I know of a glamorous California grand ma who has four daughters and three grandchildren. This grand ma is an unusual career woman. She is a riveter in an aircraft plant.

I don't even know why the horn-rimmed glass wearers are always chew ing on the ends of the holders when they take their spectacles off.

Who origi nated the slogan "Walk Upstairs and Save Ten Dollars"? I think it was Foreman and Clark, Los Angeles. However,-a Pittsburgh er stoutly claims it was Morry Goldman of his city who op erated in the Golden Triangle there, using the business name of "Second Story Morry." That, says he, was in 1915. I . believe Foreman and Clark had an up stairs store before that. .- So They Say . ........
