's run. mHE JOYOUS holidays are almost - here and with the approach of Christmas has come the usual call for the delicacies of the season. No Christmas or New Year's feast would be quite complete without the olive. Ask your grocer for Munson's Mam moth or Jumbo grades You'll have no cause to regret your choice. TXTE HAVE told you before that the vv gift ideal for Christmas is the home. Now the thing is to put the construction in the hands of a reliable man.

Their market, you know, is an innovation something different from the usual run of ment markets. White finish prevails throughout, and cleanliness together with quality and excellent service are the main features. The public gen erally appreciates this fact and every da' during the business hours crowds frequent this market. Tribolet's also conduct the most mod ern abattoir in the state of Arizona. Shipments are made to the four cor ners of the state daily. Their plant, located as it is on the Arizona East ern right-of-way, furnishes the best possible facilities for the correct hand ling of meat products.

Visitors are always welcome at their plant at Portland station, six milQS due east from Phoe nix. fJiHE RETAIL markets of the rhoe nix Wholesale Meat company ren der admirable service to the public.

Ask yours. rpHE DRESSING GOWN and the house coat have always been more or less associated with Christmas and practical gifts where the man is con cerned. The McDougal and Cassou company despite the scarcity of hish grade merchandise has secured ex tremely good looking men's gifts in that line. Pertinently, we might might mention their success in securing a splendid assortment of imported silk neckwear and hosiery, and advise shop ping before the time narrows down to ward Christmas. In this man's shop will be found interesting holiday gifts for women stunning sweaters taking the lead. A N ERA of prosperity is upon the land .and the people are better blessed with the world's goods than in the yesteryears. Everyone is shar ing in the good times which have brought an understanding of things material and an appreciation of tho beautiful. Combine the practical and the artistic in the home which we ad vise you to build of hollow building tile, infinitely more attractive than the ordinary common brick. It is machine made and better burned and has the advantage of allowing dead air space in the walls. The hollow tile makes the house warm in winter and cool in summer, facts to be reckoned with in Phoenix. Owing to the size of the tile and cheapness of laying, the con struction is less cosily than brick, ac cording to Vernon Clark. Mr. Clark says he has made many sales in this city and the surrounding country for the tile which is being used extensively for bungalows and cottages. A. G. Smith is now building eight dwellings with the hollow tile; W. J. Reser has six buildings in the course of construc tion: H. H. Shirley is using tile for a home, as are also William Osborn, Eudora Vestal and P. D. Williams. Mr. Clark has received orders for two carloads" for homes to be built in Peoria; two cars for Glendale and two cars for Chandler. As a suggestion a home for a Christmas gift.
