Wedding Presents in
the JeWelry Booth.

This Jewelry Department IS
encouraging the business OF
wedding presents. We are
encouraging it to this extent:
Furnishing a diversified stock
of gifts taking care that each
shall be just as it looks. You
may be assured, therefore,
that whatever you buy here as
a gift will not with time reveal
hidden flaws, but will ever
give pleasure and qualification
to the recipient. The impor-
lance OF this is revealed by the
condition, that often one buys
in good faith, a present on its
looks, but service and time
frequently fails to prove all
that appearances promise.
The following are the best
of their particular kind:
A Set of Six Sterling Silver
Tea Spoons for 1915.
A Set of Six Sterling Silver
Bullion Spoons for ESQ.
A Set of Six Sterling Silver
Dessert Forks for 800.
