Claus and all
Never has any store made more careful preparations for Christmas season than
this one. As far back as last January we-made our plans to shop early and this fore
sight and forethought has saved you many a dollar, because since then prices have
naturally advanced.
The showing covers a wide range of "Unique" and "Different" novelties that are
yet useful and practical. Customers tell us that nothing like this display has ever been
viewed in Wilmington before. That is why we urge you to do your shopping now,
because many of these unusual and highly desirable novelties will be sold out before
the heavier Christmas businsss begins.
