AS To Early Shopping

Just word as to early shopping, and that is-We truly believe
that the number of people who select their gifts early is increasing

two reasons.
First-The assortment is larger.
s~econd-The customer avoids the rush which always comes the
last few days.
However, we wish to say that while we urge those who can do so
to come early we also wish to state that the store service will be good
up to the very last minute.
