THE PIONEER adversising columns offer many suggestions that are timely and valuable. A careful reading will doubtless solve the perplexing question of “what to give.” Using THE PIONEER advertisments as ‘a guide, one not only makes sure of gifts, but also greatly simplifies the actual purchasing and sending " of presents.
