one good skirt deserves another!
You’ll be tempted to wear your new Craigmere each hour of every day. It caresses the hips, fits beautifully, and simply demands admiration. But even the best skirt is all the better for a rest. So be fashion-wise and turnabout with another Craigmere. With so many exciting up-to-the-minute styles, so enticingly inexpensive, you can skirt yourself for every mood and occasion.

TIMOTHY JOHN 
Timothy John is putting on weight;
He’s growing quite tubby, is Tim. . . 
He outgrows his clothes at a terrible rate; 
How we wish they would grow with him ! 
But "puppy fat" goes, 
As everyone knows, .' And though seams, here-and there, tend to part, 
It's GOOD for a boy to be sturdy and strong;  
Provided he's stout of heart! 
H. H. R.

The average price of a new home then was $12750 about 2.77 times the yearly average wage of $4600. Which was about 2.14 times the price of a new car $2150. Today?
