You can help make work easier for the store em- ployees, avoid the crush of the crowds at the counters, and get satisfactory goods and service from all up-to-date stores, if you buy by telephone. ix By the way, have you seen our Exhibit at ie ition of Safety and Sanitation at th Grand Central Palace? a » OT hone exc! ho: ith spent eat ae ae wen 1 We have secured a number of tickets of ad- mission to be presented, with our compliments, to telephone users.
