FOUNDATION GARMENTS Buying: Look for that smooth and proper fit when you buy foundation garments. Light weight fabric is desirable and & garment suitable to the clothes you will wear ? for rec reation, daytime, or dress wear. The right size has much to do with comfort In wearing and the desired appearance. A wash able garment is always more practical. Avoid extra trim mings if garment is for every day wear. Repairing: Keep foundation garment in repair. The sooner repairs are made the better and longer lasting the mending job. Elastic for frayed garters and other parts is available in the stores. Use a zig-zag stitch when you patch elastic ? this helps to keep the stretch. Pro truding bones should be cover ed with cloth or plush which can be bought. PLASTIC COVERS Never-ending household uses for plastic covers! Put away your "company" china in plas tic covers ? plates come out dustless and ready for use with out another washing. Plastic covers are available in sizes to fit your washing machine, porch glider, chairs, etc. The time and energy you save, in addition to protecting finishes of furniture and equipment, is worth more than the cost of plastic covers.

The 1952 raisin crop, according to USDA reports, was the larg est since 1947.

Chevrolet trucks must be the best buy! V\ This year ? for the 12th straight production year ? truck users are buying more Chevrolet trucks than any other make. That couldn't be true unless Chevrolet trucks offered more of what you want. Already, 1953's official sales figures tell a remarkable story of clear-cut and decisive preference for Chev rolet trucks. But, this is not surprising, for truck users everywhere are discovering how far ahead of all others Chevrolet trucks really are. A public torvico program to promote safer driving. They are discovering things like the tremendous new power in advanced Load master engines in heavy-duty models . . . the remarkable gasoline economy . . . the extra ruggedness and strength of heavier, more rigid frame construction. And. in addition to all these advantages, the Chevrolet line lists for less than any other trucks of comparable size and capacity. So, before you buy any truck, stop in and see us.
