If you want to be sure that the crystal you give or
keep is perfectly acceptable, select our “American”
pattern. This stunning handmade crystal is a Fostoria
recreation of a favorite colonial pattern so coveted by
great grandmothers. Today, it is again America’s most
popular tableware.
Its sparkle catches every eye. Its colonial simplicity
is in harmony with every setting. Its rugged quality is
ideal for everyday use. Its good taste recommends
“American” for smart entertaining.
And “American” is very inexpensive. In fact, some
pieces cost as little as 50c each. Selection is practically
unlimited over 200 separate pieces are available. For
gifts, for keeps, be sure to see our “American” displays.

Over 600 Garments
Secured In Canvass
More than 600 garments were re
paired and made in condition to
send to war relief centers by women
of the First Mennonite church and
the Defenseless Mennonite church.
The garments were gathered by
students in the Bluffton college Peace
club and taken to the college Science
hall where they were repaired and
altered.
Many of the garments were in
first class condition and needed no
repair. Some were washed and
cleaned. Garments which were not
in condition to be used as clothing
any more were cut into small pieces
and made into comforters. New
wool w’as purchased to make eight
comforters.
The 600 garments w-ere gathered
in a recent house-to-house canvass of
the community and consisted of over
coats, suits, skirts, sweaters, blouses,
trousers, stockings and other types
of apparel.
O. O. Alspach, Bluffton tailor, do
nated his services in the cleaning
and repair of some of the pieces. All
of the garments will be shipped to
the Mennonite Central Committee at
Akron, Pa., w’here they will be dis
tributed to war suffers in various
parts of the world.
Thousands of garments are sent
out by the Mennonite committee at
Akron for the relief of war suffer
ing.
More Destructive
than a Tornado
Windstorms—the kind we
will have this month—do more
damage than tornadoes.
That’s why it pays to
carry windstorm insurance,
especially in these days of
high building costs which make
replacement of any damage a
sizable expense.
Rates on windstorm insur
ance are so low you can’t af
ford to be without it.
See us today—you may need
us tomorrow.
