Some were loaded down with beautiful and costly novelties novel-ties of all descriptions, suitable for presents; others shone resplendunt with woolen goods, furs, etc.; but the windows which tho crowds gathered around to see were tho grocers' and confectioners'. At the Old Constitution building the grocer department of Z. C. M. I. displayed a window piled to the ceiling ceil-ing with temptingly arranged layers ol raisins, candied peels, dried and canned fruits, sauces, spices, pickles, flavoring extracts, fancy candies, in fact everything that could be thought of as necessary for a Christmas feast. Mr. G. W. Davis' window presented present-ed a most intensely enticing appearance. appear-ance. Holiday sweetmeats, of every variety and description, were attractively attract-ively exhibited. Crowds of "sweet-toothed" "sweet-toothed" mater familias were supplying supply-ing their Christmas stores at Davis' last evening. On the block below Teasdel & Co., Bhowed a window full of raisens, puts, candies, sugars, teas, etc., etc., as samples of what they could supply to their customers for holiday dinners. din-ners. Tho Elephant store windows attracted at-tracted longing dozens of men, women wo-men and children, who stood bewildered be-wildered with the sight, scarcely knowing what to purchase among such a profusion of good tilings. Mr.Henry Wallace led in the fancy candy and confectionary lines. His store on First South street was brilliantly bril-liantly illuminated, and the crowds were fairly amazed with the display. Other stores also showed toothsome Christmas and New Year's goods without with-out limit in quantity or variety. Altogether Al-together tbe city has never been bettor bet-tor supplied with the requirements of the season than at present, nor was there ever before such a grand display dis-play made. |
