golden opportunity before the Christ
mas shoppers of Alma and vicinit;
this week, through their large adver
hsements which appear in this
twenty-four page edition of the Alma
} Record.
The merchants of the city are
stocked up this year with the greatest
quantity of good things for Christ
mas presents of any year in the his
tory of the city This is the time of
year, when every one is thinking OF
spending money, depending only up
OF the amount available, with which
10 purchase presents 60 remember
relatives and kind friends.
Because Of knowledge of what
Aima's enterprising merchants have
tc offer this year the Alma Record
suggests that the advertisements in
this issue be read over carefully. See
what the various merchants have TO
offer, and if you can make up your
mind what you want before you visit
the stores, you will find that you can
DC your Christmas shopping in a re-
nlarkable short space of time, feel
better over it and have greater
amount of satisfaction in that the
overworked clerks behind the counter
have not been forced to devote hours
OF time to your purchases.
The Alma Record would also sug-
gest that early shopping will save
tots OF time and trouble for the pco-
pie. and will also get them into the
stores before the stocks become de
pletcd, and thus they will be better
able to find and secure the goods
which they are seeking.
