SHOPPING EARLY.

Will you join in a movement on
a national scale to modify the
hardships incident to holiday
shopping.
Observation might show many
Of us that Christmas is a time of
hardship for those who have to
do with supplying the needs of
Christmas shoppers. Authentic
records from the lives of clerks,
delivery boys and drivers of wag-
ons show that, while we are
keeping the Christmas festival,
while we are feeding the lame
and halt, the blind and friendless
we are lightly>reducing to illness
and exhaustion the young and
strong and faithful who serve
us, seen and unseen.
Every year the celebration of
Christmas grows more elaborate.
More presents are bought, the
crowd grows greater. the dec
orations are more splendid. The
problems of the merchants are
correspondingly more complex;
the supply has to be increased,
the pressure at every point in
tensifies. On the one hand, pub
lie opinion disapproves long hours
and late work, particularly for
young women, girls and children.
On the other hand, merely
through thoughtlessness, many
shoppers defer their purchases
until the last possible moment at
the cost of unnecessary strain
upon salespeople and delivery
forces.
The idea can be brought home
to millions of customers that
they can benefit themselves and
every one concerned if they will
do their Christmas shopping ear
ly in the season and early in the
day. This will lengthen the
Christmas shopping period, and
reduce the disadvantages which,
in other seasons, have attended
the Christmas crowds.
Will you speak Of this matter
to your friends?

NUGGETS FROM SUCCESS MAGAZINE.

Men of mettle turn disapoint-
ments into helps as the oyster
turns into pearl the sand which
annoys it.
Let man get the idea that he
is being wrong, or that every
thing is against him, and you cut
his earning capacity in two.
The power of a clean record as
a success factor cannot be over
estimated.
Confidence is the key that u n
locks the bank to the young man
who is trying to establish him
self.
To fear or to worry is as sinful
as to curse.
They who give nothing till
they die, never give at all.
If one good chance goes by you
just lie low and grab the next.
Ones personal enjoyment is a
very small thing; ones personal
usefulness is a very important
thing.
Many an honorable career has
resulted from a kind word spoken
in season or the warm grasp of a
friendly hand.
The pyramid of knowledge is
made up of little grains of infor-
nation, little observations picked
up from everywhere.
He is great man who sees
great things where others see
little things, who sees the ex-
tradinary in the ordinary.
The fellow who is making the
most of a small job is really ahead
of the fellow who is making a
bOtch of a better one.
Sweeter than the perfume Of
roses is a reputation for a kind,
