Ford City at the present time i; | sithroes of Chrlstma* Pnrlro«v_nes are arriving and departing by the hundreds. At the postofflce there is a stack of mail off every train and the parcel post boys are rushed until last night I saw one of them dragging himself home and for all the world he moved like Bobby Bums' “weary ploughman”. One foot followed the other but it was , an effort. I |Most everyone who lives in Ford City and has a package coming advises the use of parcel post. The express method In Ford City is not popular as when a fellow gets a | bundle he has to hot foot down and lug it home. If he should get a keg of nails it would cost more to have i i them hauled home than the ex-1 1 press charges. So the people are urging the use of the parcel post whenever and wherever possible. The poslt; office has a delivery system.Business bad? Now who in heck started that rumor? Yesterday Wayne Oarberry was telling me that he was having a mighty flna Christmas trade and that he was selling his higher priced toys, dolls, etc. .in greater quantity than he was selling his cheaper grades. Now would that look as if the people didn’t have the money? Take it from me it’s largely a matter of a state of mind and the merchant w-ho goes around tramping on his lower lip and looking down his nose doesn’t deserve to sell much. Oet busy, arrange stocks attractively, advertise and put the right prices on and the stuff will movev Poor Henry William Putitoff is* feeling blue today, for Christmas he has just recalled is not a week away, and Christmas calls for buying this and then for buying that, and yet, so early in the game his wallet’s almost flat. And so he wears a worried frown and wonders what he’ll do for money for the many things with which he must come through. Now William Wlsen Doit-now is wreathed today with smiles, you’ll see him reading Leader ads and busy in store aisles. He’s rignt out with the shopping crowds, he's busy buying things—and how, Oh these are very happy days for William Dottnow. The Doitnows will. celebrate with lots of Christmas cheer for hfc was wise, you see, he joined a Christmas Club last year. Poor William Henry Pptitoff intended he would do it, but day bv day, time slipped away and he did not oome to it. But Happy Wiscn Doitnow was not that sort of dunce,* he didn’t wait he went and Joined a Christmas Club at once. Most modem banks have saving clubs whose lists are open now. Don’t be a William Putitoff, but be a Wisen Doitnow,A Merry Christmas is promised * to every home by Steiner’s Meat Market with their low prices of meat. Look for their ad in thisIssue.
