Baytown Fashion your you hands. If, by haven't received your card yet, stop by the store and let us give an application to fill out. There is no charge involved at all. Of course I have a two-fold purpose telling you this first I wanted you to know that your 3ankAmericfird is good here, and secondly, in case you hadn't icard, I have never been known be a mechanical marvel. I find it to be a major undertaking to replace a burned out light bulb! Well, one day ast week, a customer made a purchase here, and presented her BankAjnericard.

Well. that threw me in fact, the customer offered to either give me a check in full, and forget it, or if I so desired be glad to show me how it worked. My husband was out of the store, and I was adamant, and after much coaching, and trying, I finally managed it. They haven't let me forget it yet. But I took a quick lesson, and I am now a very proficient operator of that very complex imprinter! Can you realize that it is almost a year (lacking just a few days) that we left our old corner on Texas Avenue, and combined our two stores? Yes, just a year ago we became two stores under one roof House of Fashion and Junior World.

(Golly, am I devious today). Yes, you guessed it, I have a reason, a very good reason to tell you this. Some people have been under the impression that we are not able to fit them since we moved the House of Fashion and please note I said moved. It is a fact that we still retain our image of Junior World, where we can fit the Junior Teen, the Junior Petite and the Junior and we still have our fashions of long standing for the Misses sizes, as well as the mature Junior size woman the career girl, the housewife, the mother, yes, even the grandmother, who still wear junior size clothes. So, If you got the wrong impression, perhaps this will help and you will be by to see us for your new spring clothes, in dresses, lingerie, sportswear, swim wear, accessories and one thing that has never changed our complete and full understanding of your needs, and our joy and delight in being of service to you.

So, now that you come on by soon. Both stores are at 1507 N. Pruett. Have a good day everyone. FREE YOUR PORTRAIT IN of Mrs.
