Do You Remember?
Do you remember in
"The good old days"
when every "hutcher"
shop had a magnificent
display of "Christmas
Beef" along with dress-
\J_lviv~i I    racks? And a11 of {t
was    gaily    decorated
a thoughtful gift     with pine branches and
for everyone        holly?
There have been many decided changes
at Sehmid's since then. All the latest type
machinery—new display cases and racks—Groceries added, etc., but you will be glad to know
that, as always, we have that "Christmas Beef."
Two of the 4-H Clubs' blue ribbon winners are

Come in and ask to see them!
And while here take home a piece.
Last week's answer: Frozen fish prepared
by a reliable concern will keep perfectly for
months if stored at zero temperature. We have
them stored perfectly.
Christmas and New Year's week we will be open all day on

advantages a good many of
our soldiers in this country and

as a result of their association
with scouting in their younger
