LOVEM AN, JOSEPH & LOEB,
The Busiest Store in Birmingham.
OUR STORE IS NOW A GREAT HOLIDAY BAZAAR!
A MERE AGGREGATION OF MERCHANDISE does not necessarily make a stock from which one can pleasantly,
profitably and satisfactorily supply one’s wants. To meet these requirements there must be behind the mass brains, judg
ment, courage, discretion, taste, experience, and last—not least—a long purse to command the markets of the world. Ail of these we
have, and the result is that every department is replete with irresistible inducements.
Our Toy Department alone occupies almost an entire floor, three times as much space as formerly, and our other holiday depart
ments are similarly amplified.
We would advise early purchases to get choice of stock and avoid the rush. We will cheerfully store all goods and deliver to
suit your convenience. _______
