Our great public is giving us such a liberal hslidayt trade that we must ask them to assist us all they can in the delivery ef the goods. While we have by far the largest and most perfect delivery in Portland, there is no such thing as perfection in delivery when Christmas comes.

So, will you assist ns so far as is possible by carrying the smaller parcels with you, it's quite the cor rect thing to do, don't you know, to carry bundles at this time ef the year.

We are better than ever before prepared to guard against errors and to make deliveries promptly, hnt thenghtfnl co-operation on the part of our customers will be highly appreciated.

Thousands of bewitching little beauties will act as reception and entertainment committees this week in Santa Claus' realm. The dollies are out in force. Such fascinating little fairies as they are the handsomest dolls in town, of course pretty, smiling Baby Blanche and her sisters, Ethel, and Dorothy, the best of all dollies that come to this country. Hundreds of little dolls, and the most fascinating clothes for them all clothes that go on and off, down to the last stitch. And the toys! My I Why, if we'd had toys like these, fellow grown-ups, when we were young sters, we'd well, we wouldn't have been any happier after all. But the world of make-believe has grown right along with the happy old world we live in as realities wonders never cease in Toyland. Take one of those fine, swift, new ele vators and go up today; see the clowns at their antics. Over 5000 kinds of toys have come from abroad and 2000 more kinds from America. Don't you think that's enough to start with? x There will be howls of delight over the new mechanical toys. And the whizzing trains and trolleys and shoot-tbc-chutes that are all running. You never say anything like the new French Ninepins a little flock of birds in & cage, a school of fish in a pond, the donkey minstrels and a group of jockeys inside of a horse. Take them out, set them up, and play in the usual way. Great sport. The Dresden Kew-Art Toys are something that children won't get tired of, because they're built b3 people with imagination and humor and a child's way of looking at thing3 that's it. All the shiny things for Christmas trees are ready, too. Just enjoy yourselves, children. Have such a good time that you'll hate to go away at the end othe day 9:30 P. M.
