THE ALADDIN LAMP as a CHRISTMAS GIFT
One reason the Alladin sells so fast at this season
of the year is because it is so popular as a X’mas
Gift. It solves the puzzling problem“what to give”
in many a home. And this year, more than ever,
people are looking for something practical, some
thing useful, something economical.
What article so well fills these requirements as an
Aladdin?
What is there that could bring so much cheer into
the home as a good white light?
What else could be purchased for any where ne$r*,,. ;
the same price that would Be so much enjoyed oy
every member of the family? ,
Where can be found another Christmas Present
that will save enough in cost of operation to pay
for itself in a few months and at the same time ,,
renduer such a useful service to the owner?
I can give you special prices on the Aladdin Lamp i
this month. 1
