These cards are attached by tiny
ribbon bows at the top and center OF
the larger card, which should always

Watertwon lost it's municipal count

seems as if the lessons of the past
ought not to go unheeded. 'United

Several of the stores in this city

Schempf Drug Co., The New Store
and Keck & Co. In entering the

fluence those who visit the stores to
invest in many of the beautiful things
displayed and kept in stock, for their
own personal use, or for gifts to rela-

going away to purchase goods of any

BUY EARLY, THUS
AVOID THE RUSH
Merchants Not So Busy Now
Also Have Choice From
Fine Stocks.
(From Thursdays Daily.}

The time has now arrived for the
Christmas shopper to purchase all her
gifts before the days right before
Christmas, when the merchants are
very busy, and the stores crowded.
When you go to the store before the
busy time you get full pick and
choice Of the goods. And what is
important, the clerks have plenty of
time to wait On you. Every one
knows what help to purchaser an
intelligent and willing clerk may be.
And most of all trade with your home
merchant, for right here in Water
town you you can get just as good
stuff if not better than you can in
Milwaukee. Buy early and you get
the best end of the deal. for on the
other hand delay in buying means that
the assortments are broken. There is
a serious waste of time in getting to
the counter. There is discomfort in
elbowing the crowds. And in many
cases there is discomfort after the
purchases are made. You get only
a grab bag sort of choice with the
crowd. Besides, one should have some
consideration for the salesman and
saleswoman. Goodness knows they
will be tired with the long strain put
upon them. They are sure to be over
whelmed with work in the last days
of the rush. And so both selfshness
and sympathy dictate early buying.
Doubtless you will say these same
things have been said and ought
to be said. This has been a wonder
full prosperous year and it is likely
that all records for holiday buying
will be broken. If you would save
both yourself and the holiday work.

say it again-Buy your Christmas
presents early.
