Have you noticed the very
attractive display of jewelry
above the first rack of cloth-
es on the right as you go in-
to the Light House? Just
the right perky touch for
any item in your winter ward-
robe.
Amye and Alice are in the
process of taking inventory
but they are always glad to
stop and visit with you —i
And you never can tell what
they are liable to put on
those bargain tables or
racks. It’s really quite ed-
ucational and entertaining
to watch them at work! If
you’re downtown early in the
morning be sure to stop by,
because you never can tell
what may happen next. It’s
that time of year.
You’ll be delighted with
wonderful bargain prices on
the clothes you will enjoy
wearing for many days ahead.
