Gifts Men Like
What's the use of giving a man some
thing he doesn't like? We pride our
selves on the fact that nowhere in Bl
Paso will you find as many gifts that
men really like as here. Probably first
in our catalog comes safety razors, of
which wc have every good kind, at
prices beginning at $1.00. Shaving ac
cessories of all kinds are offered here
in a wide range of choice. A pocket
knife is always appreciated, and or
these we have a good stock. A foun
tain pen, either a Waterman or a Par
ker, is another gift that will give great
pleasure to a man. This is hardly the
place to mention it, but many men like
toilet water, perfume and other articles
of a similar nature. A selection from
our stock of these articles will prove
highly pleasing to the recipient. Seott

Christmas gifts. This season, our stock
is more complete than ever before with
gifts of the substantial sort. There is
hardly any member of the family for
whom you cannot find here something
that will prove a lasting pleasure. It
is almost impossible for us to present

reason that a gift in furniture is of
such a personal nature that gift seek
