You pay usually at least 18 per cent interest or sen.’ice charges and sometimes more. It’s better to borrow money from the less expensive lending agencies for your Christmas buying. SHE’D LOVE TO RECEIVE IT BUT WON’T BUY IT A woman’s explanation of the types of gifts she would love to have but wouldn’t buy for herself, may seem rather illogical to a man but it is typical of feminine reasoning. She will say " I would spend $20 on a sweater but not on a wallet. 1 would spend $50 on a dress, but not on a sweater. Yet, I would love to have a $50 cashmere sweater.” What it all boils down to is practicality. The average woman will buy something for herself that appears to be the most for her money. Although she may wish to own some thing frivolous and extravagant, usually she will not buy it. So, men, all you have to do is figure out just what she is secretly longing for for Christmas. An old- ; J fashioned wish from us to you, dear friends. May your joys be many. And, special thanks Nelson's Grocery N. Broad St. Clinton, S. C.

Rejoicing, too, we warmly send "lad greetings, good wishes to every friend. Sears Clinton Plaza Shopping Center Clinton. S. C. 833-2411 Sears. Roebuck and Co. Catalog Sales Office
