CONFIDENTIALLY YOURS
—by Byrn^Hope Sanders
MONTREAL—It’s important to your husband...
to have his shirts flawlessly ironed. And you can
give him this business asset so easily — by using
GLIDE LIQUID STARCH. You simply add water
to Glide. That’s all! There’s blue.in Glide to add
whiteness, and wax to smooth your ironing. Glide
leaves no streaks — and gives shirts that profes
sional look. And use Glide for your cottons—table
linens—curtains—house dresses and youngsters’ clothes. It, makes a
wonderful difference to both appearance and wearing qualities. I’m
really enthusiastic about Glide—try it in the 32 dz. bottle or the 64
oz. giant economy size and know a new pride in your skill!
Fifty Dish-Washings from one bottle of Liquid Detergent GAY! Does
that sound impossible to you? Then do try
it and you’ll see how economical this new
wonder-working Gay really is. You’ll find
you get more for the money with Gay than
with any other liquid or powder detergent.
Gay washes dishes—silver—glassware—so that
it shines with cleanliness! It has extra grease
cutting powers, too, and keeps your pots and
pans gleaming. Yet, because of its special
formula Gay is very gentle on your hands!
I wish you’d get a bottle of Liquid Gay -Detergent on your next order
—and share my very real enthusiasm!
Give Aladdin’s Lamps For Christmas. You know—the sort of lamp
you rub, and make a wish, and your wish
comes true! Lots of people do! Only in
the form of a holly-decorated BANK OF
MONTREAL Christmas cheque, or B of M
money order in brightly coloured envelope,
or B of M passbook—with a nice balance in
side—enclosed in a gay Christmas passbook
cover. The happy recipients of these ideal
gifts can then either purchase the objects of
their heart’s desire, or keep the money, and
add to it, in a B of M Savings Account—for •
something special later. It’s a wonderful way of making people’s wishes
come true . . . and a great solution to your own gift problems. See
your local B of M about it today!

of those who lived there when

After her grandson John was
born to Mr. and Mrs. Dick Jacob,
she was known to resident's and
staff alike as grandma and, .to
Mrs. Jacobs the residents were
always known as her boys and
