              Big Dance at
Men's Club
Frida y Evening
So successful was the first Mid-Winter
Dance that was held at the-Hershey Men's
Club several weeks ago, that, owing to the
popular demand, another one will be held
on Friday evening of this week.
The committee of arrangements have
spared no expense in which to surpass their
previous efforts, and as a result the orches-tra
furnishing the music on Friday evening,
will be a jim-dandy. The musicians will
be seven in number, and they are the cream
of Phil. Fisher's Peerless Orchestra. These
lads certainly can syncopate a joyful
medley that makes the most blase of
modern dancers keep a stepping whether
they are so inclined or not.
As last time, a crowded floor is antici-pated
, and the committee promises every-one
attending on Friday evening, a regular,
honest-to-goodness good time.
Join the crowd on Friday evening, and
by so doing help swell the treasury of the
Hershey baseball team. Admission, 50
cents.
There will be "eats."
At Last , "Hunchback
of Notre Dame" to
be Shown Sere
Af ter months of readin g of the greatness
of Universale "Hunchback of Notre
Dame," Hershey will have a chance to see
this classic, as it is booked for showing at
the Hershey Central Theatre on Friday
and Saturday, Feb. 20th and 21st.
The engagement will be limited to two
days. Lon Chaney is the star and his
interpretation of the role of "Quasimodo"
is said to be the greatest piece of work that
he has ever accomplished.
The cast is one of the finest ever gathered
together and includes such well-known
artists as Ernest Torrence, Patsy Ruth
Miller, Nigel de Brulier , Brandon Hurst,
Kate Lester, Gladys Brockwell, Eulalie
Jensen, Tully Marshall and John Cossar.
The entire production was made at
Universal City, Calif ornia , and is the
crowning achievement in a long list of
superlatively fine film productions made
by Carl Laemmle.
Miss Verna Mae

The apartment of Dr. and Mrs. Charles
Evans, of Lebanon, was the scene of a very
pretty party Friday evening at which time
the engagement of Miss Verna Mae Her-shey
and Henry Kuntzelman was an-nounced.
The table was very appropriately deco-rated
for a Valentine Party. The an-nouncement
was made in a rather unique
way. Immediately following the luncheon
each guest was given a cross word puzzle in
which the news was concealed. No date
has been set for the wedding. The guests
included Verna M. Hershey, Helen Her-shey,
Lucia Jones, Lydia and Kathryn
Weltmer, Harry Hocker, Harold Risser,
Henry Kuntzelman and Dr. and Mrs.

Hershe y Travelers

team went down to defeat at the hands
of the fast going Hershey Travelers on
Friday evening, Feb. 6th , on the Men's
Club floor , before a lar ge and enthusiastic
crowd of rooters, by the one-sided score of
54 to :!6. The Travelers displayed the
beat brand of basketball which they have
exhibited this season. The passing and
shooting was accurate at nil limes. The
Scranton team came here with a enviable
record to their credit and the local team
can feel justly proud of defeating this com-bination.

Hershe y Boy Scout
Movement Shows
Splendid Gain
Scouting has made rapid strides in
Hershey during the. past few months. The
credit for the development in the work goes
to Alex. Magrini, who has given untirinl gy
of his time, ability and energy to further
the cause.
When Mr. Magrini took hold of this
work a little less than a year ago, organiz-ing
the Scout movement in Hershey, he
found little or no encouragement. Un-daunted,
he undertook the work, and the
movement finds Hershey with a Troop
second to none. Hershey is indeed
fortunate to have a Boy Scout Troop with
such a leader as Alex. Magrini. Hershey
can show its appreciation in many ways,
but lending a helping hand and a word of
encouragement is the best way.
Mr. Magrini did a good deed when he
organized a Boy Scout Troop. There is
room for other troops in the town, but?
there is a lack of scoutmasters—clean, self-reliant,
young leaders who can organize
and build up a troop. This is the biggest
handicap Scouting has everywhere, and
Hershey is no exception.
Tuesday was the fifteenth anniversary
of the founding of the Boy Scout move-ments
which was founded by Sir Robert
Baden-Powell, an English general, right
after the British-Boer War, in which he
served with distinction. The idea of
scouting was born through an interesting
circumstance. Recruits sent to General
Baden-Powell from England were found
utterly unable to take care of themselves
in the open. The General began their
training by a series of experiments that
later developed into the Boy Scout pro-gram.
He is today known as the Chief
Scou^x>f. the, World.
--The" scouts have grown to be a mighty
organization in the 15 years of their exist-ence
in this country. Today there are
21,922 troops, with a membership of
542,218 scouts, with 154,053 adult volun-teer
leaders. There are 2,000,000 men in
the United States who are former scouts,
and the program of the week had for its
working slogan, "Once a Scout, Always a
Scout," with the keynote of its purpose the
renewal of the scout associations of these
former members.
The following are among the major
objectives of the scout movement.
To promote, through organization, and
co-operation with other agencies, the
ability of boys to do things for themselves
and others, to train them in Scoutcraft,
and to teach them patriotism, courage,
self-reliance and kindred virtues, using the
methods which are now in common use by
Boy Scouts by placing emphasis on the
Scout Oath and Law for character-develop-ment,
citizenship-training and physical
fitness.
To reach with a high quality of leader-ship
the utmost number of boys.
To hold permanently in the membership
in some capacity, every boy who joins a
troop.
To persistently enroll new scouts and
find places for them in troops.
To secure steady advance by scouts
toward the rank of Eagle Scout.
To secure for every boy opportunities
for a large measure of educational and
recreational outdoor activity particularly
hikes, over-night camps, and participation
in standardized Boy Scout summer and
winter camps.
To have every scout properly uniformed
as a help to him and an aid in maintaining
public interests in him as a scout.
To maintain conditions so that boys
actually intensely desire to be scouts and
so that men are willing to give volunteer
service as scoutmasters, assistant scout-masters,
troop committee men and mem-bers
of local councils.
Last, but yet first, to promote the Daily
Good Turn and Troop Civic Service and
Community Betterment Good Turn,
Travelers Avenge
Former Defeat
On Wednesday evening, Feb. 4th , the
Hershey Travelers defeated the Berks
team, of Lebanon , by the score of 26 to
25, in the most s|j ectacular game seen on
the Men's Club floor this season. The
Berks boys started off with a rush , and
assumed a four point lead , which the
Travelers managed to cut to two by half
time. The beginning of the second half
was a repetition of the proceeding one.
With ten minutes left to play, the Trave-lers
called time out , and when play was
resumed they started to cut into the
Berks lead until the score was tied. From
then on until the last minute of play, f irst
one and then the other team would forge
into the lead. With one minute lef t ,
Berks was leadin g by one point, when
Fasnacht shot a sensational field goal,
annexing the game for the Travelers .
Almost immediately after the next tap-off ,
the whistle blew ending the game.
In picking out the stars of the game,
there was one who towered nlxive the
others, who played so hard that at the
finish of the game it wan necessary to carry
him off the (l<x>r , due to his exhausted
condition , and that was Hair y Fasnacht .
"Fausty " was in every play, both de-fensively
nnd offensively, nineteen of the
Travelers jx>intH going to his credit. For
the Berks team, Mentzer, Dissinger and
Deck were the stars.

J. Hallgren Vividly Describes
His Tri p to the Holy Lands
After a whole night s travel from Jaffa I for his return trip to Jaffa. We paid him
to Arimathea, over the plain of Sharon and
through the valley of Ajolort our three-horse
bus very early on a crisp November
morning reached the top of a high hill
from where .;the road went in numerous
zigzag curves down in a deep valley to a
little bridge over the creek Kidron, where
we stopped to water the horses and where
we in the meantime refreshed ourselves
with a cup of tea in a little shack labeled
"Hotel." The present name of the place
is Ammoaz and is known from the Gospel
of St. Luke as Emaus. Here it was where
David gathered small stones for his fight
with Goliath and as a commemoration
thereof the Russian pilgrims today gather
and carry with them home as souvenirs
small f lat stones f rom the bottom of the
creek.
After half an hour's rest we resumed our
journey, all wide awake and exceedingly
anxious to get the first glimpse of the great,
famous and perhaps the world's oldest
city to-day, Jerusalem, which has passed
through periods of unparalell pride and
glory, stages of indescribable misery and
scenes of earthly Hell.
The road was steadily ascending among
the mountains, a cool morning breeze was
doing its best to dampen our enthusiasm,
but the rising sun throwing its golden rays
over the floating clouds made us feel
inspired as the crusaders of old, who
hundreds of years ago tramped this same
road . What a tremendous travel and
varied history this road has passed through
in its existence! Here came the Roman
cohorts with their soldiers, horses -and
chariots! The hundreds of thousands of
crusaders, the Mohammedan conquerors
and today the thousands of pilgrims, who
make it their life's aim and goal to see
Jerusalem and pray at the sacred me-morials
and last but not least the inter-country
travel for the past 3000 or 4000
years!
After a long uphill drive we suddenly
passed through the suburb of the city,
situated on the hills where the Roman
Emperor Titus had his headquarters when
he besieged and destroyed the city 70 A.
D., and not very far away the great old
western wall flared in the morning sun as a
stretch of unbleached circus canvas. Most
of the buildings here are comparatively
new and in European style and a few
modern hotels are also here situated for
the benefit and comfort of wealthy travel-ers.
We proceeded , however, to the Jaffa-gate,
near the tower of Zion, where the
driver stopped at one of the caravansaries
to feed and rest his horses and get ready
3 midjidies and lugged our belongings
with us up to Khan Copti in the western
part of the City within the wall, where we
got a "furnished room" with light for 4
piaster per day, i. e., about 15 cents in U.
S. coin, and as we were three to share the
burden it amounted to 5c per day individ-ually.
But the furnishing was a la Turque,
two matting rugs and a water jug", and the
coveted privilege of free light meant free
oil for a little greasy kerosene lamp. A
little iron gratin g served as a window and
ventilator and down below in the yard was
a concrete waterbasin , its surface, covered
with duckweed and pondweed. From
this little den we made our excursions over
the city and the surrounding country and
here in the evenings on the grass rugs
around that little lamp we were jotting
down our observations and experience of
our daily tramps.
The city is in regard to layout and style
of building strictly oriental, with narrow,
ugly alleys and winding paths; only a few
thoroughfares deserving the names of
streets but there the traffic was limited to
travelers on foot and riders on camels and
donkeys, only an occasional bus or carria ge
now and then was seen to pass through the
great multitudes of all nations that rolls
steadily back and forward as the strollers
on a boardwalk.
First among the sacred spots we visited
was the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, its
cupola arising in the western part of the
city. Its exterior is dull and gray but
impressive and in its interior has the
Catholic tradition placed the .most im-portant
events in the drama of the suffer-ings
of Christ. We descend a few steps
and stop at the entrance involved in the
mysterious twilight and the chilly at-mosphere
from inside. All daylight is
from here excluded and hundreds of wax-candles
supply the illumination, some
lights having been kept burning for cen-turies
back.
A moment never to be forgotten is the
rehearsing of the Catholic mass, read in
chorus by Franciscan monks, audibly over
the whole church. The praying multitude
is standing still until they finish when the
monks give everyone a lit candle. The
incense is ignited by an old priest and
everybody falls to the floor and kisses the
old flagstones. Then a procession is
formed , led by the priest and the monks
and prayers repeated at every sacred nook
and corner where tradition has placed a
happening or an incident in the mournful
story of the Redeemer.
At last we are going up the steps to a
large balcony called Mount Cavalry or
Golgotha. The song of the choir vibrates
lamenting and mournful and holds the
same strain while we descend and stop
while the incense is burned before a rectan-gular
pinkish marbleslab on which Christ
is supposed to have been embalmed after
taken down from the cross.
We proceed now to the tomb from where
he is said to have arisen after 3 days and 3
nights and now the downcast features of
the pilgrims are suddenly changing to
happiness and the hymn of sorrow and
lamentation is followed by an aria of joy
and praise. Again the multitude goes
down on the knees kissing the floor and
then scatters giving room f or another
audience following in their footsteps. In
spite of this church being considered as the
Sanctum Sanctissimum of Christianity
many a regretful occurence takes place
from fanatical jealousy between the
different sects whb enjoy the freedom of
their ceremonies at fixed hours daily,
witnessed and stopped by the Mohamme-dan
soldiers, who silent and still are placed
on guard to prevent bloodshed.
As we emerged from the cool and damp
edifice the heat outside felt rather oppres-sive
but we proceeded to the Mosque of
Omar, one of the most ornamental of
Mohammedan sanctuaries and said to be
situated on the same place where once
stood the famous temple of Solomon in its
wonderful glory and also on the rock that
most likely did contain the tomb of Christ,
but we had no opportunity now to get a
glimpse of the interior so we continued to
the place of lamentation in the old city
wall where the Jews every Friday came
together to cry and pray to Jehovah for
the redemption of Canaan to the tribes of
Israel. It is a heartrendering and miser-able
spectacle to see the old Jews in their
long coats and furtrimmed caps tearfully
reading the Scriptures rocking their bodies
back and forward while the women with a
loose shawl over their shoulders are kiss-ing
the old wallstones in their wailings.
Even the gold has for this moment lost its
attraction and a proffered coin is scornfully
refused.
Leaving here, we passed through the
Via Dolorosa (the road of sufferings)
where Christ carried his cross on his way
to Golgotha. On an old building where
he was sentenced by Pontius Pilatus the
following inscription is read: "Ad arcum
ecce homo, ubi Pilatus Christum Judaeis
tradidit , ut cruet ficeretur." Through the
strolling mass of humanity we continued
out through the Jaffa-gate to get a survey
over the surroundings.
(Concluded Next Week)
Buck Jones in "The
Man Who Played
Square " Tuesda y
In what will go down in motion picture
annals as his very best picture, according
to the claims of William Fox and his
associates. Buck Jones the popular western
star, will be seen at the Hershey Central
Theatre on Tuesday evening, Feb. 17th,
at 7.30 o'clock. This new release is
called "The Man Who Played Square" and
it is described as "a classic in thrilling
romantic melodrama," and, it is said to
provide the good-looking Buck with more
opportunities for ingratiating acting, ex-citing
fighting and daredevil riding than
any of his previous pictures. It is a story
of the most stirring days in the gold-mining
country of Northern California and
it has to do with a he-man's battle royal
against the great odds of veritable packs of
bru te-men of every description and pro-pensity.
William Wallace Cook is the author of
the story and Al Santell directed the
picture. An unusually brilliant cast has
been assembled for the production, notably
with Wanda Hawley in the leading femi-nine
role and with Hank Mann delineating
a comedy character of wide appeal with
consummate finesse. David "Red" Kirby
also distinguishes himself , it is said , with
one of his best villainous characterizations.
Ben Hendricks, William Scott and Howard
Foster have the other principal roles.
The outstanding features of this pro-duction
, according to advance reports,
are the remarkable fights Jones has with
various strong adversaries, his daring
horsemanship and the charm of a romance
such as is seldom undertaken in a western
film. The comedy element has not been
neglected either and it is promised there
will be plenty of occasions for the heartiest
kind of laughter , provoked chiefly by
I lank Mann, who long since won a world-wide
fame as a comedian per excellence.

Big Scare at
Department Store
On Tuesday
Tuesday, the tenth, will always be
remembered by H. W. Geesey of the Hard-ware
Department as one' of the most ex-citing
in his varied career. It was the
noon hour rush, and the department was
busy filling the needsof itsmany customers.
There was nothing unusual in the air to
give warning that anything out of the
ordinary was to take place. But this
story, by good rights, belongs to Mr.
Geesey, so we shall let him tell it:
"Well, sir, I had just filled a coal oil can
and was ringing up the sale when Shorty
Hostetter nudged me, and motioned in the
direction of the new electric washer we are
demonstrating. There I saw two men, of
tough appearance, apparently much in-terested
in the workings of the washer.
But they didn 't fool me. I could tell by
their suspicious actions and their whispered
consultation that they were up to some
kind of dirty work, and my eye was quick
enough to see that both of them had arms.
1 went on with my work as usual, but 1
sent David Buck out through the Drug
Store to call Chief Lafferty. Just about
the time I figured the dirty work was going
to be pulled off , an officer of the law was
on the job. I never saw two men more
taken aback. The biggest one fled , but
the other, a short chunky fellow in a
brown overcoa t, stood his ground.
"Come with me," said Lafferty, "and
don 't open your mouth, or I'll crown you."
"By this time the man in the brown
overcoat had lost most of his tough ap-pearance,
and he began to plead with the
officer to let him go.
"Here ," he said, "I ain 't done nothin ,"
and he handed Officer Six Sixt y Six a g<xxl
cigar. Six Sixty Six examined the hand
careful , saw the cigar was a Golden Lion ,
and filed it away in his pocket to be used as
evidence. Then he took the man's name,
which he gave as Hen Spangler , of Mount
Pleasant, who wants to know. The name
and address Six-Sixty-Six wrote in his note
book.
"By this time quite a crowd had gath-ered
and some expressed the opinion that
the stranger should be disarmed. To this
the man objected on the ground that his
occu pation was such that he must use
both arms every day. He was then re-leased.
"No trace has been found of his com-panion.
It is not known what action will
be taken on the case, but we presume Mr.
Spangler will be arrainged in the spring at
the first session of the Tennis Court."
Mrs. Herman Luckcnbnugc, Iuisl 2nd
street, Iliimmelstown, was hostess at a
dinner parly on Feb. 4th. In keeping
with the Valentine season favors were
given in the form of small hearts in which
were concealed the announcement of the

Gloria Swanson in
"Manhan dled" on
Saturda y Evening
"Manhandled," Gloria Swanson's new
Paramount picture, which comes to the
Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday
evening, Feb. 14th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock,
was produced by Allan Dwan from Frank
Tuttle's adaptation of Arthur Stringer 's
story that ran serially in The Saturday
Evening Post. Miss Swanson has the role
of a shop girl in a department store, whose
desire for beautiful clothes and a so-called
good time leads her into free and easy
contact with so many men that her reputa-tion
is tarnished. She learns that the love
of good man is more precious than ex-pensive
jewelry and gorgeous furs.
In preparation for the part Gloria spent
several strenuous days of closeup study of
how shop girls in New York live. She
worked for a day in one of New York's
largest departments, rode in the subway,
ate her meals in a boarding house and went
through the general routine the average
sliop girl follows during the day.
Mr. Dwan has surrounded Miss Swan-son
with an excellent cast for this picture.
Tom Moore plays a mechanic, and others
in support are Lilyan Tashman, Frank
Morgan, Ian Keith , Paul McAllister ,
Frank Allworth , Carrie Scott , and Arthur
Housman. Ann Pennington and Brooke
Johns are also a part of the cast and furnish
some very lively film entertainment.

Every column, whether read by millions
or by only a few hundred thousand, should
strive to point a moral. The moral should
be well concealed beneath a surface of
pleasantry and so-called humor. Every
tale should have a moral, and every kite
should have a tail. Economy is the tail
of the kite. Prosperity. If Prosperity be
not attended by Economy, then Prosperity
staggers and falls. That is why we feel it
our duty to insert this little editorial, or
what-you-may-call-it. When we have
finished we hope you will never again take
exception to the statement, "A penny
saved is one (1) cent earned."
You may have thought, previous to
reading this what-you-may-call-it, that
economy was invented by Cal. Coolidge ;
but, as a matter of fact, economy has been
practised from the beginnings of the race,
tn the early days, we are told, men and
women were very sparing in the use of
water. They used very little, either for
bathing or for drinking.
But we need not stir the ashes of the
dead to find examples of economy.
In 1925, we have the woman who boasts
of having used the same broom for seven-teen
years. She says the broom is still as
good as new. While we may not admire
her housekeeping, we certainly must hand
it to her lor being economical.
Let us not forget Cyrus Higgins, who
has worn the suspenders he was married
in ever since that fatal day, fourteen years
ago. Cyrus smokes' ten ten-cent cigars
a day. Whenever his wife suggests a new
piece of furniture it is his delight to men-tion
the fact that he has not had a new
pair of suspenders since he got hooked up.
But the man who had economy down to
a fine art was old Clint Smith. One day
he, and his boy, Clint, Jr., brought the
week's laying of eggs to the general store.
As the clerk was counting them out, his
girl came in the door, and in his excitement
he let fall a hen fruit.
"There goes three cents," said Clint, Sr.,
with a groan.
"Look, papa," said Clint, Jr., "eggs is
yaller on the inside, ain't they?"
This last mentioned anecdote is gospel,
as we were in the store at the time, and if
the good guardian of the gate himself were
to question me on the subject, I would
raise my right hand, and my left, if he so
insisted, and as he asked, "E)o you swear?"
I would say, "occasiona lly."
Now, if Cal. Coolidge gets the govern-ment
economy proposition down as fine as
Clint Smith, Sr., we will all rise, and in one
voice acclaim him the champion long
distance economizer of all time.
Auto Fever
The motor cars go speeding by,
And how I wish that I was in 'em,
It fills me full of envy green
And makes me sort of sot agin 'em.
I hate to see the neighbor's folks
Ride out while I am home a-grubbin ',
I'm jealous like and I've a mind
To try and trade my old boss. Stub, in.
If they will take old Stub in trade
For a go-devil, 1 will swap him,
And in the bargain I'll agree
To show them how to start and stop
him.
In one of those flights of fancy where
the mind outstrips the body, we walked
the streets of Hershey, and in pensive
mood, beheld the wonders of Nature and
Art therein. We beheld the historic
Spring Creek, the stately mansions, the
huge chocolate factory ; and about this
time it would seem, as. above suggested,
our mind began to outstrip our physical
powers, and we soared high in the air. We
were propelled by one of those new-fangled
airplanes which can be strapped on the
back. We tacked and veered , careened
and hovered above the town for sometime,
and the view was much better than can be
had from one of Yost's planes.
But our joy was not to last for long.
The motor coughed, and expired. We
tugged frantically at the parachute, but
the thing wouldn't open. We had what
is sometimes described as a sinking feeling.
We met our end in a rather ajj cctacular
manner. As we came hurtling down
through the sky, our collegiate trousers
fil led with air and swelled out to immense
proix>rtions. We were falling straight for
one of the Hershey chimneys. Already
we could feel ourselves cracking against
the top, or worse fate yet, falling directly
into it. Nearer and nearer and nearer.
Then
Stopl!
It seemed our neck was broken, so
quickly was our descent cut off. The
aforementioned collegiate trousers had
caught by the seat on one of the lightning
rods which adorn the to]) of the smoke-stack.
There we hung (or is it hanged),
saved by a miracle and a pair of trousers,
whil e the smoke curled calmly round.
We saw below us a large electric sign
which flashed on and off like the one at the
Pilling, Station. We tried to make out
what it spelled. We swung ourselves on
our pivot to get a better look. The sign
Dashed 011 again:

While Lincoln and 1 )ougl»s were engaged
in their scries of debates on the slavery
question , they spent , when not spcaldng,
some friendly hours together. In a certain

zig zag walking, th ey had difficulty to pass.
"Well ," said Lincoln , "there goes a good

"That 's no Democrat ," said Douglas,
"I'll prove it. My g<xxl man, what is

Hershe y Dept. Store
Pre paring for
Chop-Down Sale
The Hershey Department Store, "the
big live shopping centre of Lebanon Val-ley",
will celebrate George Washington's
Birthday on Monday, Feb. 23rd, by hold-ing
a "Chop-Down Sale", which will be
one of the greatest one-day sales ever held
in Central Pennsylvania. Prices will not
be merely reduced, but will be chopped to
the very bottom.
At this "Chop-Down Sale" the attrac-tions
will be manifold—the collection of
merchandise will be the largest ever offered
at any previous sale. Every department
will have its quota of "Choop-Down"
bargains.
During the entire day patrons will be
given a unique souvenir, emblematic of
the day, the presentation being given by
George and Martha Washington.
In the afternoon music will be furnished
by Fisher's Peerless Orchestra. These
artists are melodists of rare ability and
they will charm you with their exquisite
instrumentation.
The store will be decorated in a patriotic
manner. American fla gs will be unfurled
fromeverypillar. Alarge picturaofGeorge
Washington will be given a place of honor.
While around and about the various de-partments
will be numerous touches of
the decorator's art , wrought by skillful
hands.
The doors will be opened promptly at
7.30 o'clock on Monday, Feb. 23d, and
the store will be open until 8.00 o'clock in
the evening.
At previous "Chop-Down Sales" the
Hershey Department Store was thronged
with shoppers who reaped the benefit of
the many bargains that abounded in every
one of the many departments. Inasmuch
as the bargains will be even more numerous
that at the other "Chop-Down Sales", and
basing this as a criterion, the Hershey
Department Store on Monday, Feb. 23d
should , and no doubt will, be crowded f rom
the time that the doors are opened and
until they are closed. Extra clerks will
be added so as to facilitate shopping.
Don't fail to read the advertisements in
next week's issue of the "Press ". There
were never such bargains offered at any
other previous sales.
During the sale there will be special
demonstrations and free sampling of food
products.
