Thousands of Pretty China Gifts

—This great China Store is brimful of dainty and practical Christmas gifts.

There are fancy Japanese, German, French and Austrian China pieces priced from 23a tt $3.00 each.

We call special attention to the neat hand decorated pieces from Japan, imported directly by this store.

It is of some consequence to know that we import direct all of our China. We are able, thereby, to sell pieces for about half what y©u would be asked elsewhere.

Our stock this year, in spite of the war, is larger and better than ever. We took several import orders which had been cancelled by other stores.

Don't wait until the last minute. An early selection has manifold advantages—especially at this time of year.
