GIFT PROBLEMS SOLVED

CHRISTMAS IS ONLY A WEEK AWAY! Everyone has yet a good half dozen` persons to remember with some token of goodwill, some gifts that will be remembered well past the Christmas season and that will serve, so to put it, as insurance against Indifference, as a good reason why you yourself will not be forgotten on numerous oc- casions throughout the coming year.
