The Pre-Christmas Opportunity Sale Tomorrow
Greatest Event of the Year
Opportunity Day is looked forward to by thousands as an economy
event of the utmost importance to them in the planning of expendi
tures for Christmas. Our purpose is to supply every year during
the Opportunity Day which occurs just before Christmas an insur
mountable amount of desirable merchandise, suitable for gift-giving
of the seasonable, practical kind.
We have gathered hundreds and hundreds of special lots sufficient
to keep every employe busy all day long. Therefore we feel justi
fied in asking you to shop as early in the day tomorrow as possi
ble and carry as many parcels as convenient. This is the co
operation that will be advantageous all around. The early visitors
will undoubtedly have the best choice.
Again we ask you to shop as early as possible in the morning and carry as many packages as you can, for undoubtedly this will realize a greater volume of busi
ness than in any previous sale.

GIFTS OF JEWELRY
Express Your Christmas Sentiments
Best and Live Longest
Watches, diamonds, articles of adornment, silverware, en
graved glass, artistic electroliers and the like are sensible gifts.
Sensible because useful, and, therefore, practical. Sensible
because of lifetime beauty and worth. Sensible because senti
mental, conveying your message of love, friendship or affection
as nothing else will.
Compare. Tall tomorrow at your jeweler's note the desir
ability of each article to you. Put yourself in the place of the
one for whom you are choosing the gift nearly everything you
see at the jeweler's yon would yourself appreicate as a gift. Be
cause the value intrinsically is high.
Gifts Should Be Mailed or
Expressed at Once
Your sentiments are also partly expressed at least
by the manner in which the gift arrives. If you would
have it reach its destination in time, send it now, for
transportation difficulties will be encountered soon. Your
jeweler will prepare the package for you and mark it "Do
not open until Christmas."

It is not necessary to shampoo your
hair so frequently If It Is entirely snrl
properly cleansed each time bv the use
of a really good shampeo. The easiest
to use and quickest drying shampoo
that we can recommend to our readers
Is one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair and may lie en
joyed at very little expense, by dis
solving a teasooenful of Canthrox,
which can be obtained frnm any drug
gift's, In a cup of hot wster. This
makes a full cup of shampoo liquid,
enough so It is easy to apply It to all
the hair Instead of Just to the top of
the head. This, when rubbed Into the
scalp and onto every strand of hair,
chemically dissolves all Impurities. It
Is very soothing and cooling In Its ac
tion, as well ss beneficial to b,iih scalp
and hair. After rinsing out the lallci
so created, you will find I he SOS IP Is
