CHRISTMAS GREETINGS!
ONCE again the happiest and most welcome of all our holidays draws near. With the complinents of the season to all
our readers, we ask you the question of the hour—WHAT ABOUT CHRISTMAS ? The children are asking it
with wondering and hopeful expectations of what Santa Claus is likely to bring them. The older people are asking it,
not so much in speculation legarding the remembrances that Christmas will bring to them, but rather as an inquiry as to
how they are to provide suitable and satisfactory presents for relatives and friends without too heavy a drain upon their
time and purse. May we help you to solve the problem and put you in the way of doing your Christmas shopping with
pleasure, satisfaction and economy? Our Holiday Stock, this season, embraces high priced presents, low priced presents,
useful, ornamental, or pretty; remember we have the best of the kind—and all kinds. We are offering a stock that will
meet the wants of everybody. We offer the advantage of selection that can only be found in a very extensive showing
of first-class Holiday Goods. New novelties are everywhere, and the latest and best of everything is the predominating
feature of our display for the Christmas season of 1913. We take the liberty of making a suggestion regarding the best
time to do your Christmas shopping, and earnestly urge you to do it AT ONCE. 1 here is much to lose and nothing
to gain by waiting. Come early while the pick is the choicest, avoid the crowd and make your selections at leisure and
in comfort, from a full and complete assortment. We extend a cordial invitation to all to come in and see our brilliant
array of Holiday Goods, without feeling that the slightest obligation to purchase is incurred. Hoping to see every reader
at our store at an early date, and wishing one and all a very Merry Christmas, we remain, Respectfully yours,

A Few Reasons
Why You Should Buy Your
Christmas Goods At The
Jewelry Store.
1. When a person receives a gift
with “Jewelry Store*’ ’ on the box,
it means quality.
2. Because everybody knows the
Jewelry Store is and has always
been recognized as a gift store.
3. Because jewelry can be appre
ciated by everybody.
4. Because the jeweler is always
on the lookout for new and appro
priate gifts.
5. Because it is the jeweler’s
business to keep up with the new
things for Xmas.
6. Because everything in the
Jewelry Store, from a 25c sterling
silver thimble to a $500.00 diamond
is guaranteed.
7. Because you can buy high
class goods suitable for the whole
family, from baby to grandma, at
the Jewelry Store in Cochran, as
cheap as you can inferior goods else
where.
Christmas Presents for
the Whole Family at
Moderate Prices
It matters little whether you want
to spend merely one dollar or two
or several dollars. We are well
prepared to satisfy your require
ments, and those people who appre
ciate the value of a dollar would do
themselves a great injustice to con
sider the buying of Christmas, gifts
without first seeing what we have
to offer.
We buy our goods direct from
the manufacturer and by doing this
can sell for less.
