Greetings of the Season

NEXTENDING to you the manifestation
of our deep gratitude for the many favors
shown us during the present year, we de-
sire to explain to you why it is to your advan-
tage to make your purchases in our stores;
also to make known to you some of the buying
policies of our organization.
We all know that New York is not onlv the
commercial center of the United States, but
is also the commercial center of the world.
Buyers from all parts of the globe go there,
where the biggest mercantile operations are
consumated and enormous foreign loans are
negotiated, which naturally has made Of that
city the converging point for all branches of
the human industry, and constitutes in it an
emporium of activities and wealth. We too.
have in New York a purchasing office; our
man in charge makes it a point to visit daily
the offices maintained by the biggest manu-
tacturers of the country, in search of the manv
articles we need to properly supply our five
modern stores, located all through the Valley,
and thus effect purchases to our great advan-
tage, to which is due the success of our stores.
and this success has also been a factor in the
development and prosperity of this wonderful
region.
We are fortunate to find ourselves in position
to buy direct from the manufacturers in such
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1924-12-21

large quantities that entitle us to make great
concessions in prices, as it is customary with
us to pay for the goods when ordered, which
means that the operation is closed before de-
livery of the merchandise and this gives the
manufacturers the advantage of readily in
yesting their money to their profit.
Besides the services rendered bv our New
York office, our Mr.. E. Manautou finds it
necessary to make frequent business trips to
the leading manufacturing centers. to nego-
tate important contracts for the delivery of
such goods as we need, which are bought at
considerable reductions due to the volume in
volved.
These are reasons why this growing institu-
ton Is prepared to give its clientele the maxi
mum of quality in all its lines of goods at very
low prices; and this fact has made Of each Of
our stores a center Of economy in each town
where located, and a place frequented bv all
those who really value their hard earned dol
lars at their true worth.
We wish all our patrons a Merry Christmas
and New Year abundant in happiness. and
during which you may see all your wishes
realized.

Our store is full of practical gifts for the whole family.
Our Toy Department has received our careful attention
and we cordially invite you to examine our line Of me-
chanical and other toys before buying.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1924-12-21

Do your buying early and avoid the usual rush Of the late
shoppers. This gives you the opportunity to select from
a more complete stock and gives us the pleasure of serv-
ing you more efficiently.

Annual 0uatz Arts Ball Has

Americans Get In
By HARRY FLORY,
International News Service.


PARIS. June 1S.-The annual
Quatz Arts ball and Revel Of the
Beaux Arts Students traditional
affair among Parisien Bohemiafis,
came TO an end at daybreak today
after a few Of the male celebrants
had cooled their feverish brows by
jumping into the Seine river from,
a bridge which spans the stream IN
'front.' OF the Chamber of Deputies.
The calendar was turned back
twenty.one centuries to give a
Phoenician setting to the scene.
Luna Park dance hall, where the
revel took place, was decorated ito
represent the ancient city Of Tyre.
Scores OF boat prows and pier
heads had been erected to give the
appearance Of the busy harbor
front OF the great Phoenician trad.
ing port. There were mammoth
PAPER mache replicas of the Phocn-
ician gods.
Pearl White Dances.
But the gods got scant attention
after the ceremonies began at 10
O'Clock. A few lucky Americans
gained entrance including Pearl
White, the moving picture actress,
who. dressed in an abbreviated
black and gold costume with her
legs bare, danced with the students.
Dancing was made somewhat diff.
ficult owing to the great number
OF champagne bottles which Uttered
the floor, along with wigs and dis.
carded costumes.
Attention was divided between
the dancers and the beautiful girls
who posed in the nude as statues,
Sources for Phoenician historical
materials were scarce SO the stud.

spaces with these living statues.

most perfect female form.

The brunette was acclaimed

One attraction was the competi

competitions left nothing to the

Many persons were turned away
at the doors, including American
tourists who had heard Of the bal
and were anxious to see IL it was
true. Some outsiders obtained ad

but were put out by husky bouncerl

CURSE IN TUT'S
TOMB Silly
HE SAYS
Howard Carter Expects Inter-
esting Data When Body of
King Is x-Rayed

The talk about a curse being
visited upon those who enter Old
tombs in Egypt is silly" Howard
Carter, discoverer of the tomb of
King Tut-Ankh-Amen, said today in
an interview in his suite in the
Shoreham Hotel. He visited Presi-
dent Coolidge today and this and
tomorrow afternoon will lecture at
4:30 o'clock in the National Theater.
1.-THE only curse that 1 know of
is the curse of those who spread
such stories," Mr.. Carter declared,
"One may attach superstition to
anything in the world"
Despite his full mustache, Mr.
Carter has none of the typical
English appearance as popularity
accepted.
Work on King Tut's tomb will he
resumed next fall, Mr.. Carter said
but the body of the ancient king
will not be removed.
IT wouldn't even think of it," he
said, that would be carrying in
timacy with the dead too far. The
body will not be disturbed.
Mr.. Carter expects to find much
interesting data when x-rays are
made of the kings body.
1.-THE findings should do much to-
ward patching together the frag
mentary history of the king
period" he declared.
Little difficulty is expected by
Mr.. Carter in settling his differ
ences with the Egyptian govern
ment. These differences resulted
in the closing of the tomb against
further exploitation early this
month.
Mr.. Carter is in America for the
first time.
