Hope your Christ
mas was as merry
as ours. We even re
ceived that new Au
to License Plate.
Every day you do
without that homo
of your own, you're
robbing yourself of
the pleasure of poss
ession and the prot
. it of a good invest
ment. We have the
'materials for a good
home.
A Sylva young lady
says she didn't give
11 him'' his present
until the day after,
then she gave 'him'
the gate. ,?
Owning your own
home is a safe and
sensible investment.
But the most prac
tical giving we've
heard of was the
young married lady
who says she ru
ceived 27 guest tow
els at her wedding
shower. Gives six
away as presents ev
ery Christmas, and
receives about four.
She has hopes to
eventually dispose
of her supply.
As this will bo the
last issue of The
Latch String, this
year, we want to
thank all our friends
and customers lor
their patronage the
past year and ex
press the wish that
1928 will be the
most prosperous and
happiest for cyerv
man, woman and
child in Jackson
County, that they
have ever had.
I
Maybe it <loesn *t
1 cost as much to own
a home as j-ou think
it docs. Have you
investigated?
