Carpenter s Christmas News
Published To Aid You In Your Selection of Things To Give For Christmas
Nrw, lifferent!
A lot of thought and a lot of
planning have been expended in
getting you something different
as well as the old stand-bys. A
visit will prove this to you.
OPEN NIGHTS
NEWBERRY’S CHRISTMAS SHOPPING CENTER
SHOP EARLY
A gay Christmas scene greets you
at Carpenter’s. It looks as though
Santa has just visited this store and
left gifts for everyone everywhere and
gifts that will please all. Such a
variety of gifts in such a lovely set
ting—it’s going to be real fun shop
ping this Christmas at this store
With so many to give presents to,
your Christmas saving fund is prob
ably shouting economy, and you rea
lize only too well that your gifts
must vary somewhat in prices. And
that is just what Mr. Carpenter also
realized when he bought his huge
Christmas stock. He bought oodles
of lovely gifts at unbelievably low
prices. He also bought some very
nice ones at prices that aren’t at all
too high for a pleasing gift for “that
certain one.” The clerks are busy
getting new merchandise out and try
ing to find a place in the all-ready
crowded store to put it. But one will
come running when you enter the
store, and help you make your selec
tion ... So now, come on, let’s go
shopping. It may be a little early to
buy but you can be looking around.
You will be certain to see something
you simply must have. They will be
more than glad to lay aside gifts that
you may wish to get later.
We could easily fill a newspaper
with all the real “news” at Carpen
ter’s. However we’re going to try to
give you the highlights in the follow
ing little paragraphs—just to better
acquaint you with Carpenter’s gra
cious and capably salesladies and the
stock. Although the clerks have
charge of certain departments, they
can easily step to another one to
serve you.
Lovely Linens
First to the table and shelves of
nen — such appreciable and long
sting gifts. Here are pillow case
:ts, linen napkins, gay breakfast
oths and dining room table cloths,
nen bridge sets, and lovely little
uest towels. Lots of the linen is
le famous “Mastercraft” whose slo-
an is “art expressed in linen.” Miss
ary Livingston can inform you about
lis part of the store so well. There’s
wide range in prices, linen pieces
om 25c to $6.50.
Thousands Will Get These
Mrs. Mazie Abrams’ joy and pride
is the -lingerie department. And she
rightly has a reason to be proud.
Here are some beautiful things and
many of the members of the fairer
sex will be pleased with ths gifts of
lingerie they will receive from Car
penter’s. A real possession is a pair
of Barbizon pajamas o r a gown. The
Barbizon are all smartly tailored and
come in the crepes and satins, from
$1.98 to $5.95 . . . There are also Van
Raalte gowns as well as balbriggin
gowns and pajamas made by Munsing
Wear, a very popular make. Pajamas
and gowns may be obtained in satin,
silk, ballbriggan, outing, or colorful
prints . . . Other lingerie would in
clude the fine Seamproof slips, fancy
or tailored, straight or bais, with
prices of $1.98 to $2.95 . . . Nice gifts
would be panties or snuggies of a
famous make. And Mazie says you
“simply must see” her table of a beau
tiful line of satin slips costing only
$1. Another table contains hundreds
of pairs of panties for only 25c . .
Throw out the hint that you would
like to stock up on lingerie this Christ
mas.
Be Well Hooded
To be stylish you simply must have
a hood and why not make your selec
tion from Carpenter’s wide stock of
Parka hoods. Prices range from 25c.
to 79c. They are colorful and oh-so-
warm these cold days.
Nifty Towel Sets
The Cannon towel sets make gifts
any woman would welcome with wide
open arms. They are put up in such
attractive boxes and come in such
colors as green, yellow, rust, wine,
blue, and also white. One certain
box contains two heavy towels and
two bath cloths with “his” and “hers”
embroidered on them—a swell gift.
There are also Cannon kitchen sets,
towels and rags. These products range
from 59c to $4.95.
Kids, Get Mamma One
On Carpenter’s second floor is also
a wide assortment of colorful smocks
for only $1.—an ideal gift for the kid,-
dy to give his mother.
FLASH!
For that gentleman who is
going in for giving in a big way
this Christmas, Carpenter’s sug
gest a fur coat—a fur chubby, a
jacket, or a full length coat.
Prices go from $14.95 to $119.50.
When It’s Wet
A nice gift for all the year ’round
would be an umbrella—that is a gift
one can use all the year ’round. An
umbrella, a light transparent one or
a heavier one, would be an ideal gift
for a teacher or someone who stays
outdoors a lots. Prices range from
$1 to $3.95.
Bags of Beauty
In the center of the store, well-dis
played, is an array of beautiful Whit
ing and Davis evening bags priced
from $1 to $7.50 and made of all kinds
of materials in all sizes and shapes.
Your choice may be a beaded bag, a
mesh, a gold or silver covered bag.
They make wonderful gifts, and every
girl wants one.
New! Scintilating!
Especially for Christmas shopping
days Carpenter’s is showing a wide
line of the very popular costume
jewelry. In this department Miss
Gladys McDowell reigns supreme and
she can show you some lovely things.
It’s a sure bet a gift of costume
jewelry will be well received ’ciuse
everybody’s wearing it these days and
all the new dresses are designed for it.
Your choice might be a pin, a clip, a
hair ornament, bracelet, or necklace.
There are some lovely sets of brace
lets and necklaces to match. And do
note the attractive little hair orna
ments for evening—some beautiful
little velvet bows outlined in gold as
well as pretty Vins and clips. You
can surely afford a piece or two of
costume jewelry on your shopping
list because prices are moderate.
Varied and Pretty
Gloves are nice and Carptenter’s
handles Van Raalte and other lines
in all colors and sizes. There are
cotton suedes trimmed in kid or pig
skin with prices $1 or $1.98 ... Or
your list may call for the bright
sports gloves. You’ll find them here.
EXTRA
And here’s some more real
news. For the second season Mr.
Carpenter says he >vill handle the
little 3c toys that were so popular
last year, you remember.
This counter will contain
7,000 or more pieces and 63 dif
ferent items to select from. These
unique little toys are excellent
“stocking fillers.” Public school
teachers and Sunday school teach
ers find these excellent in fixing
little packages or stockings for
their pupils.
Sweet Scents
Carpenter’s has recently enlarged
its cosmetic department and features
some very nice things here for giving.
Miss McDowell will have charge of
this as well as the costume jewerly
section, and she will undoubtedly be
very busy with these two lines so
popular with women. (A note to the
men—Miss Gladys can help you select
the very gift for the wife or sweet
heart.) The Lucien Lelong cosmet
ics are featured. In addition to the
face powder, rouge, and lipstick,
there are bath powders, soaps, per
fumes, sachets, compacts, and so many
other things. Many of these cosmetics
are packed in attractive little gift
sets with prices from $1 to $10 . . .
And do notice the little leather cases
of Tic-Tac-Toe lipsticks . . . three
shades, all to match your costumes
and only $1.—an ideal gift if there
ever was one . . . Carptenter’s also
carries a fulLline of Peggy Sage nail
polish, just in case you’re interested.
In A Word—“Gorgeous”
Perhaps you would like to give the
lady friend a scarf. Here you can find
plain or floral ones in chiffon, crepe,
satin, and wool. A bright scarf can
simply make an old coat or suit, or
even a dress.
Cute and Fussy
A popular seller this season at Car
penter’s are the fancy kapok stuffed
pilows. Plain or fringed, they are
covered with rayon and run in three
prices, $1, $1.50, and $1.98.
I Pretty Babies
“Adorable” is the adjective for the
variety of dolls in Carpenter’s toy-
land. There are Period dolls, Hors-
man dolls, and Dye-dee dolls of all
sizes, wearing organdies of pastel
shades, red checked dresses and ap
rons, and other cute clothes. You can
pay as little as $1 or as much as $10
for one of these attractive dolls that
will delight some little kid s heart.
All of the clerks take pride in selling
on this table. j
Thousands of Them
High up on the list of popular
Christmas gifts is the humble, yet all
important, handkerchief. You are cer
tainly going to give many, so plan
to get them at Carpenter’s. ’Most
anyone in the store can show them to
you. There are linen ones, hundreds
and hundreds of them, from 10c to
50c. You may prefer bright colored
ones or the lovely plain whites. Also
nice are the chiffon evening handkies
from 50c to $2.98. An evening bag
and handkie would be such a nice
gift for anyone.
Cards Too
You don’t even have to go any
further to buy those Christmas cards
you simply must not forget to send.
Here you will find a large table ar
rayed with picturesque cards. Pretty
. . . . chocked with Christmas senti
ment.
Never! •
Did you ever see a woman who
couldn’t use several pairs of hose at
any time? It’s always a wise choice
when you choose hosiery for her
gift, and here you have several well
known lines to select from—Phoenix,
Van Raalte, Aberle Trezur, or Chic.
They are all in the new winter shades
with prices like 59c, 79c, $1.00 and
$1.15. Make your slogan “More Hos
iery For Christmas” and let Mary
Livingston or Mrs. Mary Ruff show
them to you and help you select that
certain shade, and box them prettily
for you.
Smart They Are
And a mention of sweaters these
cold days is very much in order, and
they do make nice gifts. You can pay
almost any price from $1 up. There
are fancy sweaters, plain slip-overs,
and those very popular suede cloth
lumber jacksets, not forgetting the
angora sweaters that every girl wants.
Sock The Tots
Socks are nice gifts for the chil
dren. Carpenter’s handles the famous
Phoenix brand. Mrs. Lilia Eddy, who
knows a great deal about everything
in this store, will have particular
charge of children’s wear on the first
floor. She will be ready to serve you
at any point just any time you call on
her, and such nice clerks are half the
fun of shopping at this pretty store.
A Comfort, or Two or Three!
Much space could be taken telling
you all about the blankets, comforts,
sheets, spreads, and towels. And you
already know what nice gifts they
make and particularly how you like
to receive such yourself. Mrs. Mary
Ruff & Mr. Ira Clamp are in this de
partment. .. Sheets and pillowcases
are done up in Christmas packages,
also the Cannon towels for kitchen
or bath... The bed spreads are nice
and are popular as gifts. The chenille

pretty sateen coverings at a special

and other dark colors are in prices of
$5.96, $6.50, and $8.95. These are all

Deserving prominent mention is the
povelty gift counter where you are

offset some names on your shopping
list. In the very center of the store
on the first floor you will find this
counter containing shelves of gifts
such as vases, plaques, bells, cigar
ette holders and ash trays, brushes,
and ever, ever so many things . . . .

see pots of colorful artificial flowers.
They are so nice for the house in the
winter time and they are selling fast.
These novelty gifts run in prices from
25c to $2.48.
Take the Elevator
Shoppers, and particularly men
buyers, will certainly want to make
a trip to the second floor where Mrs.
Willie Mae Long, Mrs. Annie Spear
man, Miss Mary Wicker, or Mrs. Tom
Graham wait to serve. Here are to
be found the things women really
love, such as fur coats, evening gowns,

the prospects of receiving an evening
gown or evening wrap for Christmas.
There are many new gowns at Car
penter’s from size 11 to 44 and prices
from $5.95 up, in taffeta, crepe, or sa
tin. Most of the new ones feature an
eton. The evening wraps are all love
ly velvet in black, wine, or that pop
ular bright red for evening wear. Why
not get “her” a white brocaded taff da
evening dress and a red velvet wrap ?
Gee, she would really believe in Santa
Claus.
Big and Little Babyland
Mrs. Tom Graham is in the big
baby’s and children’s department on
the second floor and has many things
in the way of gifts now displayed.

Nathan, Carpenter’s faithful package
carrier, Will be pedalling along during
the holidays and he will get your
packages out just when you want
them. Reliable Nathan will see that
it’s done and done well.
BULLETIN
And here’s something different,
unique, and smart in the way of
Christmas giving—a dress length
put in an attractive Christmas
package. This item arranged in*
a little blue push-cart table was
the “best seller” at Carpenter’s
last Saturday. The particular
ones they already have put up
are $1.48 but you may select any
material in the store, any length
you want, and it will be fixed
just like the others. This would
be a fine gift for the person who
likes to sew.
Santa OKs These
Back down stairs and over to Mr.
Clamp’s section of the store to see a
lovely line of bedroom slippers or
leisure slippers o r shoes, just which
ever you prefer to call them. There
is a line of satin and kid slippers from
$1 to 2.25 varied in colors and sizes.
Mr. Clamp is also displaying the well
known line of Daniel Green “Comfy”
slippers for “daytime, evening, and
bed time.” The Daniel Green come in
all colors satin and in the popular
tapestry design. Heels are high or
low. How the lady of the house would
love a gift of a robe and pair of Dan
iel Green slippers! They last for
ages!

behold. Carpenter’s is well prepared
to box and wrap every gift they sell,
