This is for You

In last weeks issue of The
Chronicle. we said that we had
more to tell you about our Christ
mas goods.
Last year we gave tickets on
holiday purchases and the plan
met with such universal approval
that we have decided to go one
better this year.
Instead of giving prize for
grown ups" there will be two
prizes one for girls and one for
boys, and they will be something
worth having.
Besides an elegant line of cut
glass and fancy china. we will
have the best and most varied as
sortment of gifts for children ever
placed on sale in La Jara. Our
Christmas lad" will appear in this
paper next week and the prizes
will be on exhibition in our show
Windows in due time.
Respectfully,
