It is still more rare to be able to pick up a gen uine bargain at'ChriBt- maB time. But here is an honest bargain in Fountain Pen the kind we have sold all year for 91.60 each can now be had for only 91.00. That is a bargain, is it not? Along the same line you can get a self-filling, self - cleaning, fountain pen from The Observer Book Store,for only 91 50 the kind we have sold plenty of at 92.25, and which has given satisfac tion to all users. We have several dozen but not a big lot, to sell at these low prices. The cause is that the factory sent us a double order and they made the price lower to us rather than pay charge^ and take the goods back. Now don’t wait Until these pens are all sold, and then try to make us sorry that you didn’t come sooner. < —* > * i,B*' ' > .
