Red Cross Christmas Cheer
The people of the United States are approach
ing the Christmas holidays under conditions this
country never has seen before; and, moreover, it
is probable that this year we shall not experience
most sorrowful Christmas while this world
our
war rages.
With the thought of the nation dwelling
largely on the infinite suffering abroad, on the cer
tainty that our own flesh and blood will soon be
enduring its full share of that suffering, and on
the absence from home of hundreds of thousands
of dear ones, Christmas, 1917, will be a war

a gift to yourself or to some one else, nothing would
ease more than a good suit or overcoat. The pleasure
—would be manifold if Snellenburg Clothes are chosen.
In them you get naught but the best—best fabrics, best
tailoring, best wear—and you will find the cost less than you
would pay elsewhere for clothes probably not so good.
Why? Because of our vast purchasing power and the
operation of our own factory, which enables us to bring the
garments direct to you, thereby saving about 25 per cent—
and maybe more—which usually goes in the middleman's
pocket. Remember, then, buy your Christmas "togs" at
Snellenburg's.
