HERBERT, HAYNES.

A SHOPPER’S PARADISE.

You are seeking choice gifts this Yuletide that will carry their message of remembrance and will long be appreciated and valued for their high quality and good taste? Well, then, be sure to visit the well-known drapery store of Herbert, Haynes and Co., Ltd., in Tay street, where in the wonderful range of high-class novelty articles you will find ideal presents for either sex. Renowned for the excellence of its service and the quality of its goods, this firm has made special efforts this festive season to cater for its customers by an array of eminently suitable gifts at low prices well within one’s reach, The whole store is really so full of appropriate presents that one would like to take them in hundreds.

Here, for instance, is a tempting display of poker work novelties, including shopping lists, needle cases, teapot holders, book marks, calendars and dozens

of other lines ranging from 9d to 7/6 each in price—a great opportunity for a suitable gift to a deal’ friend. A necklace? Yes, there are hundreds of latest novelties to select from, or, if you prefer, the assistants, all so willing to help you with suggestions, will show you fancy-cased combs with mirrors for handbags, Italian mosaic brooches, beautifully inlaid with charming colour effects and designs, fancy boxed stationery, strikingly effective, and excellent original etchings by master artists. And if you visit the brassware counter you wifi never be able to tear yourself away for the articles offered there, at such reasonable prices, too, are so wonderful that you will not really know what to buy first. No drawing room or breakfast room is really complete without a piece of brass, is it? You can just take your choice—brass candlesticks, 'trays, bowls, trinket boxes, bookends, placques, bellows, gongs and so on—really a fine range. The firm’s selection, quietly dignified in character and smartly distinctive in style, provides fully, too, for the proverbially’difficult “men’s gifts.” What about an art silk dressing gown? He has one, you reply. Well, some fancy socks or ties, a blazing blazer, military hair brushes or a collar box? Or maybe, a tie press—such a useful and lasting gift—a silk-lined pyjama case, leather slippers, a swimming suit? But you really need to go to the store yourself and see the splendid array of gifts. You certainly will not come away empty-handed.
