I / 1 ■ t • sipu EUllilffi ill | HF|j| TO THOSE WHOSE CHRISTMAS GIFT WAS A ‘PURSE OF GOULDE” A frequent gift in Elizabethan days was a “purse of goulde,” with which the recipient could buy whatever pleased their fancy. Christmas g i f t & o f money are often given ( even in our own times. If you have received such a gift, why not use it to purchase a Gruen Watch or Diamond? In that way you will secure lasting pleasure for yourself, in the pride which naturally goes with the possession of beautiful things. And you will impart immediate pleasure to the giver in the knowledge that you have made a wise use of his gift, and in the assurance that you will keep constantly about you for many years a fitting reminder of his good wishes. \ Pumphrey’s JEWELRY STORE vlßyjkitv 7 ' / ■ I ( 1 I I I
