Ex-Governor Hughes is a lawyer who
did not rank highest in his profession

There Is a great deal Of common
sense in the movement now growing
here in favor Of early Christmas shop
ping. The shoppers themselves seem
slow to realize that, as a rule, there
Is a marked advantage i'm doing the
holiday shopping early. The advan-
tage is manifold. In the first place
there is the satisfaction OF having the
first choice Of holiday goods. Then
there is the satisfaction of choosing
carefully, leisurely and under COM
paratively comfortable conditions
Likewise there is the satisfaction OF
being attended to by employees who
are not all tired out, as employees are
very likely to be when shopping Is
put off until the eleventh hour. Thus
all are served well by early Christmas
shopping, but none more so than the
shoppers themselves.
