THE STEPHENVILLE TRIBUNE, STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS
Give Pecans, Persimmons, Fruit Trees and Pecan Trees
ill They Make Ideal Christmas Gifts
Last week we sent three crates of persimmons to our banking friends in Fort Worth, Dallas and St. Louis, Mo. . . . The letters received thanking us for these showed such appreciation that it has occured to us that a
nice bag of pecans, a crate of persimmons or a pecan or fruit tree would make a most acceptable Christmas present. . . , These are produced in Erath county and the purchase of them means money to our home folks
and more than this, it means advertising for Erath county and its products. . . . Pecans and persimmons are most acceptable to grown people and are a delight to children during the holidays. . . . The presenta-
tion of a pecan or fruit tree as a gift means kind thoughts of the donor and is a benefit for years to come. . . . Write a letter to some S tephenville Nurseryman or to some farmer friend in the country and order such
a Christmas present for your friends.

Nature Thought of
' Everything
Nature thought of everythhpg when
the human body waa made. When the
body ia about to become HI, nature
planned danger signals to warn us.
Thus, if our children grind their teeth
when they sleep, or lack appetite, or
suffer from abdominal pains, or itch
about the nose and fingers, w* should
know that they may have contracted
worms. Then, if we are wise, we buy a
bottle of White’s Cream Vermifuge and
safely and surely expel the worms. Thus
we, avoid the danger of very serious
trouble. White’s Cream Vermifuge costa
only 35o a bottle, and can be bought from
The Cross Drug Store.
