Merry
Christmas
Again the season is at
hand when the human
family indulges in the
pleasant custom of ex
tending good cheer and
joyous greeting to its
fellow beings, when the
heart sings out its glad
songs and all mankind is
warmed up by the spirit
which makes us all feel
better for it.
It is a great pleasure to
us, that we too, have
the pleasure on this oc
casion to extend to our
friends greetings and
best wishes for a
Merry
Christmas

THE CHUSTNAS TRADE

Today is the last day before Christ
Ml
When the business houses close
tonight the best Christmas shopping
season in the history of the town
win have ended.
For the past ten days the stores
have been thronged with shoppers,
and the merchants report having
done a most excellent business.
The shopping has not only been in
good quality, but has been in good
quantity as well, it would be diffi
cult to estimate what !ines of trade
liave been best, but merchants of all
classes ha%e received their share of
! the "long green." The trade in
Christmas goods this year has clearly
demonstrated the fact that the
buyers are more discriminate in
mal in<,' selection than in former
yea.s. Goods have been bought more
I for their usefulm·-:, than for their
I ornamentation, and for that reason
! the toys and trinkets which were
ι formerly the chief o< . in tin > of
'I he Christmas merchant - have be eu
I practically relegated to obli\ ion, if
(the use of the p\p c .η «ill b:*

the iiaile in this line of gi >!s does
not begin to compare with <1 1 past

In the.se days of mode! η ideas

be found in the furniture «tore, and
these establishments :χή recel is·-: it

Prom personal observation made by
Matching the shopper* as the;, throng
the stores where Christmas goods are
on display we would plate the Jewel

in the preference of those selertiag
yifts for friends and loved or.es It

is happiest While there is a good
demand foi this class of good» from
one end of the year to the next, yet
the greatest sale of jewelry is tirade

greatest demand is for medium pri<
