THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1920 NEW AMERICA SHOP ATTRACTS SHOPPERS Shop Sponsored by Daughter* of American Revolution Offers Op- portunity for Americanization Work Patriotic Americanization work is being done by the Daughters of the American Revolution in the New American Shop which is located at 14T9 Stevens building, Chicago. The Shop is a market for the work of foreign born women and is de- signed to encourage them to carry on the wonderful handcraft of the old world and for the purpose of bringing together the new American citizens and the old American citi- zens so that they may become friends. Must Land a Hand If we are true to our ideals, we must lend a hand at making good Americans of people who come to us from foreign lands. No greater in- fluence can be brought to bear against the "red" propaganda of Eastern Europe than through this practical Americanization work. If you will call at the Shop when doing your Christmas shopping you will find the work of twenty-five nation- alities are here represented. Here one may buy Armenian em- broideries and filigree jewelry, the Hedebo and Clunny lace of the Dan- ish, fine linen embroidery by Italian or Irish, beads and elaborate cross stitch patterns done by Ukranians. Then there are examples of fine lus- ter ware by an Austro-Hungarian and irridescent glass by a Scotch woman, bead bags by Holland Dutch and American Indians, also Mexican drawn work. The Belgians excel in exquisite lace, the Swedes are no- table for hand weaving, the Nor- wegians are represented in Hard- anger, the Russians in hand-made lace and knitted shawls. Out of this assortment it is hoped, you will be able to choose something ff»i»»»mmmm3m»»»»i»»»mm»»»itm It Can Be Done Bring those old shoes to us and make them serviceable again. 408 Linden Ave. i Electric Shoe Repair Shopm,S^ IHMUHUIWHJHIIIIU^ ys/////w///sy//////'/'/v/////s///ys//s///////'//ss^^ SpecialSale Higk Grade Fresh Candies Bunte, Lowney and Choice Chocolates per pound, formerly 85c. ... . . • • 65c Chocolate Covered Almonds per pound, formerly $1.25 . . . . . .
