Saturday, December 27, 1913. AHA VANCOUVER WORLD MUSIC AND DRAMA OTETY New Year Gifts As the season returns it is our experience that the demand for New Year's Gifts increases, and in consequence we are always in readiness with a splendid selection of appropriate articles. Those who prefer this season to Christmas or who find that some friends have been overlooked, will do well to pay a visit to this great gift emporium. THE AFTERMATH Usually, the day following Christmas brings with it unpleasant recollections that one or two friends have been inadvertently overlooked in the matter of Christmas gifts. It is fortunate, indeed, that New Years Day, following so closely, gives us an opportunity to make amends for our oversights during the Christmas rush.

Although the past few weeks' shopping made heavy demands upon our stocks, the assortments are still very complete, so that we have still a large range of beautiful, useful things for New Years gifts. F. BUSCOMBE CO. LTD. 319 321 Hastings Street West Henry Birks Sons, Ltd.
