C. E. JAMES, BROADWAY.

Infinite care, judicious selection, admirable business foresight, and a knowledge of what the public wants, are the outstanding features of a remarkable display of fancy goods and miscellaneous ware, on view in the spacious show rooms of Mr C. "E. James, Broadway. A representative of the “Evening Post” who glanced in this morning and was shown over “Toy-land” was amazed at the attractions offered the youngsters. Dolls are still fashionable, and Mr James lias them in every conceivable ■size, shape, colour, and pattern, from Hie blonde beauty, which walks and turns a proud head from side to side, to the little dark-eyed damsel which retails at a price too insignificant to be even whispered. Wooden toys, strong and durable, destined to last when Christmas 1912 has joined the limbs of forgotten things. But to enumerate all these delightful things, fashioned to please the kiddies, would be to merely arrive at the conclusion that everything the children can possibly delight in, lias been left at James’ by that universal provider— Father Christmas. But it is not only for the children that Mr James caters. Believing that people prefer to get the best, even if it entails opening the purse strings a trifle wider, lie has obtained ,-a stock of antique copper ware, antimony ware, and chinaware, amongst this last named a fascinating assortment of Beyrouth ware. Antique copper lias so much to recommend it. Artistic in design, its durability and reliability are in keeping with its obvious beauty. Japanese antimony ware lias of late become highly popular for photo, frames, jewel boxes, etc. It keeps its colour, and for the price is better than silver. In silver, electroplate, and copper the firm lias a remarkable array of tasteful and useful articles. Manicure sets, brushes. and a thousand and one articles so suitable for Christmas gifts are also included in a grand display, which arc a cielit to the enterprise of one oi Stratford’s foremost business men.
