The Democrat has a lot of letter size (B%xll inches) unruled yellow paper pencil pads made up at prewar prices that it is selling at 10 cents per pad. There are about. 56 sheets to a pad; and at this price they are the biggest bargain one

can find any place. Paper is one item that has not been reduced any in price, and the prospects are that it will not be reduced anyways soonCall in and buy a good supply of these pads before the supply is exhausted.
