Announcing a Display of Gift
Linens of Surpassing Beauty
Many Pieces Under Price
Someone lias said that the heart of the good homekeeper is in her linen chest—one way
of expressing the great pride she takes in her table’s dress.
So a display of table linens to-morrow admirably suitable as gifts for honiekeepers.
Table sets and separate pieces selected with the good taste that characterizes those who
know worth, who appreciate that elegance in linens, depends first of all upon superior qual
ity. Every piece is genuinely fine, and therefore a gift to be proud of.
That some of these pieces are under-price is more “a state of mind” of the linen buyer
than anything else.
He will keep fresh stocks coming in, though the new patterns are often very much like
those that must have their prices cut to make room for these new ones.

We are doing all in our
power to make your
Christmas shopping a
pleasure, and profitable to
you.
The stocks have been se
lected with the idea that
people want to give things
that are really worth while
—let it be as small and as
inexpensive as you will.
Good taste, we believe, is
expressed in the merchan
dise throughout the store;
nothing tawdry or showy
finds place here.
And the service—capa
ble, pleasant, willing sales
people to serve you quick
ly if possible, but WELL
by all means.
Also we have augment
ed our delivery service by
installing two new auto
mobiles to whisk things to
you on time.
We are doing our best,
and our best this year is
better than it has been
during any of the many
Christmases we have
served you.

Elegance
Characterizes a Display of
Luxurious Comfortables
We take particular pride in presenting
the Christmas stocks of fine comfortables.
We doubt if such a display has ever been
made in Atlanta-
One notable point is that though the cov
erings are the richest, most exquisitely pat
terned silks, the quality of the fillings war
rants years on years of service—choose from
those filled with lambs’ wool and with down
the cover may be a brocaded silk, a heavy
gros-grain silk edged with silk passemen
terie.
Indeed, such a display strikes a new note
of elegance in comfortables.
Prices go from $5.00 to $45.00.
21-2x3-yard hand-embroidered sheets (double bed size),
a pair, $16.00, $17.60 to $20.00
2x2 3-4 yard hand-embroidered and hemstitched sheet*
(single bed size), a pair, $20.00 and $25.00.
45x36-inch pillow eases, embroidered to match, a pair,
$5.00 to $6.50.
Will the toys last
through the days of Santa
Claus’ shopping?
We hope they will for
the sake of those who just
can not do their Christ
mas duty to the little folk
until the day before the
day.
Bnt, with no desire to
shout “wolf,’’ we would
urge all who can finish the
toy end of their shopping
right now to do so.
This new toy store has
won favor, great favor.
The toys are more at
tractive, it seems, thsn
those Atlanta had been
shown before.
They are going rapidly.
Be advised.
The usual rush for
Chamberlin -Johnson - Du-
Bose Co. handkerchiefs,
gloves and neckwear is on
in earnest.
Varieties must grow
smaller as Christmas
comes on.
The Gift Umbrellas Are Attractive
Umbrellas that are different from the ordinary kinds!
For men and for women. **
Neater and more artistic than those of other Christmases, and in greater variety.

have finest choice.

covers are the wear well kind.
