DON’T DELAY LONGER

Once more It is time to do your Christmas shopping. But seven buying days remain wherein to accomplish all the purchasing which you have planned, and there is every Indication that the stores are to be crowded this year as never before. Therefore if you hope to shop with any considerable degree of satisfaction you should begin at once. Christmas eve falls on Sunday

this year and parcels should be mailed in sufficient time for delivery on Saturday as there will be no Christmas day deliveries by the faithful employes of Uncle Sam’s postal department, who are already beginning to feel the effects of increased business which is induced by the near approach of the holiday season.

In addition to the personal comfort to be found in early shopping, and the better service which is always at your command before the real rush begins, there is another reason more important this season than ever before. In many lines the late comers will find the assortment badly broken, due to the fact that dealers have not in every case been able to secure as great quantities as judgment prompted them to buy and they have been compelled to accept so much of their order as the wholesale houses were able to furnish. Every indication points to the greatest buying Christmas season in many years and while dealers will make strenuous efforts to render adequate service at all times the advantage will lie with those who shop at once.
