Stewart & Co. ourth . tb Fighth to Tenth Street Artificial Ivory Is a Specialty of the Christmas Toilet Goods Store African ivory, universal use, fin long the luxurious ideal of the dressing table, but too costly for s its virtual replica in artificial or French ivory. This ivory so successfully imitates the beauty of elephant’s tusks that, except- ing for its intrinsic value as a rare commodity, its artificiality need not be considered. Of course, the I’rench applied this idea to the production of toilet articles of high quality, such as were formerly made of real ivory. Every toilet article for the dressing table can be had of this ivory. Hair brushes with fine bristles, mirrors in several styles, different kinds of combs, large and small. Puff boxes, salve boxes, trays, jewelry boxes, : manicure articles, button hooks, shoe horns, sewing cases, bonnet brushes, hat brushes, military brushes, pin cushions, glove stretchers, talcum powder shakers, tooth powder boxes, glove and hat boxes, hatpin holders, hair re- ceivers and vanity boxes. When engraved with initial or monogram, a set of this French ivory may be compared advantageously with any of silver, gold or even of real ivory. Some Geography and History—Original and best artificial ivory is made in France. America, England and Gaetan have adapted the idea very creditably for smaller prices. Twelve months ago we began our plans for this Christmas, by contracts with the best man- ufacturers in Paris and other countries, so we might offer a complete collection of this finest ivory. That it outranks any in the city we are told day by day. Early selection is advisable to permit time for engraving and while stocks are complete in every size. Sets and single pieces—Combinations have been arranged of comb, brush and mirror, as well as sets of 14 and 15 pieces of both French and domestic ivory at from $5 to $25, Each piece of French ivory is stamped “France” to easily distinguish it. French ivory combs, 35c to $1; French ivory hair brushes, $2.25 to $5.75; French | ivory mirrors, $3.50 to $7. And all the smaller pieces to match the toilet set. Lower priced articles in English, German and domestic make. Choose yours pein and be sure of tting your engravin ne in time. phy . - Main floor, Old Building. When in Doubt, What size? What kind?
