What Shall I Give ?
, This very pertinent question is answered suggestively, exhaustively, thor
oughly, comprehensively at this store. AVe mention gifts for mother, sister,
sweetheart or friend. And with the selection as varied and attractive as it is
this year at this store, Christinas shopping and gift selecting is more of a pleas
ure than a task. You come in this store and see so many things that are suit
able gifts "for loved ones in mind that you are happily perplexed in not know
ing which one of the hundreds to purchase. "We offer you the result of years
of experience in selecting Christmas goods. "While we are always desirous of
selling just as low as we possibly can, yet quality is first considered by us. Rest
assured that any article bought here for a present will give satisfaction and
pleasure to the recipient every time she has occasion to use it.' The days
between now and Christmas arc not many. The time will slip by very quickly
and before you realize it you will have to make your selections when every
where you'll find cr6wds of shoppers ajid stocks depleted "eleventh hour"
buying which at best is most unsatisfactory. Now is the time. Stocks arc
large and varieties broad. Goods fresh and unhandled. Study these lists. If
what's, wanted isn't included, you will surely find it here if you come now.
