Early Christmas Shopping

It is all very well to talk about early Christmas shopping, but nine out of ten of us have not the early Christmas wherewithal. What with shoes for Johnnie, and a coat for Susan, and gentle reminders from the coalman and other trusting ones, most of Us come bump up against the week before Christmas before we can spare cent for Christmas doings. Then the ques- tion is, What? The stores are damned there are heaps of foolish notions to catch the belsted shopper.
 And yet how easy it is to get just the right thing at modest cost, name ly, years subscription to The Youths Companion!
 It costs Sl.75, and how can you in- vest Sl.75 to better advantage if you wish to make a gift that will benefit as well as gratify the friend or family 10 whom you send it? And if you can subscribe early, you get just so much more for the money -all the issues for the remaining weeks of 1911 free.
 Then, too, your present will be as fresh and pleasing year from now as on Christmas morning, and of how many presents can that be said?
 The one to whom you give the sub scription will receive free The Com panion's Calendar for 1912, Autograph ed in ten colors and gold, and you, too, as the giver of the subscription. will receive copy of the Calendar.
 Only Sl.75 now for the B weekly is- sues, but on January l, 1912, the sub- scription price will be advanced to 8.
