With the age old and equally beautiful
custom of Gift Giving at Christmastide
and all the joys of that splendid season so
very near again our thoughts just nater -
ally turn again to Christmas Gifts and
where and what to get, for we just cannot
forget our friends. From the general trend
of fashion, from the newspaper advertis-
ing and the buying public comes the ver-
dict that the jewelrystore is to be more •
popular than ever for making' gift selec-
tions. There is a distinct tread with the
buying public toward the jewelry store
both because of the wider range of gift
goods and also because jewelry is again
becoming a very popular form of personal
adornment.
Both as to regards jewelry and also the
wider range of gift goods this store will
this year excel all other years inits var
aety of Gifts that Last.
Yon are cordially welcome to come and
look around. You will like the store:
