people of Han Kruiiclsro Ib not to be

meaning is altogether different. It
means to scratch around like blades

Tho kickera and croakers have no

BE IT KNOWN; to all people, especially the ladies, that
Thanksgiving Day will soon be hereand that it behooves you
to have on hand the proper equipment. Therefore; you are
hereby commanded to appear at The Ironmonger and buy:
first a good enameled roaster, it is necessary. DON'T use that
old iron one longer. By so doing you can get one of the best
Heed pattern, a woman's invention, for $1.75 to $2.75 and
with each a 6" butcher knife will bo given up to Thanksgiving
Furthermore; It is incumbent upon0 you to provide the
proper tools for the carver. The butcher knife given with
roaster is good but will not fill the place of a carving set.
Good work is done best with good tools.
o e . o
Also do not forget that a good moat chopper is necessary
in preparing that delicious stuffing, mince meat and other
delicacies.
Be thankful that the Ironmonger has these articles iu stock.
