Central church was the scene of a
unique event on last Thursday evening,
when chicken supper was served by, the
male members of the church to their
wives and sweethearts. In fact, it was a
double affair. Entertainment was pro-
vided upstairs in the church auditorium
while the folks were fed below about so
at time. Singing, speaking and sacred
selections on an upto-date phonograph
supplied the appetizer" Talent from
Atlantic City and PleasantvilIe kindly as
sisted the local entertainers in their eff
forts to make the evening pleasurable-
Seasonable decorations adorned both
church and supper room. The proceeds
netted over $50.

certainly a grand success. All
day long the store was crowded
with people so that it was almost
impossible to work ones way

with the same marked success.
The bargains offered are real bar
gains and the people have real
lied the real profit that they have

the sale is still on and we can un-
hesitatingly recommend these
great opportunities to the people
for saving in buying that is sell
