“Morry’, the manager at our

happy the other day when he
was out bear hunting. In
Mitchell’s swamp, near DuPont,
he came face-to-face with a
nice, young, black bear. It was
a toss-up as to which was the

tailed it out of sight before

Roy Troxell stopped in at
the store the other day, after
having attended a wedding
down in Virginia. We asked
him how the bride looked and
he said, “Oh she was very
beautiful’” and in describing
her dress he explained that,
“the dress was street length or
floor level or something like
that”. Isn’t it marvelous what
men know about women’s
fashions?
Mrs. Louis Jordan came in
with Mrs. Cliff Johnson, of
Trucksville and they were look-
ing for some glassware for a
Christmas gift. Mrs. Jordan
said, “I know they have it, it's
called Ducan Hines or some-
thing like that”. ’Course what
she was really looking for was
the Currier & Ives pattern in
Libbey glassware, not the fam-
ous food expert.

Our “Ginny” sure is a char-
mer, she’s captured the hearts
of all, both children and adults.
Just the other day Mrs. Mal-
colm Kitchen came into the
store to get a “Ginny” doll as
a gift but we've been selling
them so fast that we hadn't
time to get many more into
their various costumes. As
“Winnie”. started to dress the
doll for Mrs. Kitchen she was
called to the phone and sug-
gested Mrs. Kitchen finish the
dressing of “Ginny”. Well, be-
fore she got through, Mrs.
Kitchen dressed three dolls and
had a grand time doing it. You
and your daughter or grand-
daughter will have just as
much fun with your “Ginny”
doll as Mrs. Kitchen did.

An attractive rigid, adjustable
ironing board to sit while you

stores.

Issue Posters
For Christmas
Spirits-less Office
Parties Are Urged
“What are YOU taking home this
Christmas?” is the question asked
on a poster being distributed by
the Christmas" Safety Committee in
an effort to promote “spirits-less
parties.
The choices suggested are: “a
load of presents and good cheer 7—
or just a load?”
A letter offering the poster was
mailed to 6500 business executives
throughout Pennsylvania by the
Committee's Secretary, George W.
Lewis, Jr. of Philadelphia. Referring
to the office party, the letter states
“more and more bosses are okaying
fun, food and fellowship for Christ-
mas, but keeping liquor off the
list" It is elso pointed out that
drinks are frequently the cause of
difficulties at the parties themselves
and that tragic traffic and other
accidents oft-times occur after the
parties are over.

Try Toast Rounds—At your next
party try toasted rounds of bread
spread with chopped hard-cooked
eggs and olives, moistened with
mayonnaise, suggests Marjorie J.
