THURSDAY AND FRIDAY January 3 and 4, ’lB DE LAVAL SERVICE DAYS AT OUR STORE For the benefit of all users of De LavaL Cream Separators we have established two De LatJcif Service Days. On these dates we shall be glad to have any De Laval user bring his separator to our store for a complete and careful inspection and adjustment, which will be made free of charge. Should any parts, due to unusual wear or accident, need to be replaced, this will be done, the only charge being for the price of the new parts used. ADe Laval Serviceman will be with us to assist with this work. Bring in your Separator and receive the benefit of his advice on the care and operation of your machine, as well as the free service. It is our wish, and that of the De Laval Company, that every user of a De .Laval Separator get the maximum of efficiency at the minimum of cost. No expert is required to keep aDe Laval in repair. A little care with the use of De Laval Separator Oil will keep it running satisfactorily for years if adjustments are made when needed.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

If a Man or Woman Should Write to Santa Claus with the Simple Faith that Children Do, the Man Would say Something like this: Dear Old Man: « For all these years you and I have been filling the stockings of the universe, you have got a heap of glory out of it and I don’t begrudge you a bit, but if it bad not been for my checkbook they’d have attached your sleigh for The folks are going to give me something this year. They always do. Tell them, won’t you, that I DO NOT WANT a snow shovel, a saw buck, bunch of flowers or a bottle of perfume. BUT THERE ARE THINGS I DO WANT —tome of them I must have, and if I get them they will save me money. I should like some new Neckties, nobody ever has enough -25 cto SI.OO and some Silk Shirts, $3.00 to $5.00, and some of those $1.50 kind. A Bathrobe would do me a lot of good, $3.50 to $6.00.

A nice pair of Gloves would come in handy. \-- And Sox—everybody wears Sox, nice lisle at 35c, and sjlk at 50c. Many a night at home I would be more comfortable in a pair of House Slippers. And (this is mighty important) if any one wants to improve my appearance, I am a candidate for a New Suit of Clothes or a New Overcoat. One of those Hart Schafner & Marx Suits or Overcoats would just fill thcbill And the Lady Would Say:I could use very nicely, one of those Palmer Garment Co. suits or a good Coat (offered now at reduced price.)
