TO your shopping early while the
good things are on tap.
Grab the early bargains while they're
on the bargain map.
Don't be one Of those kites that hit
the shopping trails
When all the clerks are weary after
forty thousand sales.
What's the use Of loafng while the
early shoppers win?
When you are sweating lava those
same early birds will grin!
Christmas eve the pleasant girls
who ladle out the toys
Will be 50 worn and weary they'll
have ID Christmas joys.
Haven't they right to honer at
your putter and delay?
Pray leave them strength to cele-

# you put off your shopping till the
very last hour. \
hope you draw a lemon that is
secondhand and sour!
The tardy shopper blithely said. "A
Merry Christmas girlie!"
The clerk replied. If you were dead
or did your shopping early
We could enjoy little fun around
our Christmas table,
But slow-pohes keep me on the run.
