THE WEEKLY LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., DECEMBER 12, 1895.
Do You
Realize that tne weight of eleven months
is underneath the Calendar wheel pulling
her over to the Christmas notch and that
each day brings you nearer the great gift
season.
50 Beautiful Neckties
in dark effects, just one in a box, for only 18c. These Ties are fully
worth 25c. and make nice presents. Large lot of Four-In-Hands, in
rich colors, at 25c. Beautiful White Silk Handkerchiefs, broad
hemstitch, almost large enough for a muffler, the 50c. kind only 37c.
Gentlemen’s full size White Silk Handkerchiefs as cheap as 25c.
Ladies’ Handkerchiefs from 1c. to a nice embroidered one at 12^c.
Large lot of Baby Dolls from 1c. to a fine large Sleeping Doll, with
moveable head and limbs, at 23c., 35c. and ‘18c. Tops, Whistles,
Horns, Harps, Birds, Drums, Carts, Wagons, Doll Carriages. Tin
Stoves, and in fact anything to please the children. Fine lot of heavy
double thick Mirrors at 10, 15 and 25c. The best fleece-lined Cash-
mere Gloves for ladies at 15, 18 and 25e. will be found on our coun
ters. We have just got in almost a car-load of Trunks for the holiday
trade. Now is the time to purchase and get the choice of the lot.
Valises and Grip Satchels in abundance. Lunch Baskets at 15c. are
a novelty.
Our Hosiery Department
Is unexcelled. Just think of a heavy rib hose for boys and girls, sizes
G-8, fast black and seamless foot, for 10c. We had to buy a large
quantity of these to get the price and consequently have marked a
SELLING price on them. The best 10c. hose on earth for ladies.
20 doz. ladies’ wool hose at 15c., they would be cheap at 20c. 25 doz.
children’s hose, 4-8, at 5c.
Foot Fashion.
They came in just a few days ago, those advanced ideas in ladies’ lace
and button shoes. They are Zeigler Bros., the best made. You will
have to see them to appreciate their novelty. Our fine shoes at $1.25
and $1.48 are rare bargains. Another lot of those $1.25 coarse shoes
for men to go at 98c. That’s the way we sell them. Men’s fine shoes,
lace or gaiter, 98c., $1.25, $1.98, $2.25, $3.25 and $4 98. Their com
fort and ease can be better understood by trying them on. The prices
are easy, too.
