Dear Old Santa Claus
INVITES YOU TO VISIT HIM AT HIS
HEADQUARTERS IN NENANA
AT SIMSON’S
He has taken care not to overlook any member
of the family,—and he has been fortunate in secur
ing a good assortment of Suitable Presents at prices
that will make you forget the high cost of living.
Santa Claus asked the Ad. Writer to be sure and
tell the Men all about the Sterling Silverware (at
wholesale cost price),—the Beautiful Hand-Painted f
China, the Fur Sets, the Leather-Covered Gift
Books, the Fancy Baskets, the Dresses, the Coats,
the Ladies’ Silk Sweaters ($7.50 to $25), the Silk
Stockings (all shades), the Genuine Madero Hand
kerchiefs (3 in a box), the Silk Underwear, the
large stock of Electric Table Lamps *($5.00 up), the
new shipment of Piece Goods (Silk Striped Goods
at 75c a yard), the new stock of Ribbons and,—we
could take up all the space in this newspaper with
describing the Beautiful Stock now on display here
for the Holiday Trade,—but before we close we
must say a few words about the stock of Toys, be
cause that’s really the only item that interests the
children,—Santa Claus insists that you see his
Toys,—he says everybody can afford them—(and he
ought to know).
And after you Men have bought the Presents we
will show you some of our late Hart Schaffner &
Marx and Society Brand Suits at $35 and $45 and
that new stock of Christmas Neckwear, the Silk
Sox, the Overcoats with Fur Collars ($35), the new
Sweatercoats. and the Finest Assortment of Dress
Shirts in town, which we have just received.
You are cordially invited to visit Santa Claus at
