BE HAPPY
Good Christmas Gifts Make
Givers Contended
There is nothing which contributes
so much towards ones happiness at |
Christmas time as satisfaction with the
presents one has purchased for his rela
[ tives and friends. The knowledge that
! you have made others happy makes you
| doubly so. This proposition is suscept
j ible of proof. It is being demonstrated
1 day after day by those men and women
, and boys and girls who buy their Christ
j mas gifts at our store. There are two
j ways of proving this Ask one of the
j happy ones who have already made their
| purchases, or come and make your
1 selections and be happy yourself.
| Our stock of diamoods, watches,
rings, nugget and other jewelry, cut
\ glass, china, souvenirs and other
| Christmas articles and our prices
speak for themselves.
