Chapter 9 Gift Shopping

Some people
go through
shopping like
a kid through
a box of Milk Duds. And for others,
it's like going to the dentist. If you're
a shopping sufferer, let Osmun's leap
to your aid, gift boxes at the ready.
First of all, whom are you shopping
for? Husband? Brother? Nephew?
Uncle? Grandpa? If it's Grandma,
forget it. If it's a male, size 14 or larger,
just so state and let's get started.

Now. Husband, for example. Ever
think of buying him a suit? It's not
as crazy as it seems. You take it
home, he brings it in for a fitting.
After all, you're always complaining
about his suits, anyway,
so why not buy him one?
We have some very nice
ones for $200. We also
have some very nice ones
for $95, if you insist on be-
ing sensible about it. And
now that you've got husband
out of the way, what about
son? Maybe you're really nerv-
ous about this because son does
not talk the way you talk and the
last thing you want to do is prove
to him that
you're a fossil.
Fear not. We
have some Gen-
eration tap-
pers working
for us who are
bilingual.
They can
show you
some sport
coats and
shirts and
sweaters
and things
that will earn
you great praise,
;125 Soft Furry Coat
and, perhaps,
even a regular place at the dinner
table. So, son tended to, let's give our
attention to Uncle Leonard.

You know in front that whatever you
get Uncle Leonard is going to be

returned, so why not get him some-
thing really elegant to return? A $125
soft furry coat? Or how about a tie?
Those gift ties, you know, turn up in
cartoons almost, as often as the ship=
wrecked couple. Those gift ties, you
know, never get worn. But that's be-
cause (and please forgive us for say-
ing so) you pick them out yourself.

Crdeas from Osmun's.
Clockwise from the $4
all-silk Damon tie: wool
sport coat by 'Botany'
500, $100; Arnold Pal-
mer mock-turtle by Rob-
ert Bruce, $10; antique
helmet decanter set by
Swank, $22.50; Perma-
nently creased wool slacks
free with the $100 sport
coat; Evans opera slip-
pers, $10; Puritan per.
manent-press sport shirt,
$7; wool sport shirt by
Pendleton, $21; Enro cot-
ton pajamas, $11.95; the
9-bottle set of Nine Flags
shaving cologne, $15;
tiger-eye cuff-links and tie
tack by Swank. $7.50.

Please. Let
us pick them. Just tell
us about the guy who's
getting it.We have every-
thing from 33'-inch silks to Goldwater
conservatives. We also have stores-
ful of great American brand names.
Here's a list of twenty-some just to
show you what we mean.
