The employees of the American
Express company are looking forward
/ TO the holiday season with anything
but pleasure. The work of the men
will be several times doubled with ev-
erybody desiring to have his wants at
tended to at once. Owing to the pros
porous condition of the country 1t is
| expected that the amount of business
will be larger this year than ever be-
fore. In view of the circumstances al
ready rehearsed it is desirable that
those intending to ship presents by ex-
press should do so several days in ad-
vance to insure that presents will be de-
! livered in time for the holiday. Many
children will be grievously disappoint-
ed to receive their presents several
DAYS behind time. The company fur
nishes labels bearing the inscription
Don It Open Until Christmas. If these
are affixed and the packages sent i'm
mediately it will be better for the
