Wise People
Make useful presents

Money is wisely spent by giving
useful presents. What more use
full present than something for wear
and comfort. They last the whole
year through, and every day bring
thoughts of the giver. What COM
fort and protection they bestow,
and cost no more than foolish pres
ents, which are laid one side and
forgotten.
Our mission is to give you the
best wearables for the least money.
That is what we will do to day, to-
morrow and all the year through
from January to December.
Next week we will talk about
our Clothing for men and boys; by
the way, not SO bad for a present
either for the boy or his father.
What better than a new Overcoat.
