Did you read the cold weather reports
from California? Right in the orange
belt too. From 8 to IL degrees of frost,
and the average Californian has no over
coat and no place where to make fire
in the chicken coop structure in which
he lives. Oh, yes. it was 30 below here
yesterday morning, but it never hurt our
oranges bit.
The next ten days will be bargain day
in all the town stores. You see they
will BIZ taking stock soon and it is much
easier to sell a piece of goods, than to
take it down and measure it and then
put it beck on the shelf. 1t won't make
much difference what you ask for in the
wearing lines, the merchant will be glad
to let you have 1t at little less profit
than before the holidays.
