YEARLY FARCE IS
UNDER WAY AGAIN

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 27-The an
nual pathetic farce entitled THE
Shop Early Campaign" is being en-
acted again this season in Atlanta
with the hope of taking some of the
terrible Christmas train off the
shoulders of the shop girls.
No movement ever had a worthier
or more practical object, and none has
ever been more utterly futile than this
has been in past years. The newspa-
pers give unlimited space to strong
editorials, cartoons and news articles,
u1ging people to shop early; the stores
set forth intelligently the practical ad-
vantages of so doing; the picture OF
the working girl, a WORKOUT, nervous
wreck on Christmas eve when all the
rest of the world is rejoicing is drawn
over and over again with a realism that
is not one whit oyerexaggerated-
this year the same as usual the bulk OF
the Christmas shopping will be done
peli-mell, helter-skelter during the
very few days Immediately preceding
Christmas.

A New York advertising expert of

The efficient salesman or sales

conclusions.
There was rather pretty girl
taken on in big provision house the
other day who is very far from the
maximum of efficiency.
An elderly gentleman got out of
his limousine one morning, entered
this girls apartment, raised his hat
politely and said:
"'Good morning. Do you keep
dates?'
misunderstanding the questions
purport, the pretty girl flushed angri-
ly and answered:
Ives, keep EN- all right, all right
but 1 don't make 'em with no old fos-

Governor Harris and Mayor Council
Thanksgiving Day passed. Their sew
eral proclamations clinched the fact
as to the exact day and the many
things which could be done by way Of
proper reverence.
But neither of these high officials
have seen fit to proclaim the season
for-SHOP EARLY. And without dis
crediting the greatness and grandeur
of Thanksgiving, we must say that
shopping early has great significan ;e
for the American people.

It's rather unusual for an actress
possessing all the artistic tempera-
mento the stage to eat such prosaic
things as corned beef and cabbage,
but Bessie Clayton, the noted dan

When she retires from vaudeville she
intends to settle down on a farm
where she can have stacks and stacks
of cabbage and hogsheads after hogs

TWENTY Three
SHOPPING DAYS
TILL CHRISTINA
SHOPPERS IN AMERICUS BUSY
ALREADY

Have you "shopped" yet? Have you
Bought it, before the rush begins, or
are you, like so many others, going
to tumble the ball and wait until the
last days of the Christmas season to
purchase the things you should buy
now and put away until Santa comes.
Experience now teaches in this par
ticular. and while Americas stores are
showing now beautiful lines of holiday
goods and Christmas trix, there are
people here who wait, and wait, and
then want and want.
They are going to buy, of course, but
why hurry, they argue. Why not wait
a month, or a week?
Many Americas dealers are show
ing Christmas goods in all lines and
varieties, and not few sensible peo-
lle are quietly making their selections,
while the vast majority will wait for
the football rush and push and pull
on December oath, or thereabouts. OF
course stocks will be broken then, and
II will bn Dax+ 70 ;popocc;b1o - 49,
what you had expected to get, but
late ones will have grim satisfaction
on the thought that they waited; just
as they did last Christmas.
Only % good shopping days remain.
Do it now, and then be a pleased spec
tator when the scramble starts.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-11-28

And while we are on this shop early
talk-a few pointed punches about
shopping at home would not be amiss.
Some people would be surprised at the
avalanche of matter which the news
paper office receives concerning the
benefits of trading with home mer-
chants.
In Americas the newspaper office
has been clearing house for numer-
Gus criticisms of prominent Americas
people for this act of buying some
where else except here. The guilty
ones have been heard to offer the ey-
crse that what they want cannot be Sc
cured here-but merchants retaliate
by saying that they will order anything
desired.
If Americas is good enough to live
il, Americas concerns are certainly
good enough to buy goods from. And
the lowest specimen in these parts is
the high-strung, head-aloft pedestal
who buys away from home when he
can buy here.
Numbers and numbers of occasions
have been recorded of this act. (And
we're not knocking the parcel post
either.)
