‘Want it Charged?’

best VALUE-GIVING 'stores In
Atlanta. We are doing 1 more business

big New York store which offered to
open CHARGE ACCOUNTS for RE
SPONSIBLE parties. We wonder what
they meant! ’

offer. We say: “THE FAIR will glad
ly open CHARGE ACCOUNTS for all.
nice people, whether they are rich or
