\ USEFUL, ap-
~ propriate and
thoroughly ac-
ceptable Christmas gift
for a lady or gentleman
is a good Silk Umbrella.
You can't go wrong in
sending your friend an
Umbrella because, unlike
anything else that we
know of, one can never
have too many of them.
You don't have to give
up a ten dollar bill to get
a first class one nova
days, the time was when
you did. Say five dol
lars that's not an ex-
travagant price to pay
for a present to some one
of whom you're fond and
you can pay one dollar or
two dollars less than that
and still get one that you
wouldn't be ashamed to
send your card with.
Our stock this year
abounds with the medi-
um priced ones and
there's a better line of
them and much better
values than we've ever
been able to offer before.
No job lots in this UNI
brella stock, every ham
die is carefully selected,
compared, examined and
thought about before it
ever finds a place on our
counter. The silk is, of
course, subject to the
most rigid examination
and test,-that's under-
stood, so you cal. safely
take the first one your
hand rests on with per-
feet assurance that the
Umbrella is all that it
should be.
Umbrellas for distant
friends may be left here
to be packed and shipped
and we make no charge
for the service.
