How About HIM?
For he has been a jolly good fellow through
it all. Tending to his own business hustling out
to buy gifts for others and footing all bills with
a smile. Maybe he hasn't stopped to think of his
own needs his mind has been too full of making
other people happy. You may call him "Dad,"
you may call him "Hubby," or you may call him
"Brother" but the finest thing you could give
him, the gift which will surely warm the cockles
of his heart', the gift he DESERVES would be
one of these
Fur-lined or Fur-Collar Overcoats which are now
reduced in price. Formerly $65.00 to $350.00
now $49.00 to $245.00.
Separate Evening or Fancy Vests; Evening Dress Clothes,
Raincoats and many other clothing gifts can be had here quickly.
