The Best Christ

The GREATEST STOCK
to Select From at
HOLT & CATES
A HAPPY TIME FOR THE CHILDREN
We have it on good authority that Old Santa expects to be
more liberal with the children this year than for many past,
and we have planned our stock accordingly to meet the in
creased demand.
The store is crowded from front to rear with goods
suitable for gift purposes, and it is easily possible to select
something for every member of the family from grandpar
ents to the tiniest baby. Even the faithful servants need not be neglected (should
there be any in these latter days). It is impossible to give an adequate idea in print of what we have here;
the best way is for you to visit the store as early and as often as possible, for in this way and in this way only
can you form a correct idea of what wo have prepared. In our advertising many items are left out where one
is mentioned. We merely give you a taste of the good things in the store.
PRICES LOW
You will find nil our goods extremely reasonable in price ; in fact, our prices are low. • This is
the direct result of good buying and you profit by it Early in the year our buyer made a per
sonal visit to the principal markets of the United States, in a determined search for good goods and exceptional values, and our stock is
the best of evidence of his success. With considerable experience for a guide, with ample opportunity for selection, and the solid argument
of cash and quantity lots to secure low prices, we have bought our.goods to better advantage than most dealers, and our prices are lower.
Opportunity has been given ub to prove the truth of our low prices. We have found some wholesale dealer# veiling the identical gopdB.we offer at prices
actually,higher than v^e ask fpr them at retail. We ha^e foupd tlfe lAme toys vre Bell displayed in'other'stores at a third more than we ask for them. No system
atic effort has been made to secure these facts,—they came to us by accident and are probably exceptional—yet they show our efforts to got the best vnluos have not
been in vain, and that*you wi*l 1 make no mistake*to make your Chfistffias pifrohasos hore. * ' .
■ l%# I ML I | ML I U|f ML VO After price the most important consideration in buying
I ■ ALVvA T 9 goods is the securing of good quality. In fact, quality
should come first, for the recollection of quality remains long after price has been forgotten, whether it be good or bad. We are convinced that it does not pay to
sell Bhoddy or inferior goods and you will find that every urticle purchased hero is as good as it is possible to secure for the price. We aim to hold our entire stock
to the high standard set in onr Prescription Department, where only the best ingredients are used; hence our china is of good body, properly fired ; our cutlery is
the best obtainable, and most of it is backed by our guarantee; our dolls, toys and other goods have been selected with the same standard in mind, and our stock
is singularly free from trash and shoddy imitations.

We are undoubtedly headquarters for dolln. Each year we
Hhow better dolls at lower price* than other dealers, and this
year we intend to beat our own record, for all of our dolls were
imported by us from Germany. Rather risky, because we had
to buy so many, but we know the low prices we have made will
quickly clear them out. Jly importing, we get better dolls;
dolls made according to our specifications; no ungainly, ill -
shapen freaks, but better bodies, better hair, prettier faces, and
—LOWER PRICES. Our assortment is complete (40 kinds)
and stock large, but do not wait too long to buy, for toward the
last the rush will lie great and some sizes sold out.
