tions to a representative of The Times
today, z. c. Minas, OF the z. G.. Minas
Co. store, said:
when you say or hear II said times

and everybody is anxious, Just let your
self feel ashamed. Has our land been
shot up? Have our homes been de-
stroyed? Our mills and factories ruin
ed? Our means of making a livelihood
withdrawn? No.
We would like TO see more Of the
old fashioned, whole-souled commun-
ity spirit here in our town. We would
be thankful, on this coming Chris tmas
day. IL we might win some small cred
1t to our account as store that stands
for American institutions. a store that
reaches out to greet and encourage good
citizenship on all occasions.
"And so, mindful of the advanta ges
that America enjoys today we urge up
on our 'neighbors' an old fashioned
Christmas spirit, for lively. sane, OLD
time trade over the holidays, trusting
you will do your part and buy the
merchandise we have assembled here
for you. The value. the beauty. the
utility and the luxury of old times is
here waiting to be turned to its right
account, in making life lovlier for our
customers.
Christmas holidays should mean a
great deal to us this year. as we ex-
change greetings and good wishes One
that the family and friends will long
remember as an old fashioned old home
