The elements were in active league 
against the proposal to hold a union 
Thanksgiving service of the Hamilton 
and Wenham churches. Yet in spite 
of violent wind and rain, some fifty 
sturdy worshippers made their way 
to the place of meeting last Sunday 
evening and spent a delightful hour 
listening to the proclamations, singing 
hymns, making offering for the visit- 
ing nurse fund, and hearing a strong 
sermon by Rev. Frank Parker. Mr. 
Morse sang the offertory. 
Inspector Rice of Boston recently 
made an official visit to the Wenham 
postoffice. This was Postmaster Por-

dition of the office called forth high 
commendation from the Inspector. 
Rev. and Mrs. F. M. Cutler at- 
tended, on Monday, the dedication of 
the new memorial tower in Hingham. 
This edifice is erected in memory of 
the heroic men who, between 1633 
and 1638, founded the town of Hing- 
ham. Among the founders was John 
Cutler, a lineal ancestor of Mr. Cut- 
ler. The memorial consists of a 
handsome brick tower with a chime 
of eleven fine bells. The bells are 
so arranged that they can be chimed 
in the customary way, and also pealed. 
The local poultry raisers, under the 
leadership of Jacob Barnes, are mak- 
ing earnest preparations for the Es- 
sex County Association show, to be 
» held in Wenham next week. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Christmas is Just Around the Corner 
Come to Salem and Let the 
Merchants Help You Solve 
Your Xmas Plans 
You don’t know how attractive and comprehensive the store win- 
dows and the stores spaces in Salem are looking! ‘The Merchants 
will be glad to have you visit in Salem and look about and shop with 
them. I feel assured the trip will do you good from the shopping 
standpoint. Every shopping centre is decidedly unlike another. 
Salem has stores of individuality and they can cater to every specialized 
need. They will be able to serve you in all respects for Thanksgiving 
or for your future gift-giving during Christmas. 
The Drug and Men’s Clothing Stores have the hall-mark of the 
metropolis as do the Confectionery and Grocery stores, The cost of 
articles are priced with the times. Footwear was never so reasonable 
and so avilable through the prices to the general buyer. Come around 
and visit them and just see to what new practical, artistic and labor- 
saving uses their fine and complete stocks of goods can be put. 
How helpful and economical it is to gauge the shopping question 
early and have all the Christmas reminders we can! It keeps those, 
who are remote from the centre of things, from getting ignorant of 
the things in merchandise or the up-to-date, expeditious and economical 
uses and exploitations of articles and materials. It does away also 
with that tire-some nerve-racking, round-about trip to the metropolis. 
The Salem Merchants want also your criticism and comparasion 
wherein they fail or succeed in pleasing you. They are frank be- 
lievers in criticism for it helps a lot particularly at the Holiday season, 
to meet your approval. Therefore, such co-operation as they request 
will be a great stimulus to them to endeavor to cater to you the com- 
ing weeks. . 
Won’t you please accept this shopping idea? Write Miss Salem 
Shopper, Box 156, Salem, Mass. Just criticise or praise your Salem 
Merchant friends, as you feel called upon to do. Your letters will be 
confidential but, depend upon it, I shall make them bring results favy- 
orable to you. It is certainly going to help you exceedingly in getting 
full values and expert service which you want these holiday weeks. 
The Salem stores are stocked with the goods you need and desire. 
Their prices are reasonable, lower in many cases than elsewhere. They 
give you, as many of you know, fine value, admirable service and 
quick delivery. Inthese three respects you have already votea tor 
Salem as a shopping centre. 
The Holiday weeks will find you viewing greater values and bet- 
ter service, most attractive merchandise and novelties. ‘These facts 
can be more emphasized through your continued regard of Salem for 
shopping. 
Therefore, I cordially invite and urge you to become watchful for 
this space and be interested readers of it. It will be distinctly a wo- 
man’s forum, but I think the “stronger Sex” of the household will be 
greatly benefited too by reading it. They grow immensely in the eyes 
of. the fair sex, if they too anticipate the new and desired gifts dear 
to the hearts of their women-folks and children. Take this free gift 
of your Salem Merchants, a literary, professional shopper. It’s a 
clever idea for your best benefit. It shall visit the stores every day, 
view goods and novelties and send the news to you—what to get and 
how to use it, to your best economic advantage. Through real, shrewd, 
feminine eyes, the problem of an economical, easy and satisfactory 
hoiicay—season planning and gift giv we wilt ne solved.
