Well, it’s getting along toward that time and we want to be the first in the field to extend the an nual invitation to the buying public in this community. And do you know there is a lot of satisfaction in getting these annual purchases over with? Consider, now, m that you intend presenting your wife with a nice present on Christmas morning. Wouldn’t it be a satisfaction to SPA you if you already had it picked out and knew it was positively ready for you when Christmas comes ’round? Or, if it were for the boy or the daughter—no matter what you may be anticipating, wouldn’t it be better to speak to the dealer now, have him lay it away for you and thus rid your mind of the subject for good? There always is enough worry and hustle and bustle at the last minute in buying the articles and preparing the home for company and the big dinners to be arranged for them, without having to attend to the shopping. And then, too, you now have plenty of time to look over stocks, select what you want and not be confused by the rush that always comes with the holiday season. Just a few suggestions: FOR “HER” FOR “HIM” Kitchen Range, Heater, Carpet Sweeper, Safety Razor, Pocket Knife, Gun, Watch, Vacuum Cleaner, Carving Set, Silverware Watch Chain, Suit, Overcoat, Gloves, Stick in Single Piece or Sets, Rug, Carpet, Ring, Pin, Cuff Buttons, Socks in Boxes of Half- Watch, or Other Jewelry, Chinaware, Dozen Pairs, Handkerchiefs in Boxes of Lamp, Electric Stove, JFurs, Furniture in Dozen or Half-Dozen, Sweater, Easy Chair, Single Piece or Sets, Piano, Silk Dress, Bath Robe, House Slippers, Pipe, Smoking Toilet Articles, Suit Case, Traveling Bag, Set, Smoking Jacket, Cigar Case, Cigars, Umbrella, Etc. Magazine Subscriptions, Etc. The above list, of course, by no means represents one-half of the many articles that make ap propriate and useful gifts, that can be found in the Phillips stores, but it will give you an idea of how you could make your selections early and have the big yearly problem over with. Christmas is going to mean more to America this year than it has ever meant. It is going to be a more “ homey” Christmas than we have ever had. It is going to be a Christmas of American- Made gifts, and to all who have the interests of their own little community at heart it is going to be a Christmas of Home-Bought gifts. Home buying is home boosting, and that is what all of us should consider first. There is not an article listed above that cannot be found right here in Phil lips nor does the list claim to name all of the articles that can be bought at home. Try this plan once and you will never wait until the later days of December to do your buying. Yours for a Happy Christmas in a Peaceful, Progressive Community.
