have pointed out repeatedly the
necessity for the establishment of
such a clinic and we are going to do

WHAT'S IN \ NAME?

Many persons have an erron- sous idea about gift buying. They hold consistently to the opinion that a long established business with a reputation for dispensing goods Of excellent merit must of necessity be high priced. This opinion is manifestly incorrect. Logical reasoning will convince the most skeptical that a store whose very existence depends upon the maintenance of high stand ards of merchandise, fair prices and courteous dealings with the public will always offer the very best dollar for dollar values possi- ble. And when such a store offers a. reduction in any of it's lines, you may confidently rest assured that such reductions are bona fide and directly made as a benefit to it's patronage.
 Fairchild's Pre-Inventory Sale of fers many such reductions. Cut Glass is offered at one-third off the regular price. Many lines of silver china and precious metals are TouuCeu llct1l bSduI11ul lamps, hall clocks and cabinets are asking only half their regular price and less. Taking the com plete array of beautiful gifts in at a glance, there is here an op- portunity for gift buyers rarely possible.
