people have been working feverishly
this week, decorating their stores and

Say is the finest collection of Christ
mad merchandise Farmville has ever

ably priced, and that those who go
elsewhere for their purchases are
net oMy going to unnecessary travel
expense bat will probably wind up by
paying more for the items than they
would have paid if the “trade at
home” advice were followed.
