We think that in the Christ- eason the heart of the peo- ples and nations speaks, and speaks with sincerity, that then there is more than at any other time an earnest desire for peace, a great reach ng forward toward the realis- ation of the words ‘* Good-will to men. We think that even if this desire and this reaching forward be often frustrated by the ambitions and jealousies of nations and indi- viciuais,bv feelings that war against the m ovings of the heart, vet these must surely have had, in the Nineteenth Century, a real efficacy and result.

A Very Merry Christmas To You.

Take our ‘‘Merry Christmas” this morning as a personal one---it is given in much the same spirit as a cheery “good morning’’ from friend to friend. But may we not speak a word of business too? Asit’s Christmas time, we'll doit in a very cordial way.

In our weekly or daily announcements in the papers we try to tell you of the store hapjcnings in much the same manner as would a personal friend. Read them, then, as though engaged in friendly conversation.

Almost daily we invite you to the storein the very same spirit as we would in asking you to pay a neighborly visit. The store is yours and in it yon may come and go at will--we never plague you to buy. Take this friendly way of serving you in heu of a personal handshake.

Yet this is a store after all, the better store for not get- ting into solid ways. ;

The ees will be closed all day Tuesday,for "twill be Christ mas dyy. If for no other reason the day's holiday is due our our help for the extra hours and effort they have given you (for us)in the past week's holiday service. Lae

The day will be theirs to enjoy---we hope it will be yours as well. Let us enjoy it in the broadest, most liberal way-- forget business ina day of good cheer.
