Like the music OF yeSCeryear,
we're going round and round
amid the glitter and gayety of
Redwood Falls shops.
And please believe us, that fus-
sy business of picking out a gift
for even fussier Aunt Ella just
isn't what it used to be, what with
the variety, quality and attrac-
tiveness of practically everything
on practically every counter in
town.
Speaking of yesteryear, you
simply must see. if you've
yen for the quaint, the antique,
the charming the darling
old rings the Hillig brothers have
dug up from their dusty vaults,
polished and put on the holiday
market. It was a secret between
us and the Hillig brothers (before
we told you) that the rings really
are old stock. It's no secret,
2 Z, however, that it's sim
Fta ply grand larceny to
Tx E get them from the
ER MM Hillig brothers at. SIS

dainty garnet flower
one. that has a real diamond
in the center and Clem demands
So for it). If you're an old brav-i
ey who puts thumb to nose at su-
perstition, we'd advise you to ask
Santa for the one with three
glowing opals separated by tiny
seed pearls. Or if you believe in
bogeys and banshees demand an
amythyst or topaz =. You'll
find them located directly under
Clarence's proud index finger.
Another antique effect for re-
dictionary fenoinists is the gold
bracelet aeith black enamel trGc-
ings (the kind grandmother left to
that mean old Uncle Hopard's
,oife). About S6 to them as has it.

A miniature Mexican who's
come down off his horse to serve
you hors d'oeuvres, features the
display of imported pottery at the
Edna Lee shop. Small holes in
his bright yellow sombrero are for
the toothpicks that olives and
fancy little bread rolls grow on,
