Christmas Values
On Sale at Harn's
Variety Store
For two weeks Harn’s Variety
Store in Pembroke will have on
sale values and bargains that will
make Christmas shopping easier
for the people of the Pembroke
trade area. A trip to the attrac
tive store owned by J. Dixie Harn
will be an important reason for
early Christmas shopping.
The many fine items on sale j
will be bought by wise Christmas ।
shoppers who can rejoice later on ।
that they took advantage of such
good prices. Those who do not
wish to purchase articles now can
use Harn’s Lay-Away Plan so as
to be sure someone else will not
get the merchandise. Harn’s
Variety Store has been an insti
tution in Pembroke for many years
and people have come to depend
on the store as a place where fine
stock at low prices can be obtained.
Mr. Harn has made an effort to
make a “One-Stop Christmas
Store,” and his success is proven
by the variety of merchandise
available at reasonable prices.
Gift Wrapping at the Christmas
season and at any other time is an
extra service offered at Harn’s
Variety Store. Clerks are trained
by Mr. Harn for helpful, courteous
and efficient service, always keep
ing the welfare of the customer in
mind.
Last year Mr. Harn enlarged
his store to include “two stores
in one.” One section of his store
is used for the display of toys,
the attractive arrangement being
very appealing to youngsters. He
invites parents to bring their chil
dren to Toy Land so that they
might be better able to find out
just what to tell Santa Claus to
deliver on Christmas morning.
The bargains advertised in this
week’s Pembroke Journal will be
available for at least two weeks.
Customers, however, are warned
not to wait until the last minute
to purchase them because at the
low, low prices Mr. Harn has set,
a quick turn-over is sure.

president of the county chapter,

It Could Be You
You might say that our Lucky
Lady of this week is a Hello Girl
because of the work she does.
There is also a possibility that she
is one of the youngest grand
mothers in Pembroke. Which also
calls for a young grandfather, of
course, but we aren’t concerned;
with him, especially since if there
is one man in the city who does
not need his hair curled, it is this
Lady’s husband. The couple, who
live in an attractive bungalow
near Pembroke, have two daugh
ters. One is the mother of the
two grandchildren and the marital
status of the other is single as
of this date.
If this lady will call HELEN’S
BEAUTY SHOP, 3-2171, and iden
tify herself, an appointment will
be made for a complimentary
shampoo and set.

PEMBROKE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1960
Authorities to
Enforce Law on
Fire Works
Bryan County Sheriff Kyle D.
Smith and Mayor Frank O. Miller
have announced that county and
city authorities have been order
ed to bear down on violations of
the fire works law.
Sheriff Smith said that it is a
violation of the state and county
laws to sell fire wrks or to have
any on the person. Mayor Miller
concurs that the same holds true
for the City of Pembroke.
The fire works law is being en
forced for the protection of life
and limb of individuals. Every
year around Christmas several
people are injured, some crippled
for life, because of fire crackers
or other fire works. Protection
of life is an important part of
the work of officers and one that
Bryan and City authorities take
seriously.
The cooperation of parents,
young people and the public in
general is requested in the control
of this dangerous practice. Obey
the law now so that there will
be no regrets later.
