sition, but one cannot get by the store
without being instantly attracted with
Oi hundred of fetching novelties in
books, music, bric-orbrac, pictures and

"The Jeweler," H. Eckstrom, has so
small a room that the richne-and
variety of his wares are instantly ef
fective as one enters the place, and his
counters are tbiek with buyers all liy
long, choosing and lingenng ironi me

Foard 4 Stoke CVinpony's big long
line of hardware, drea and dry goods.
and edible line are hojidsomely arrang
ed and infinitely sugge-tive. The big
house carrie everything that can sup
ply a human want, and the attempt to
put them all on exhibition at one time
is bewildering a it is convincing; yet it
i wonderfully successful, too, consid
ering the great swarm crushing in and

that one know what one want and ran
get it at the Foard A Stoke Company's
wholesale house for the simple asking,

handsome window that serve a a veri
fication of that piece of knowledge and

For all practical thing in the house
hold world, one has but to go to W. J.
Scully's hardware and plumbing house
on Commercial street, nor do his win
dows, handsome as Ibey ere, tell the
full tale of utility to be ascertained by
a visit to the inside. Once inside there
i logical reason and full return for ell
the money one has to spend; and the
proof of these statements is found in
the simple doing of the things sug
gested.
Whatever of the handsome and useful
P. A. Stokes puts in his elegant holiday
windows is mere suggestion, rich and
ample, certainly, jet only suggestive of
the endless line and infinite varieties
of goods, grades and prices, on the in
side, Mr. Stokes is en arti-t in elabo
rating his windows, but he I also the
conscientious merchant who looks to the
fulfilment of his patron's last and best
wish, as inspired at those windows, by
a fair, square and satisfactory deal, at
tho counters.
The Bee Hive's new and elegant quar
ters on the north side of Commercial
street are beautifully equipped for the
season and in wholy appropriate fash
ion. The firm has not yet installed its
business there, but will as soon after
New Year's day a practicable. But for
the Christmas bolidaya it baa unequivo
cally put the holiday hint in the new
windows; the west one showing a splen
did and realistic snow grotto with all the
appurtenances of Santa Claus and hi
gift-making propenitea. It Is very
handsome and commands immediate at
tention from loth side of the thorough
fare; the eat window present a be
wildering lot of toys, of all dimensions,
utilities, and amusing adaptation and
are tliey-"liead ccntr" of childish at
tention all day long. When the new
house is completely atocked, itwill be
with a scope and variety that lieggar
mention in a brief article such as this.
The newly opened quarters of Charles
Heilborn fc Company, the furniture men
and housefitters, on Commercial street,
has the distinction, at present, of being
the handsomest mercantile store-room
in the city. It is practically all win
dows on the front, ami from these win
dows the entire first floor end all its
treasure of household equipment are
visible, and it fascinate the eye of
every good housewife in Astoria. No
one can pacs the place without at least
one glance of interest and commenda

with magnificent speciments of
every home appliance and ranges
from the richest to the simp
