Not as cheap as some sell it in Town, but as reasonable asI’ure Sugar Candy can be sold. People do not realize th depraved character of some of the Candy sold throughout this country. Much of it is made out of term alba or white clay with enough gum to stickit together. enough sugar to sweeten it, and enough coloring matter to make it look gay. Iliave also the usual line of Toy Boo/cs and holiday publications. C’liallerboms, 5 different kinds, rang- ing in price from 500 to $1.00. A beautiful line of Bar: Paper.
