shy Christmas Shopping
Should Begin Early

First.-Because you can get
better bargains when the stock
is fresh and full.
Second.-Because you thus
have time to make proper Sc
lections instead of buying "jus.
anything" to make out your
gift list.
Third.-Because you can time
the gifts you send away by ex-
press or by mail so that they
will reach the recipients just be
fore Christmas and not a day
or so late.
Fourth.-Because by spread
ing your shopping over several
weeks instead OF doing all of 1t
in few hours and in a great
rush you will be able to get
what you want when you want
il.
Fifth.-Because you will be
doing your part toward making
things easier for the shopgirls
and the other clerks, who are
rushed almost to death when
everybody buys everything the
last few days before Christmas.
