The Candy Store De Luxe of Stamford. 
Growth brings specialization. There 
was a time when most men were jacks- 
of-all-trades and the proverbial village 
store carried everything, but with the 
onward course of events it has been 
found in actual practice that specializa- 
tion gives the best service. The coun- 
try store strives upwards and the city 
stores strive to do things better. There 
seems to be something in the very na- 
ture of things why boots and dry goods 
should not be kept in the same store 
as soon as the community has learned 
to classify and segregate. No farmer 
should be his own blacksmith, and 
straw hats and pumpkin pies should 
not be mingled together in a show case 
although there are some country stores 
where such juxtaposition of the incon- 
gruous might yet be seen. 
Stamford took a long step forward, 
in fact a big jump, when there was 
established therein a thoroughly up-to- 
date, highly specialized Huyler candy 
store. Just as the term “mammoth” 
applied to the big animal of long ago 
has come to mean anything of big size, 
so the term “Huyler” started decades 
ago has become a synonym for good 
quality in confections and soda foun- 
tain supplies. One can but hail with 
delight the establishing of such a store. 
It is an indication of progress and civ- 
ilization and a proof that human beings 
do things best when they do not try to 
do too many things at once. A real, 
all-around, complete, effective store for 
confectionery and soda water has been 
established in Stamford by Huyler’s. 
We announce Huyler’s to our readers 
with delight not only because a good 
advertiser is with us but because they 
are good business managers and good 
servers of mankind and womankind 
and childrenkind too for that matter. 
Let us all go to their store for our next 
dish of ice cream or our glass of soda 
and note how exquisitely the store has 
been fitted up, how genial and courte- 
ous are the attendants and best of all 
how pleasing are the things that they 
supply. 
The Merits of the Box-Barberry. 
It is with much pleasure that we call 
attention to the Box-Barberry, the new 
dwarf, hardy plant so well adapted to 
edging and hedge purposes and ad- 
vertised in this number by The Elm 
City Nursery Company. Our readers 
will find that that company is thorough- 
ly trustworthy. Mr. Coe, the presi- 
dent, is known to big estates and to 
naturalists everywhere as a royal good 
fellow and notably skilful in the nurs- 
ery business. He knows what he is 
talking about. His statements may be 
implicitly accepted. 
Egypt, a New Perfume. 
It is with much pleasure that we 
call attention to the product of the 
Egypt Laboratory, Stamford, Connec- 
ticut, Post Office Box 471, originators 
and manufacturers of an entirely new 
line of perfumes under the general title 
of Egypt. This is indeed a wide de- 
parture from anything heretofore exist- 
ing in the market and is designed for 
those who want the best and are 
willing to pay a good price to get it. 
This is not cheap-John perfumery nor 
is it put up in anything but the best 
and most attractive style. It is indeed 
a product de luxe. 
The editor of this magazine is per- 
sonally acquainted with the manage- 
ment of the Egypt laboratory and is 
glad to speak a good word for that 
management and the products. The 
idea is good and is being well carried 
out. If any of our readers have at least 
the curiosity to know of something 
thoroughly good and new and superior- 
ly fine then send to the address we 
have already given, not forgetting to 
mention this magazine.
