what you want, and that it won't BIZ
as nice as you want, if bought here
at home. Tear any ad that attracts
you out Of the paper and take 1t to
q home merchant and he'll quickly
convince you Of your error. 1t may
not be right there in stock, but no,
thing will please your home merchant
more than to order that particular
gift for you, and at price in keeping
with the one you see advertised.
There is no loyalty in buying away
from home the things you are going
to give home people for Christmas.
And neither is there economy in IL.
You have to pay express or postage
IL you order by mail, and when they
tell you that you can "save" enough
buying somewhere else to pay your
railroad fare they're merely imposing
on your ignorance. Take all this into
before you make a pur-
chase out Of town. But, above all,
ask yourself if you are loyal to your
home town if you make your living
here and then spend the money with
strangers. Think these things over
and then don't make the mistake of
spelling your Christmas by trading
any pplace but right mere at home.
