at Rowton's store front when illumi-

the extent and variety of toys. A look
into the window will make the most
dignitied man forget his dignity and
wish himself child again. So when
the kid gets excited over the sight,
don't blame him. Mr.. Rowton buys
in car lots, so that he can supply the
Sunday schools of the county for their
Christmas trees.
