Throughout the year-but probably more often during the approach of Christmas, gift suggestions are welcomed; and in this con- nection the service of newspaper advertising is beneficial to seller and buyer alike.

Thus the newspaper fills the part of a directory which enters the home daily.

There is nothing stale about it; it guides in the trend of Fashion and gives a faithful indication of progress in every Industry.
