Christmas Spirit
Abroad in Fallon
Santa Claus Finds Shopping t.asy
With the Home
Merchants

Here in fallon the Santa Claus
belief runs swift and strong. Look
over the stores OF this city and the
people that come just to buy for
Christmas and help Santa Cla Is
make the world merry. Not content
with offering the people the finest
selection that can be found, the mer-
chants have decorated. Stores are
as rich In color as an autumn sunset,
and while 1t has taken time, trouble
and expense IL is part OF the Christ
mas that they are giving you. Santa
Claus has been seen every day the
past week in every store in t'allo1
and II there Is an empty stocking, be
1t outsize or infant, 1t is not the fault
OF Santa Claus or his spirit.
Over at kent's the store is decor
ated from front to side entrance, a
charming perspective as the holiday
shopper enters, while shelves, coun-
ters and stands fairly groan with the
things that have been wished for
from dad to grandma, from little
Billy to the flapper OF the family.
and 1t is all for Christmas.
Then across the street the big
store of Gray, Reid & Co. is trimmed
and festuned from alley to back
office with colors of the season,
while clerks and officials are hurry
ing about to take care OF the many
representatives OF the glorious Saint
that makes life worth living. The
only trouble is To make the selection,
as there are 80 many appropriate
ones.
One would not believe that a
butcher shop would invite attractive
ness in decoration, but II does at the
Fallon Slaughtering a. Supply mar
ket, and 1t is Christmas meats, from
a turkey to decorated joint that
makes IL seem too good TO be true.
The effort has been worth while dur
ing the day of Christmas spirit trad
Ing.
The Fallon Hardware Co. with ev-
erything from hunting equipment for
dad and the boys. to pots and pans
for mother and the girls, with toys
that delight the smaller members
and useful things on every counter,
and decorations that bring cheer, is
another OF Fallon's shops that has
been visited by Santa Claus that he
might give wisely and we'll.
Eldredge a. Hursh have decorated
In keeping with the times and their
Christmas offerings cannot be dupli-
Gated In the stores of the cities that
swelter In population. Every mem
ber OF the family can be supplied
with something worth while. 1t
would take big eatalog to tell the
world what they carry, and listen,
IL is all high grade-they do 1t that
way.
Across the street is a shop of char
acter, a place where craft counts
above dollars. Wayne Young. the
jeweler, while he decorated. he hard
ly needed IL, as his offerings are all
masterpieces. Think of it-Pickard
china, Libby cut glass, Grnen
watches, diamonds of first water,
semi-precious stones mounted as
only craftsmen do the job. and this
assortment ranges from the small
gifts of character To the highest in
art, and prices are lower than imita-
tions. No wonder Santa Claus buys
and then fingers to feast his eyes on
what more he would love to give.
The smart dresser. the man or boy
who is right up 10 the minute the
lad with the zip and go in good
clothes hunts up Saunders Smart
Shop. and he was the first to make
grotto with his decorations. Even
the girls have hunted up Fred to get
tip on the right thing to put In the
stocking. One don't go outside of
Fallon for class In dress, Saunders
has Il.
One of the Christmas marts of Fall
Ion is McLain's store. From the
Christmas tree In tie show window
to the varigated and multiple stock
OF necessities, toys and tools. Santa
Claus has not been stumped, and
there will be many a small mechanic
hammering nails in the piano before
another week passes. II is decidedly
attractive.
II is a safe statement that Santa
Claus will use more Fords than he
does sleighs this Christmas, and did
you ever stop to think that the little
OF Lizzie" has made more people
happy than a Pullman, and withal
shown them more of the world, and
the Failon Motor Sales Company is
offering special savings and easy
terms on a recent car load, and the
boys have decorated so that Santa
Claus will find II Just that much
more comfortable when he comes
after his Ford.
The Frazzini Furniture Company
last week gave you lecture on buy
Ing for permanency, and 1t is worth
listening to. This store Is carrying
every necessity for household com
fort that the family needs, from kit
chen to bed chamber, from the cellar
to the garret, and such gifts from
Santa to Mrs. Santa last indefinitely.
The store has taken on Christmas
cheer with decorations and makes II
just that much more attractive.
At Olds' Drug Store and the Rex
all are found 80 many things useful
and necessary that Santa Claus Will
have hard time making decisions
and the Christmas spirit Is exem-
