A Christmas Showing Eclipsing in Variety and Quantity
All Contemporaneous Book Exhibits
Nearly fifty years ago the first book was sold in the Gill establishment. With that sale went the manifesta
tion of good will, good service and desire to please, that since, in its multiplication, has developed for this
store the book business of the Pacific Northwest. It has ever been the policy here to anticipate a demand
rather than await its arrival, and it is this viewpoint that has actuated the policy of always carrying more
books and a greater variety of books than the general demand would warrant in many stores. It is with this
splendid preparation, this thoughtful anticipation of every possible demand, that we present this holiday
book display to you, with the assurance that there is scarcely a book worth while not Included, at a range of
prices within reach of every purse. -
