SHOP IN NARBERTH
A Thought ForMOTHER'S DAY
Help Mother to Shop in Narberth. The business section is
complete and modern. Merchants can betrusted, and need not be
haggled with. Moststores have delivery service. A telephoned order
to a local tradesman will be honestly filled, and withprecious time
and strength saved.
Make Mother's days easier. Help her to
It is usually Mother who is Commander-in-Chief of th e home-who
plans themeals-supervises expenses and takes care of the thousand
and one details whichcome up. She is also the purchasing agent.
\
Trips to the dirty, noisy city for purchases do notmake Mother's
life anyeasier-do no t give her time for herself. Purchasing should
be done quickly and easily, but,with due economy.
