The raft-boat was tied to a stump on
shore by a piece Of wild grapevine, and
uncle Wiggily thought everything was
snug and safe

fast asleep.

cause It enables the consumers to Sc
lect their purchases from the choicest
wares of the various merchants. Il
also gives them greater ease Il mind
when they know that their Christmas

other very important feature is that

and patience early in the season than
they do week prior to Christmas. To
do your Christmas shopping early
would also eliminate the merchants
