THE BOERNE STAR
GUESS who called at our store this week, ostensibly for a
little rest and refreshment, but actually to take note. HERR
S. CLAUS, no less. The sweet fat old thing had an enormous
pack on his back, and his pockets were BULGING with gifts
for ALL of you. And so MANY of them had that little
“Roberts Drug Store” seal attached, (Roberts of TEXAS,
that is) all under one roof, too, gifts that are different,
beautiful, useful AND ornamental, at prices to please S.
Claus, and he is SUCH a fussy guy this year, everything
must be just right, and the price must be just right, and
THAT is where we come in. Gorgeous boxes of Candy,
COME SEE! (Come at the right moment, which is ’most
always, and you may have a sample.) Wonderful hand paint-
ed Tole Ware, trays, with or without baskets to match, desk
sets . . . SUSANS, lazy or industrious, TOYS that we
love and so will you, including a Twain with its own Twack,
that just runs and runs on a battery. This is practically
child proof. FRAGRANCES by Lentheric, Hudnut, Lenel,
perfumes, colognes, everything to gladden her heart; and
for the Young Miss, LITTLE LADY TOIETRIES, THESE
we are truly proud of, and every little girl can be a real
Little Lady with a bit of dainty hand lotion, toilet water,
and dusting powder. For HIM — and we just don’t care
WHO he is, we have THE ELEGANT GIFT, so he will know
you care, as if he didn’t, if they do, JEWELRY for some
things, cuff links and tie clasps that you don’t see every-
where, every day, SHOULDER flasks for two things. No-
body, but NOBODY carries that sort of thing on his hip.
Electric Razors for three things, every make, and you can
bring in his old one, no matter what condition, and get
$5.00 credit on the new purchase; a Poloroid Camera, you
have always wanted one, so give HIM one, priced at $89.50
or $69.50. Which. And Scotch that is Ten Years, Twelve
Years, Fifteen Years, Thirty Years, (stop me) something
for him to treasure forever after, much too wonderful
just to partake. And we do not need to T E L L You
about our counter of stunning costume jewelry, because
this hits you right smack in the eye, when you enter the
store, and THAT is a thought, just ENTER, and when you
leave, all your gift problems will be solved.
