These are war times and the National Council of
Defense has made these requests of retailers:
Not to add to their working forces on account

Not to increase the normal working hours of
.their forces during the period in question.
To use their utmost efforts to confine Christ-
mas giving, except for young children, to USE-
FUL articles, and to do what they can to induce
the public to spread their Holiday purchasing
over aperiod of three months. Also the restric-
tion of deliveries and in inducing their customers
to carry packages whenever possible. . x'
You will find this store ready and willing to comply
with these requests and at the same time give the people

MAKE YBUR SELECTIONS AND PURCHASES
BEFORE THE STOCK IS PICKED OVER
We of course cannot promise to again have the stock
as we now have on hand. Troop movements and supplies
as well as other War materials come first and it is very
likely that we will be unable to receive any more big ship-
ments of goods before the Chrismas Holidays. We oL
course must not employ extra help during the Holidays
but we have at this time ample.sales force in which to take
• care of each and every customerz with the very best of ser-
vice and courtesy. To shop now means to save labor, get
the best values and help the government in its war work.
k you to make this store your shopping place.

There is no necessity of going without
electric lights in your home now. Electric
lights can be installed in your home no mat-
ter where you live. This is made possible by
the invention of the Delco-Light Electric
Light and Power Plant. Electric lights in
your home add comfort, style and value. Oil
lamps often explode, destroying th* home,
the furniture and hundreds of smaller arti-
* des that could never be replaced again. One
explosion of an oil lamp might prove fatal to
x some member of the family and, too, you can
use a Delco-Light Power Plant for many
other things about the place. And especially
is this true on the farm. It can be used for
pumping water, running the cream separator
the chum or the washing machine. Why not
install a Delco-Light Electric Light Plant in
your home for a Christmas present for your
family? It’s a practical gift and a gift that
' you will be proud of irvyears to come. We
' would be glad to go over the details with you
and show you just how easily it is to operate,
what all it will do and what it will cost you to
have it installed in your home.
