R. M. STORE.

The manager of the Ready Money Store understands the business which is briskest at tills season of the year, and haspre£>ared 7 for a crush. \Vo know of no season when the little ones: demand greater attentiou, and we know frtim experience the difficult}' that generally exists, in obtaining a suitable gift for their very fastidious tastes. This year the parental miml may remain calm, as by oalli»g aMbe^tjady Money Store anil I ascending to the lipiper'storey, they will find displayed in a couple of rooms, a capital collection ol toys aud crockery. The toys are innumerable, consisting of dolls, very largo, medium and small, small rocking horses, parlor games, dominoes, trumpets, and bo on; besides which, for bigger children, there are photograph table Bcreies; cabinets, phieb. and wood brackets, hand mirrors, work-boxes, and ladies bags, and it would be hard if .some of the number is not just the thing 'required. The show of crockery and glassware ia, we think, the best in the town, for crockery of alt : (lescriplipns arid patterns are thereto chojtso-froVu, and the glass ' starts from' a wine glass to tliu long beer measure.
