Shopping in Buntingford

Xmas Presents and Fare

As usual, the sending of Christmas presents and greetings has disorganised the postal service, and throughout this week the Buntingford postmen have been laden with letters and parcels.

As for the shops, many seem to be doing the best trade of the whole year.

Messrs. Moss's have a wonderful show of seasonable fare from Empire fruits to prie hams and bacon. They also have many bargains in their china department, which always make useful Christmas presents, in addition to a large and varied assortment of crackers.

For those who have not ordered their Christmas Dinner, Mr H.W. Piggott, with his well-stocked shop, is able to supply some excellent quality turkeys, ducks and fowls, besides some dairy-fed pork, and some excellent beef and mutton, all at low prices.

Mr C.H. Tottman, of High Street, has all the fruits, &c, which are associated with the great Christmas Festival. His stock also includes holly and mistletoe and artistic boxes of chocolates, the latter being most suitable for Xmas gifts.

Mr F. White has many suggestions for Xmas gifts to wireless enthusiasts, and his stock extends from a complete installation for under £1 to a beautiful 3-valve cabinet, which is worthy of a place in any home.

"Give him cigarettes or tobacco" is a new slogan this Christmas, and from the variety which Mr H. Fry has in stock it is easy to obtain an acceptable gift at a low price.

What a useful present coal would make for Xmas, in order to "keep the home fires burning." Go to Mr E.J. Sparkes should you think of giving fuel.

Mr E.B. Haddock has a wide assortment of pretty and useful gifts to suit all tasts and pockets.

Mr E. Browne has a stock of articles suitable for presents; all at bargain prices.

Dark evenings at Christmas time, Mr Borsberry - lamps of all kinds.

Football

A lengthy report of this match between Aspenden and Buntingford in the Herts Junior Cup has had to be omitted from this issue owing to pressure of space.

The re-play proved a good attraction and a fair-sized crowd saw a keen and interesting game.

After Buntingford had scored twice T. Moule netted for Aspenden and put a fresh spirit into the game.

In the ding-dong battle two players stood out prominently: North in the Aspenden goal and Howlett at centre-half for Buntingford. These two players put in a most creditable display.
