That Christmas Dinner
Is Just Nine Days Off
The Christmas spirit, as it is exhibited in the gifts of those whose
wealth permits them to be lavish,' or the less favored ones whose token
of remembrance may be only a card with a message of love, although
just as acceptable, is more readily felt, recalled and appreciated, as we
sit down together to the Family Christmas Dinner.
In order to make that meal of all meals a positive success, buy
your supplies at an American Store ; insuring that certainty of satisfac
tion that is peculiar to everything we sell.
Our goods are not only FRESH, and our standard the
HIGHEST, but our PRICES are always consistently LOW, con
sidering the quality merchandise we handle.
