WINNETKA TALK December, 17, 1927 Lee Says: WE don't believe WE'VE ever told you ABOUT our line of GREETING cards. WE mention them especially THIS week because we KNOW we'll be doing YOU a real favor if WE can influence you TO come into our STORE and see them. ONE lady just told US they are the PRETTIEST Greeting CARDS she ever saw and WE could tell by the TONE of her voice that SHE wasn't saying it JUST to please us-- ANYWAY we want to say AGAIN that sending GREETING cards to YOUR friends is a BEAUTIFUL custom ESPECIALLY when you SELECT your cards from OUR quality line-- THESE cards are for EVERY occasion and you JUST ought to see HOW beautiful they are.
