A men’s store for women
Every year we hear the same old story about the wife
who bought her husband a many-colored tie for a
present and then expected him to wear it and have a
Merry Xmas.
Evidently that woman didn’t live in this community,
it's been our experience that it’s the women who make
the best selections. That’s one of the reasons we’ve
turned this men’s store into a store for women this
Christmas.
We have an stock of high grade clothes
and furnishings for men. There are Hart Schaffner &
Marx clothes for men and young men; stylish, all-wool;
silk shirts, hosiery, neckwear; hats.
These are just a few of the suggestions
we have to make. The services of this
store are at your disposal. Just bring
ir your shopping list.

SHOULD A WOMAN HAVE THE
SAME PRIVILEGE IN LIFE
AS A MAN?
There are a great many people in
life who have been convicted of a
criminal offense and sentenced to the
electric chair or to life imprisonment
or the gallows over the
which you will see portrayed Jtj“The
Law of Nature” which comqßto the
Op’era House Dec. 31. Wa will ask
) any family present if you would real-
ly pay for the advice and the fees of
an attorney which would keep you
from serving the remainder of your
days from behind prison bars. The
answer is told in “The Law of Na-;
ture. There has been many a home :
and many a happy family’s'
life wrecked and destroyed
through committing the same
offense which is portrayed in
“The Law of Nature.” Mr. Hob
son wishes for you to accept this pro
duction just as though he presents
and places it before you as cordially
invites every minister of the Gospel
to attend the performance and see
for themselves a picture and story
that has never before been- equalled
in any moving picture. Ministers will
be admitted free of charge to the
night performance, or the matinee, if
accompanied by some lady member of
his congregation. We sincerely hope
that they will take this opportunity
of witnessing “The Law of Nature”
by Congressman Richard Pierson
Hobson. The picture tells the story
of an offense that nine men out of
ten have committed.
