Thurston 1709 Adams Ave. Gifts That Rival ' The Gifts of Old- Regardless of how fine may be the material gifts vof Christmas time, it is the gift of friendship, of good fellowship, and of good cheer that makes Christmas the holiday and holy-day that it is. - Nothing quite equals the spirit of friendliness, the good will borne one to another, the unselfish af fection and deep regard which characterize human contacts. That interprets the true Christmas Spirit. The world is a void to the man without friends. Life is worth while because of friends and the oppor tunity to serve them. 'Nothing should be guarded ; more jealously. To our friends of forty years of bank- ing, we extend our sincere wishes for '' avinost Joyous Christinas day. - " La Grande National Bank "Forty Years of Friendly Service" ' ' Wish All Our Friends and Patrons A Very Merry Christmas Carr Furniture rJ.Kf J.I.Jgi'-''gi'J'l'i''-gJI'-"!!!'-)l!'tfw Wishing You All A Merry Xmas - OREGON HARDWARE CO.
