less true because it is trite Another

IF Christmas. 1t is always customary
1t this time to publish editorials on
The subject: do Your Christmas Shop
ping Early While. perhaps, so much
has been printed on the subject that it
has lost much of it's force with the gen
eral public, the advice is good even
though somewhat stereotyped. For
selfish reasons if no other. every per-
son who is able to, should do early
Christmas shopping. The early bird
usually catches the early worm and the
early shopper has the big advantage
of large and unbroken stocks from
which to make selections and may also
expect to receive a much larger share
of attention from salespeople than will
be possible. during the turmoil of the
later Christmas rush.
More than this, holiday prices are
often higher than those that prevail
in normal seasons and the sensible
person will see to it that his or her
shopping is done while normal prices
prevail. And there is a side to the
question other than the selfish one.
The early Christmas shopper saves
the clerks from added burdens at the
time when they are pressed to the
very limit and the person who makes
Christmas purchases in advance is do.
ing the salespeople an act of kindness.
Rock Island merchants are already
fully equipped with articles suitable
for Christmas presents.
These may now be purchased with.
out any of the furry and crowdine
that will prevail few weeks later.
November is not too early for Christ
mas shopping and wise persons will
appreciate the fact and act accord
ingly.
