MANCHESTER 
Domnick Flatley broke ground this 
week for a house on Vine st., be- 
tween his own residence and _ the 
house he recently remodeled. 
No wonder there were smiles on the 
streets of Manchester last week. The 
wearers of the “smile that wouldn’t 
come off” were participants in the 
distribution of more than $6,500 by 
the Manchester Trust Co. to its 
Christmas club members. The sums 
distributed individually varied all the 
way from little nest eggs to comfort- 
able funds, but the recipients were 
alike happy, for they realized on their 
savings at a convenient time. The 
Trust Co. is starting another club 
now for next year. 
The day has long gone by when the 
residents of a town of Manchester’s 
size need go to the city to do their 
Christmas shopping. The many 
stores in this modern little village are 
equipped to supply a big summer 
trade and their variety of stock furn- 
ishes ample material for selection of 
Christmas gifts and Christmas neces- 
sities by the people of the town. The 
bird which will adorn the festive 
board may be found at the North 
Shore Market as well as all the “trim- 
mings.” The fruit, fresh from the 
Boston market the day you purchase, 
you will find at the Manchester Fruit 
Co. The staple articles of your 
Christmas dinner, the relishes and 
the sweets you may find in any 
quantity at Bullock Bros. | And at 
Hooper’s Grocery you may find those 
delicacies, which add so much to the 
enjoyment of the day, the candies, 
sweets and nuts, and here also your 
decorations of Christmas greenery. 
—&. E. Allen will cater to your taste 
in like manner. Certainly no need 
of shopping out of town for your 
Christmas dinner. Perhaps the selec- 
tion of that present for a certain lady 
has weighed heavily on your mind 
until this late hour—those delicious 
chocolates at Walen’s Drug store will 
adjust the difficulty; or a Christmas 
box of cigars for that man friend, 
may be found there. Perhaps it is 
stationery, some dainty toilet article 
er mayhap even a Thermos bottle— 
at Allen’s Drug store you'll find it. 
No doubt you are a “spug” and will 
wish something useful for the house- 
hold. Why not get one of these 2oth 
century comforts, an electric iron, 
toaster or table lamp at G. A. 
Knoerr’s? Or some of that cutlery 
at John W. Carter Co.’s? A casserole 
or chafing dish from D. T. Beaton’s 
would be an acceptable gift. You 
can shop at home, save your carfare 
and be well served.
