GIFT
Suggestions
It's fun to give something out of the ordinary, something, the others didn't think · of--and here are a few suggestive hints.
1. Autodex is a Christmas gift that's both beautiful and practical-one of the few gifts To got that will be used every day for years. a telephone number or address simply move pointer to the number'desired, push the button,
and you have it.
2. A smoking stand, or a humidor smoker will please any man who is lucky enough to get so useful a gift for Christmas! We have a wealth of clover models, interestingly priced for
holiday shoppers.
3. Give him an "electric thrill" for Christmas ! Give a Remington or Rand Shaver-a shaver
that really shaves.
