We want you to read the ad of
VIM. Johnson & Son in this issue of
The Herald and News. 1t is worth
while. Through it you will be in
touch with Headquarters for high
class hardware" as they tell you.
Among the various and numerous
articles they handle in their first
class lines are to be found fine
razors of the different makes, to
which your particular attention lis
called during these approaching
Christmas holidays when presents
will be appropriate and acceptable,
good for both receiver and giver. But
at is more blessed to give than to
receive" Johnson & Son have many
suitable presents, for Christmas,
weddings, births and other celebra-
tons. They have things in their
store that are needed for people who
have to move and for people who
have to stay where they are. In the
present state of the high cost of liv-
ing, whether you have to move or not,
especially when you have not, what is
more appropriate as Christmas or
New Years present to-a man or near
man than a good safety razor? When
you give a fellow present you want
to give him something not only useful
but thing that will save him money.
But look at the list of articles men
toned in the ad.
