to close contact with yoske's, for l meet with
their announcements practically every day. And
of course, like everyone else in San Antonio, visit

Several weeks ago began noticing, and found
myself reading with pleasure, accounts of olden
days in San Antonio. some signed with initials,
other anonymous-but all appearing over the Joske
store name. They awakened in me fond memories,
and that deep affection which all who live in San
Antonio invariably have for the city-that feeling
which steals away from the consciousness Of man
for an occasional nap, in spite of ones loyalty.
You know what mean.
I read these accounts in all three papers. AND

conferred upon the store. So I decided to watch
how the sale functioned and how the people re-
acted to its influence.

more than a SALE!

The day came. The folks would drive down with
me, and take the car for the day. We left home
| at the wheel, and they at their plans. l was
dropped at the office, quite as excited as they
and amid my wonder there occurred to me this
thought is this sale going to precipitate orgy of
needless spending and untoward extravaganza?
Will it cause an avoidable waste to the homes of
San Antonio and surrounding territory? The
thought held me-but l had my days work to do,
so | want on-satisfied to wait and learn.
The business day over, was taken home by an
office associate who lives in my neighborhood. At
the door my wife greeted me with exultation. The
children were dressed to surprise their daddy.
Wrappings off different packages were about

hide my inquiring intent.
l kissed the children. Paid them their due COM
pliments-and amid the excitement I was shown

things for myself. Needs for the house. Apparel
for my wife, and some for mother
I knew we had been laying aside some money
to buy list of things the cooler weather brought
need for :. and wondered how much this amount
was exceeded My thoughts were evidently betrayed
by my expression, for my wife inquiringly comment
ed: "Well, DEAR guess you're afraid to ask what
l spent" In reply explained that from appear
ances quite an outlay was made.
The amount expended was mentioned and was
never pleasantly surprised in my life. At first
| suspected my wife of teasing me. but she de-
tailed her purchases: this at quarter off, that at
so much less this at such reduction, that at half
price, etc. soon understood. and I appreciated
her wisdom in buying as she did.
l understood too her confidence in Joske's and
why she postponed all shopping for the Anniversary
Sale
saw, too, why Joske's has grown to be such
large store, and why it commands the respect of all
the people, irrespective of class.
And as evening advanced, could sense the pride
a loyal citizen must have in the fact that such
worthy institution is part of his city.
And that's why l consider Joskes Anniversary
Sale-more than a sale.
