The Money-Back Jtwvlrv Store THE POPULAR GIFTS <1 The day of the gaudy gift has waned. This is the age of sensible gift-giving —the gift that not only posseses refinement, but affords to the recipient lasting pleasure in every day utility. €J And this popularity of the practical gift was one of the things that was kept up permost in mind in selecting our stocks. Then, too, we remembered that there is more than one gift to buy, necessitating modest pricing, and last, but not least, * that each article in our stock must stand the test of our Unrestricted Money- Back Guarantee. €][ And of those things that conformed to these specifications we bought gener- # ously, with the result that this Christmas season we are able to present to you the* most extensive and meritorious selection of practical gift articles in the forty eight years' history of this store.
