Every Nation Contributes to Our Magnificent Holiday Displays
Not merely our own great country has supplied merchandise to
complete our beautiful assemblage of holiday goodswe look beyond
domestic resources; we also seek the best foreign achievements. Kvery
country In this wide world has contributed the best they could produce
for a Christmas trade. '
It will be interesting for you to note this fact while shopping here
interesting to speculate on which nation furnished certain articles. Gen
erally it will be easily evident.
One part, of the store 13 given up to the arts, crafts and wares of the
clover little Japanese. Germany Is best represented among the toys and
dolls because in one of the mountainous districts of Germany the people
spend their every endeavor In originating and making the things the
children love.
We could write on and on, telling about the beautiful bitsjif linen,
drawn work, handkerchiefs; how they came all the way from the Timerald
Isle, sunny France and picturesque Switzerland to make your Christmas
a merry one.
But we will leave these little mysteries for you to pleasantly solve
as you can so many of your perplexing gift problems at this store. And,
during your shopping here. Isn't It quite astonishing, even wonderrul,
howsurprlslngly low most of the prices are?
