A CHRISTMAS STORY By VERNON SMITH, the Ironmonger; To Men who are Married. Do you remember when you stood at the altar and there you took her (whom you now call Mum) for better or worse ? As the years roll on, can you say you have made jt better for her by doing such things as filling the coal bucket, by helping with the dishes, by doing those little odd jobs when asked without a murmur? If you can truly state you have done Ithese things, good for you, for a man such as you is likened unto a gem—priceless. If you have not done these little tasks, turn over a new leaf and start now, for it is Christmas time, and come to Vernon Smith, the Ironmonger, and buy Mum (who always gives you such good advice, but which you rarely take) a Wringer or a Carpet Sweeper, or Stainless Knives and Forks, a new set of Carvers;, some Pyrex Ware, or even a new Pot to replace the one that got the bottom burnt out of it when you forgot to turn the gas off, and Mum only said, “It was an accident.” We can understand why you are coming to Vernon Smith’s and buying Mum the best. Sister is next. What can you get for her ? What about one of those Mother of Pearl Clocks to match her pink bedroom. There are only a few left, so get in early. If she is fond of baking, no doubt she would prefer a comjplete Icing Set, containing a strong nickeiled syringe with six tubes and a revolving stand to ice the cake on/, arid all in a box for 5/6, posted 6d extra. Now there’s Bill, the one and only, and the apple of Dad’s eye, full of ginger and as good a shot with half a brick as Dad was at his age, and that’s saying something. Well, for Bill, is it to be a Sheath Knife, a Watch, a Torch, or a Pocket Knife ? Send him in; Vernon Smith, the Ironmonger, will soon fix him up. Now for Dad. If he holds to his present resolution he deserves something, even if it is only a Stainless Twoblade Pocket Knife at 3/6, for Vernon Smith has 109 different sorts of Pocket Knives to select from. Perhaps Mum would like to buy him a new Saw (to replace the one she spoilt through sawing the bones in the meat), a Hammer, a Chisel, some extra Razor Blades, or a Genuine Auto Strop Razor at 3/6 or 8/6 or 10/6 or 25/-. All of these, and more besides, you can get from Vernon Smith. Now, Good Folks, shop early and buy sensible {presents this Christmas, and buy them from VERNON SMITH THE IRONMONGER IN GEORGE STREET’
