Moliday Goods— Where to Bay Them. ‘The holidays are not two weeks off, and it is Bardly necessary to remind the readers of the Brax that those who purchase their family sup- phes and Christmas gifts before the rash com- mences, have leisure to make their selections and can choose what they need before the etecks are pulled over and damaged by hand- Mpg. Beside, they have a larger assortment to ebeose from and are not hustled and incom- moded by the eleventh hour purchasers. With ‘8 view of informing al! who wish to take advan- tage of this hint, where they can get the best goods at the lowest prices, we resume to-day @ur notices of advertisers of holiday goods, and shall continue the same from day to day as new advertisements appear.
