A thought on
Yuletide giving
And a few hints on how
to fill Fathers stocking

Another Christmas is rapidly rolling
around.
Another year when you have to sit
down and think--and think hard
what to give Urcle Arthur, Father,
Cousin Edward, Grandfather and the
rest.
Every maxwell, nearly every man
likes nothing better thanagoodpipe.
And the chances are that he will find
at least one hanging on the Christmas
tree and be tremendously pleased.
Right there is your opportunity to
step in and give him something to go
with the pipe.
Not an ash tray. Gle probably has
dozens of them.) Not a metal con-
tainer for safety matches. Heu
never carry the darn thing.) Send
him some tobacco. Chats what men
usually smoke in pipes.) So to Edge
worth smokers, to the friends OF
Edgeworth smokers, and to all others
who may be interested, we respect
fully offer this Christmas suggestion:
