It has been a difficult matter for us to keep up our Christmas reputation this year; markets are unable
to meet the demands upon them; toy makers are making munitions; toys, dolls, candies and Christmas
goods are hard to get. But we bought early - many months ago - and we have searched the markets
constantly for more goods at good values. And we have them! We are proud to be able to offer a
very unusual and complete selection of holiday goods for this Christmas. We make one suggestion:
SHOP EARLY! It will certainly save you disappointment.
Come in and choose, and have the goods laid away for you. They may be gone if you wait.
Of course, you always expect to find lots of candies at Fish-
er's. We almost had to disappoint yon this year, because the
sugar shortage has made candy mighty hard to get. We've
combed the entire candy market, buying TON after TON of
choice candy. Some orders will never be delivered; but we
have been able to get enough to supply your wants. The
range of selection is as large as usual, the qualities are fine—
and prices are surely attractive.
By buying our candes in TON lots, we get better value, dollar
for dollar, than other dealers. By selling in great quanti-
ties. we can sell on a very small profit. Compare our candy
values with others, and then get your supply while the stock
is complete.
We urge schools, Sunday schools and other organizations to
buy NOW and avoid the disappointment of not being able to
get what they need.
Fine hulk chocolates at ulunatollable prices. A very com-
plete assortment to choose from. Also boxed assorted choc-
olates, big value, at, pound :55c. Fine chocolate creams,
handsomely boxed, per pound 50c.
Dolls! Dolls! Dolls!
What little girl doesn't want a dollf Noth-
ing takes dolly's place in the hearts of the
tots; nothing brings them more play-time
happiness.
We are very fortunate in being able to show
a complete stock of dolls this year. It was
hard to get them, but we knew your little
girl must have one. so they're here. Every
size doll you can think of—characters, full
dressed, and real kid bodies
Prices are So cents to *4.65. We urge you
to buy soon, for we cannot buy more dolls.
