WELCOME THEM
WARMLY
A friendly call is always wel-
comed by newcomers to your
neighborhood. They'll be
happy to meet you. Later,
they'll want to know you better.
But right now, they need some-
thing more-directions to the
-nearest schools and shopping
facilities and all the other in-
formation one needs on arriv-
ing in a strange city.
So make your welcome a little
warmer with the help of a Wel-
come Wagon hostess. She’ll
provide art this and gifts as
well.
When new neighbors move
in,call Welcome Wegon.
You’ll be glad you did...
and they will, too.
Yes Sir, the job is finished
and Sav Dust won’t have to
go out there any more to keep
it clean.
A committee has been ap-
pointed and that’s good too.
