your Christmas shopping right here
in South Huron as there are wonder

just take a walk downtown and see
for yourself.
... No need to take a day off to
travel out of town in search of the
very things you’ll find easier here.
No sense either in wasting money
from your Christmas budget to buy
gasoline for travelling out of town.
Save that money. Use it for better
and more gifts this Christmas.
. . . Shopping in your own Christ

you’ll be shopping among friendly
merchants who want to help and
please you and who want to see you
come back again after Christmas. So
shop at home and make it a merrier,
thriftier Christmas for all of your
loved ones this year.
