r : ! Thursday, December 21, 1944 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, S. C. Page Five Old Slory Old Glory waves over Amer ican homes at Christmas time. The Stars and Stripes are sym bolic of the true meaning of an American Christmas. It repre sents a freedom of doing the things we want to do—of being happy, with loved ones and friends. Although the Yuletide is celebrated throughout the world there is no place where people are more privileged to enjoy this festive occasion as happily as those within the boundaries of this nation. This is our heritage—to par ticipate in the freedom made possible by our courageous forefathers who founded this nation on the basis of Liberty and Justice. It is our moral obligation to carry on the tra ditions of Christmas as a defi nite part of the American way of life. This is what we mean when we say we wish you a merry American Christmas. We Thank You for Your Business and Good-Will In the Past. We Look Forward With Pleasure to Serv ing You in the Future. Prather-Simpson Furniture Company 'The Home Makers" CLINTON, S. C.
