Santa Claus Drops
His Package of Toys
at Bowman's Door
In a real, honest-to-goodness airship, Santa Claus
delivered a package of toys to Bowman's this morn
ing. Over the treetops from his Castle in the
Woods, the aeroplane came sailing like a huge bird
from Fairyland. Circling about the city and around
the Capitol dome, the airship swooped down within
two hundred feet of Bowman's store and dropped a
package right in front of the door.
On his next trip we will notify you in time so you
may see how easily he delivers his toys bv the most
modern methods to the Christmas Store.
These and thousands of other pretty toys are now
to be seen in Toyland at Bowman's. Of course, the}'
are going fast. It's only nineteen shopping days
until Christmas.
Yes, We Now Have
\ yella Flannel And
And 00l Ghallies
For several seasons it has been practically
impossible to obtain Vyella flannel, as it is an
English product and during the war the makers
were busy with government contracts, thus cut
ting off the general supply. And our customers
have certainly been demanding this make of
fancy flannel, as its use is so general. For in
stance, they make most elegant and warm shirts
for men, as well as women's dresses, sacques or
kimonos, children's warm and dainty dresses.
They are specially mixed with a slight percent
age of cotton yarn to prevent shrinking; 30
inches wide; SI.BO yard.
28-inch Printed Wool Challies. Another fab
ric supplied before the war by Alsace-Lorraine.
For five years the supply has been unobtainable
until England began early this year in making a
very satisfactory Challie with the same daintv
printings of old. Now they are here and will
help you to think of something unusual for
Christmas giving. A garment pattern of this
materia] will please mother, sister or sweetheart;
27 inches wide; $1.50 yard.
