It Will Pay Any Man Who Wants a New
Suit or Overcoat to Note These Values
At a time such as this, with Clothing shortages reported on every side, one might be tempted to regard the selling
of smart new Clothing at less than our own regular low prices as a remarkable stroke of merchandising. There's nothing
really remarkable about it when the facts are known. We simply bought liberally in order to insure ample selection for
our customers at a time when most stores waited for prices to come down. The unexpected shortage of Clothing and conse
quent "n'se" in prices found our stocks complete.
The following collection of smart new Clothing represents but a portion of our stock, and, although

Let's See How Early We
the Wonderful Toy Store To-morrow!
There will be a jolly big crowd in the Toy Store to-morrow. No doubt about that.
So, we venture this advice: Try to come before noon. Santa Claus will be ready to re
ceive his little friends at nine-thirty o'clock, at the door of his quaint little house. The
whole Toy Store glitters and glistens with its fascinating decorations and its still more
fascinating Toys a thousand different things to delight both girls and boys, and no
child should be denied tho pleasure of at least one visit to this marvelous Tov world
THE DOLL SECTION is the most- wonderful spot in this little world, in the
opinion of all little girls the Madame Hendren lifelike Dolls are very real to them, and
so, in fact, are the Bisque Character Dolls, and all the hundreds of others. Equally
fascinating are the Dolls' Clothes, Coaches and Furniture, and the Stoves, Pianos
Dishes and other things to "play house" with. '
THE BOYS will be more interested in the Construction Toys, the Mechanical
Tractors, Trains, etc., the Electrical Toys, the Boats, Wagons, Automobiles, Trick
Boxes', Drums and other big things reproduced in "boy size."
BOTH GIRLS AND BOYS love the Animals, Sleds, Blackboards, Typewriters
Games of all kinds, and the countless small Toys. '
THE GROWN FOLKS, of course, will be here with eyes and ears wide open, "listening
in" on the kiddies' confidential interviews with Santa Claus and to these we would say that some
