tieth Century Club and historian of the
Lady Knox Chapter, D. A. R., of Rock

efficiently for its success. She was al
ways interested in whatever pertained to
the welfare of the town where she had
made her home for over 30 years. She
was broad minded, intellectual, and al
ways identified herself with the side of
right, and gave willingly of her time and
means for the support of every good
cause. She will be greatly missed in the
home and in the community where so
large a part of her life has been spent.

worth and H. Heistad. Interment was in
the family lot in Belfast.”

would you buy? Would it be something fancy and
frivilous that would please for the passing moment
and soon be forgotten, or something you could use
every day in the year?
We believe that every thinking person would rather
have “his” or “her” money spent for presents that
are useful. Gifts that would make the recipient
think of your thoughtfulness in the days to come.
Our store is full of Useful, Wearable Gifts. For
instance—Warm Comfy Slippers for Everyone.
Fancy Indian Moccasin Slippers to send to friends
moved away that will make them think of the good
old Pine Tree State. Sturdy Skating Boots for the
“Youngsters.” Handsome party slippers with the
famous Tweedie Boot Tops to match. And last,
but not least, the celebrated Holeproof Hosiery
for every member of the family.
Just make out your list—come in and see how sat
factorily you can check up the wants of most
everyone. Fair prices, of course.
