Seasons Greetings to all: It’s not too early to start thinking about just the right gift for your favorite Cloughophile. Just in to the “Clough Store” are Clough lapel pins with the Coat of Arms (see the accompanying picture). They are oval, and approximately ¾” tall by 5/8” wide. The price is just $10.00 each including shipping. Also in our family store are copies of the original Volume 1 of “The Descendants of John Clough of Salisbury, Massachusetts”. Please note that the first 40 pages of Volume 1 contain valuable information not found in any other currently available publication. Volume 1 can be purchased for the bargain price of $10.00, plus $5.00 S&H. “The Story of the Family of John Clough of Salisbury, Massachusetts” a/k/a “The Story” is available for the reduced price of $12.50 plus $5.00 S&H through December 31, 2011. The price will revert to $20.00 plus $5.00 S&H after that date. [Editors Note: This book is a wonderful narrative of the early Clough family history and migrations and a terrific bargain. If you do not have one, take advantage of this offer.] Saving the best for last, our newly revised 2 volume edition of “The Descendants of John Clough of Salisbury,Massachusetts”, published in 2009, is on sale to members for $145.00 ($175.00 for nonmembers, $75.00 for donations to Libraries and Historical Societies) plus $12.00 S&H. Any one of these items would make excellent gifts. Please send your orders along with a check made payable to JCGS,to Paula J. Clough, 21 Lowell Road, Pembroke, MA 02359. Orders received by December 12, 2011 should arrive in time for Christmas. Sincerely, Paula J. Clough Librarian
