The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1928-12-13

With all the joy of the ap-
preaching yuletide season comes
the perplexities of Mr.. Average
Citizen of where he can find the
most complete lines of merchan-
disc to meet the gift-giving re-
quirements.
incidentally there are only nine
more shopping days before Christ
mas.
The Herald editor made a little
journey about the city few days
ago and found that the Sank Cen
tire merchants were apostles of
preparedness The completeness
and lavishness of merchandise
stocks especially appropriate for
the Christmas season was amaz-
ing.
In the old days gimcracks, beau
tiful to behold, but utterly useless
as far as practicability was con-
cerned, was the predominating
feature of Christmas.
Of course the novelties are car
ried by Sank Centre dealers, but
the prevalent thought in the mind
of the merchant apparently was
"practicability." And they are
| ready.
In every section there is some
outstanding city where trade
gravitates. Sank Centre with its
splendid highways, stragetic posi-
ton geographically, dependable
cream and poultry markets, is the
natural trading centre for rad
Jus of many miles.
The Black Cats, a civic organi-
cation of the young men of the
city, have lavishiy decorated the
street intersections with myraids
of electric lights with large star
in the center. The browning glory
of the decorations is the Commun-
ity tree placed in the boulevard in
the center of Main street, between
Fifth and Sixth.
Practically every standard make
of automobile and radio has a de-
pendable distributor in Sank Cen
tire.
Nothing quite so satisfies the
wife or mother as some new piece
of furniture or house furnishings.
The largest stock of dependable
furniture and house furnishings,
very reasonably priced, in Central
Minnesota, can be found in Sank
Centre.
Ladies' wearing apparel, mil
linery, dainty lingerie, hosiery, of
4 N al ion q 1u 1,nox.,,, o-J
brands, can be purcased in several
of the Sank Centre stores. The
stock and price range is so varied
as to satisfy the most fastidious
customer.
Dad and the boys can be cared
for by the splendid stocks of
clothing, sweaters, mufflers, ties,
handkerchiefs by the dealers in
this city. Price and quality GO
hand in hand.
The dainty pumps and oxfords
for the ladies and misses, the work
or dress shoe for the men, sturdy,
well-wearing shoes for the grow
ing boy, rubber goods, always de-
pendable quality, are to be found
in the Sank Centre stores.
The youngsters who have invest
tigated the gorgeous displays of
toys of the local dealers are de-
lighted. The ingenuity of the toy
maker has been given full sway
in the selection. The vogue in
toys is sturdy, most of them hav-
ing an educational, practical trend.
A gorgeous diamond or any
piece of jewelry or sterling silver,
toilet articles, fancy stationery,
christmas goods, electrical goods,
dainty, novel, up to the minute in
designs are on display in the
stores of this city.
The Christmas dinner is always
a prominent factor In every home.
Sank Centre dealers will have de-
lectable foods, fruits, meats, fowl,
pure home made confections in
abundance, and at prices that will
be appealing.
Satisfactory Christmas supplies
of every nature, from widely diver
sified stocks, can be purchased in
Sank Centre at very gratifying
saving.
On behalf of the business men
of Sank Centre the Herald urges
you to do your Christmas shopping
in this city, convinced that your
experience will be highly satisfac-
