card from Walter Stallings, who has
been in France for the past several
months, but who now is in Germany
with the renowned “Army of Occupa
tion. His card was written on
Christmas night, and an extract from
the card reads: “Just arrived from
France in time to spend Christmas
day at Coblentz, Germany. I am
sure seeing some country too. I
learned to “Parly vous Francais” a
little, but I give it up now, for we are
in Germany and don’t even want to
learn that much in Dutch. I know
you all had nothing on us for Christ
mas dinner, for we had everything.”

NEW W/RTHMOR WAISTS $1.50

Y\35 WlRTHMOR Y\34 §
WAJSTS
| TTERE are a new group of Wirthmor Waists that like I
I jl.t all the Wirthmors that have preceded them are 1
* true to their name WORTH MORE. |
I Many are the features that distinguish the Wirth- I
mor from all others at the price. They have that fine- I
ness and daintiness of character that is usually incident £ ^
to higher price Blouses; they are made of quality fabrics |
and so cut as to be true to size and to fit perfectly. |
To realize just how splendid these values are we i
suggest that you find out the price of materials of which | (,
!they are made, ngure tne amount necessary tor a waist s
and try to estimate the cost of making. You’ll then |
wonder just as we do, how such waists can be made to |
f sell for a price so small. 1
The new Styles illustrated were just i
recei^gd and hut recently created. I
They are January Styles for January I »
selling, made according to the Wirth- I
mor idea of always providing the new
while it is NEW. Every Waist is of
course unconditionally guaranteed.
Wirthmor Waists can be sold in just one
good store in every city and they are sold
here only.
