These are typical expressions of women and men
who have visited GIFT GRANNY'S CHIMNEY
CORNER and the following are typical questions:
HOW CAN USE THE SERVICE?
You merely turn in the names and addresses of
everyone you wish to remember with gift
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE NAMES?
Every person will receive note by mail from
GIFT GRANNY asking them to send her
list of things they would like to receive with
descriptions and colors and sizes for the selec-
ton of secret inquirer. =,
THEN YOU DON'T GIVE ANYBODY MY
NAME?
Your name is entirely secret. 1t is kept here
merely so that we know to whom the replies
belong.
SUPPOSE THE OTHER PERSON MENTIONS
SOMETHING THAT COSTS MORE THAN i
WANT TO PAY?
Since giving is a universal practice, the other
person is usually very thoughtful by giving
wide range of items for selection You can
not be embarrassed because only GIFT
GRANNY knows who made the inquiry and
not even she knows whether or what you buy.
IS THERE NO CHARGE EVEN FOR "
POSTAGE?
There is no charge or obligation whatsoever.
WHEN AND HOW DO GET REPLIES? d.
Allow reasonable time for the outgoing let
ter and the reply, and then call at the Chimney
Corner.
Probably there is no problem more universal than
the gift problem. Therefore, no service should be
more universally appreciated than GIFT GRAN
NYS for GIFT GRANNY does solve the gift
problem.
