what one will see if they
visit this store this week
THIS is going to be a travel ad
vertisement picturing by word
what’s to be seen in the big gift
store of Valdez.
IN the glass display case in the front is the
Silverware and Cut Glass. The Silverware
is Community, guaranteed for fifty years. In
Cut Glass there are a number of novelties that
are sure to find new homes Christmas time.
THEN comes a case of Neckwear and there’s
a mighty good assortment selling for seven
ty-five cents. Then there are Shirts and Collars,
all A rrow make, which is a guarantee of quality.
A TABLE of Bedding comes next—warm
Quilts and Blankets—good qualities and
very attractive.
1 GET THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT_|
A TABLE of Women’s Silk Hosiery is in the
center. Novelties are the rule. There’s a
splendid good quality fibre Silk that sells for
seventy-five cents. #
THE Good Eats store where most of the Val
dez people get their food supplies is cer
tainly ready for Christmas. Not particularly a
gift section, yet a merchandise order for grocer
ies would likely be appreciated by most of us.

NEXT is a little table of A rt Goods, Pillow j
Tops, Guest Towels, Bath Towels, etc.
Threads and Silks a-plenty to work them up.
THE next table is almost a little Gift Store in
itself. Something is there for everyone.
Boxed Stationery in most attractive styles.
White Ivory in Combs, Brushes, Mirrors, etc.,
Mahogany Nut Sets, Book Ends, Dainty Per
fumes, Sachet Powders, etc.
BACK in the corner under the balcony, is the
Men’s Clothes Section. Benjamins of
course, and here also is the big display case of
Knox Hats. Either would be highly acceptable.

FOR children there is a display of bedroom
Slippers. Come in red and blue. Priced
a pair, seventy-five cents and one dollar.
THE Hardware section comes next—there’s
a case where are shown Flash Lights,
Pocket Knives, Razors and lots of things for
men. There’s also a counter showing Casser
oles, Pyrex Glassware, and all kinds of House

All kinds—the biggest and best display in town.
