CHRISTMAS
What shall I give? This very pertinent question "is answered, exhaustively, thoroughly, comprehensively suggestively. We
mention gifts appropriate for every member of the family, father, mother, brother, sister, relatives, friends or sweethearts, and
with the selection as varied and attractive as it is this year at this store, Christmas shopping and gift selecting is more of a
Eleasure than a drudgery. We are mentioning a few of appropriate articles suitable for Christmas. We ask only a reasona
le profit, not the 200 to 500 per cent usually tacked on. We'd rather sell out clean and let each article bear its small per cent
than to carry half our stock over and make the same money.
