AN INTERESTING ANNOUNCEMENT

PURCHASE OF XMAS PRESENTS,

During the festive season, always associated with Yuletide, the great problem which each and every one has to solve is tho purchase of Xinas prcsbnts for loved ones. People wander from shop to shop, often in a vain endeavour to satisfy their taste. This experience is universal but the worry may easily be avoided by a visit to A. E. Kilgour's. An abundant stock of articles, give a wide range in the choice, and even the. most fastidious can find something to suit his or her taste. The husband who wishes to surprise his "better half by the gift of some present which will give her great pleasure, will be able to find a big range of articles dear to the heart of a woman. The new line of suede handbags reveal some alluring bags. The fond parent bent upon rewarding his or her offspring for his' studiousness during the school term has, only to turn to the well filled book cases and will find therein multitudious books particularly suited to the incul cation of knowledge, and the same time afford needed relaxation from study. The stock of toys and other knicknacks which gladden the heart of the younger folk will be viewed with delight. This year the toys are more numerous and of far superior quality to any procured since the outbreak of the Great War. Indeed in this respect Kilgour's Shop stands out prominently. *One very attractive line is that of China toys.' Special mention must be made of the childrens' favourite "encyclopaedia" this being the Boys' and Gins' Own Annuals. No one caoi possibly leave the shop disappointed as the stocks arc bigger than ever and afford a greater selection. No time should be lost in making an inspection: the display ext«h«3s tho whole length of the floor and every, article has 'been arranged and classified in a manner that will delight old Santa Claus whose headquarters will bo here when no pays his annual visit to Greymouth. < ..
