Santa Claus Activities All Ove -Otof Stoe
ONLY three more days till Christmas. Three short days in which to complete the joyous. preparations that go to make Christmas the most glorious day
of the year. How many little hearts are counting the time clear up to the last minute till the wonderful Christmas stocking can be explored. There
are Santa Claus activities all over our store. Every department is offering so many choice things that people are sure to find just what they want,
so the stockings can be well supplied here, no matter how fastidious the owner. Our prices and the great variety of our goods, offer extra attractions. Our
entire force, our accommodation desk and our many delivery wagons make buying and the delivery of your goods easy. For the busy-people who cannot con
veniently come in the day time, our store will be open evenings until Christmas. It is well worth while, however, to come in the morning. The crowds are not
so dense then and much better opportunity is offered for making selections. But bear in mind, you are missing half of Christmas if you fail to see our display.
