These words, “Mrs. Bearden was

forgetting to read God’s word daily
and believed and leaned upon His
promises thru all the dark ann sun-

work together for good to those that
love the Lord.

■ ■ Hokus
Pokus store has proved to be the
most satisfactory to both operator
and customer. There are no turn-
stiles or gates; the entire store is
open to you and seems to welcome
you with a glad hand. The unique
feature is that a patron may view
the complete stock of the store from
the front door. No merchandise is
placed so low that one must stoop,
nor so high that the smallest child
cannot take it from the shelf with
very little effort. The checking count-
er arrangement provides comfort to
the purchaser, for there Is quick ser-
vice and little wait.
The office of this popular chain of
food stores is located in Dallas,
Texas, and the organization is, so to
speak, a local om, for the money
spent in the Hokus Pokus store ii;
Clifton goes into a local bank and
stays in Clifton. «
