MATHESON’S, LTD.

Radiating Christmas Cheer Anyone who walks into Matheson’s Ltd. must feel that. Christmas is very near, for the whole shop radiates an atmosphere of good cheer. There are good things to eat, good things to drink and good things to give the children. In past years Matheson’s has risen nobly to the occasion to make a display worthy of the most festive season of the year, but excellent as past efforts have been they pale, into insignificance compared with the 1930 display. Christmas puddings, Christmas hams, mince meat, fruit salad in jars, figs, muscatels, pickles, sauces, olives, chutneys and dates—-these are a few of the-delicacies displayed. Decanters of cordials make a brave showing. Whether one wants to dine well during the holidays or give presents to enable others to dine well one should certainly go to Matheson’s. Prob-

ably few people realize how acceptable are goods of an edible’form at Christmas. So many articles that cannot be eaten are received that it. is a refreshing change to receive something that can be eaten. Shoppers would be well advised to depart from the stereotyped form of Christmas present and visit Matheson’s. Once they step inside this wonderful grocery store they will realize to the full that it. holds the easiest solution to the "what shall I choose - '” problem. For the children there are bonbons and Xmas stockings and for those who like sweets there is endless variety to choose from. Campers and picknickers will find all their wapts satisfied at Matheson’s.
