POPULAR ICED DRINK STORE.

BOXED CHOCOLATES FOR GIFTS. If you were to ask the childre.n which shop they would like to be let loose in at Christmas the answer would come without hesitation, “Miss Marshall’s.’’ There is nobody so keen as the youngster, especially when it comes to iced drinks, ice-creamis, and sweetmeats. What can be more refreshing for a cooler than an - icecream or an iced drink from the fountain made with pure fruit juice During the hot weather this shop is a favourite spot for a refresher; but the reader must not think that Miss Marshall only sells soft refreshing drinks —that is not so. She has made every preparation for the sale of chocolates in a big way, and her stocks of English lines, Fry’s .Caley’s, and others, wi’l ocnvince you that they are all the best that can be procured. Her lines range in value from the modest- sixpenny box to that of two or three pounds The higher-priced boxes are undoubtedly most suitable Christmas gifts, as apart from the quality of the contents the boxes are a work of art, and quite valuable. These gifts are always appreciated. Santa Claus must be induced to enter this shop before finally going home. He will find stockings and penny lines by the hundreds. Mackintosh’s English toffee deluxe is to be procured here, and everything to fill UP the stockings. Minties. quite a new line, and all the rage, and, in fact, everything in the sweets line, is stocked. NOVELTIES FOR LADIES. VALUE AT MISS E. F. WILSON’S.
