A .Beautiful Drama
IN THE calendar of gift seasons Christmas stands pre
eminent. At this time all tho civilized world seeks ex
pression in giving. The true gift is but au expression in
material form of the thoughts and sentiments we hold
for others. Tho gift essence lies in what it expresses ot our
capacity for sympathy and understanding of those to whom
we bring gifts.
And is not this gift time attended with especial gladness
just because it is a form of self expression a releasing from
that restraint of every day affairs which withholds expression
of those sentiments that lie nearest the heart. Unspoken
thoughts and desires we have for friends and loved ones, tlif
' ficult to convey in any other way, may find their expression
in Yuletide gifts.
The Brandels Store deems It a privilege to play Its part in the
beautiful drama of Christmas giving and for that purpose you will
find this store filled with attractive things from near and far In which
to embody your Christmas thoughts.
So may this gift-time inspire each of us to give freely and abun
dantly, but above an, let us give witn understanding.
