Last week, the tarantula crawled smack onto the thresh­old of the couriers lobby. Patrons sidestepped, walked around and generally avoided the hairy ceature until one patron quietly asked for a weapon and, with a swipe of a broom, wiped .the m~rauder :to spider heaven.

WHERE IS YOUR

MONEY TODAY?

Wait a minute! I'm not inquir­ing into your personal affairs and trying to find out where your money is invested? Oh no! That is none of my business.

Whal I am thinking abou t 'is what kind of a pocketbook you are can-ying your currency in today? If we took a poll we would probably find that a lot of people are using old dog­eared purses or wallets that have long since served their time.

The money you carry on your person should be in a safe place. It deserves lo be encased in a container that's both good look­ing convenient, and safe.

Is your pocketbook or wallet ready to be retired? Take a look at it now. If it's worn out, it's high time ,you came in here and 'bough t yourself a new one.

Yes. we have p urses and wal­lets of all kinds. Here are ge­nu ine leather wallets, fines t cow­hide. with gold corners and even olaces for your engraved initials. Lar~e wallets for your inside coat pocket. Or smaller wallets for your hip pocket. Some are natural leather . Others are black. Any one has lots of room in it for your currency, your cards, your auto license and other small papers. Come in to­day and get a smart new poc­ketbook. Or choose one to _g ive to some friend for a present.

Read the following carefully for 1

AD-RI.ME' hinfs Last week's winner: I A certain Las Cruces lady recently remarked: "Experience is sure a good teacher - but Mrs. Dorothy Thomas, 1453 Almendra

darned costly." Seems this lady .r d her husband had visited with friends in El Paso and while there THE WINNING RHYME:

"picked up" a few things. The husband bought a fine suit of clothes at a good store. It was Visitors will soon arrive·, I duly altered and sent to him. A defect in the material was discovered. This required corre-.... spondence and r esulted in an offer to .exchange, mind you, 45 miles away. So join our Shop-in-Cruces Drive.

The Missus found an upholstered piece that she "just loved" and had it sent to her-PRE- ~--------------------------­PAID. Shortly the fabric split and she had it redone by a local upholsterer. She also purchased a camera for her daughter's birthday gift, then learned that a friend had given her exactly the same kind of camera.

After a lot of bothersome correspondence and attempted adjustments, this couple was final­ly obliged to make another long trip to straighten out the camera and suit business. On the furniture piece there was no recourse.

Sometimes these sad "shopwoes" have to happen to some folks before they learn that it is just plain good sense ALWAYS and in ALL WAYS to transact business with neighboring repu­table merchants.
