THE GOLDEN RULE
Saturday was certainly a gala day for the little tots. Our, store was thronged
from morning until night, with the little ones and their mammas who had come to pay
their respects to the GREAT SANTA and tell him of their wants for Christmas.
All were made happy by the souvenirs he gave them and his promise to remember
them at Christmas time.
THE MAMMAS AND PAPAS ALSO
were surprised and delighted with OUR WONDERFUL TOY DEPARTMENT,
many telling us that they had never seen any thing to equal it and all admitting that
it far exceeds any stock ever shown in La Grande. -:
