For the
lUlAVf
"Anticipation is as sweet as savory odors to a hungry man," said a writer of olden time. There is a
Urge sum of anticipation in many hearts as the Holiday Season draws near. The pleasure both of giving
and receiving tokens of love and friendship is a delight of the imagination long before the hour for pre
sentation arrives.
THERE ARE THOUSANDS
of pretty things that bring happiness to the recipient, but th. re rs nothing that prolomgs the delight of
anticipation so much as a book ; there it lies on the Christmas table, and is evidently a bonk which the
loving friend or parent has "bestowed. But now a new form of anticipation springs up immediately, one
which will last along time, for until those beautiful, mysterions pages are opened and read from begin
ning to end there is still some new delight in store. Even then much has been read hastily, and one
turns back, and goes over the pages again and again. Were the question asked: What presents of for
mer years are now most valued in the household? The answer would be almost invariably, the books, for
thev never become out of fashion, and never grow old.
The NEXT QUESTION
is where can a good' stock of Books be found? We answer unhesitatingly, at the celebrated whole
vale and retail book house of
R. GRAMPTON,
in this city, where all the standard new books can bo had in complete sets or single volumes, suita
ble for children, youths, middle aged and old people.
f5irDo not fail to examine this mammoth stock, and you will
be satisfied.
tThe prices are witliin the reach of all, as his large purchases enables him to discount from 20 to
50 per cent on regular prices.
