There is lot more force this year
than in normal years to the slogan
Shop early for Christmas" It is a lot
more vital to the shopper. Every rea-
son for early shopping that exists in
normal years exists now. And war
conditions have added lot of new rea-
sons, department store proprietors say.
In the past the appeal has been to
the comfort Of the shopper and to re-
lieving the last-hour burdens of over
worked clerks. This year it is a case
of get what you want now or you may
not be able to get it at all. Washing
ton merchants. anticipating the very
which now exists, stocked up
against the foreseen time of scarcity
They have today larger and more va
ried stocks than they ever had before
But once these stocks are depleted the
replenishment of them will be no easy
task. In many lines it will. be abso-
lutely impossible.

Government Takes Help.


Because the government constantly
is taking our help from u.s." said w, w.
Everett. vice president and manager of
been created that makes early shop
ping more vitality necessary this year
than ever before. When the scarcity
Of help is added to the fact that crowds
population, will be larger than ever, it
isn't hard to see the wise shopper is
the early shopper.
Our stocks are full now. but we will
right up to Christmas day, as has been
our practice in the past. Not only is
there scarcity of goods. but, when we
are able to buy. the difficulties of trans
portation are so serious we never know
when the goods will arrive We have
our own transportation problem, too.
The labor scarcity makes 1t impossible
to maintain the standard Of efficiency
III our delivery service we would like;
and, to say the least. there is no pros
pect that this situation will improve as
Christmas approaches"
Goods Delayed on Way.
A. I.isner of the Palais Royal regards
the scarcity of goods and the difficul-
ties of transportation as the most tell
shopping. 1T sometimes takes from
fve days to week." said Mr.. Lisner.
ITO get an order of goods over from
New York. land when the shipment is
luck. 1t looks like the replenishment
Of stock is going to be a mighty hard
Job this year"
Late Christmas shoppers will be
more unhappy this year than ever be-
FORE" said Sigmund kann of S. kann
Sons & Co. The stores will be more
crowded than ever and once the stocks
are depleted we will have difficulty in
renewing them. Like every one else
we are affected by the scarcity Of help
be hard problem. II the government

forced to ask customers to carry large
packages as we'll as small ones"
Last-Minute Shoppers.
"The shop early movement. which
has been exploited for several years
ever before" said Lester Lansbur2h ~
Lansburgh & Bro. Whereas I believe
most merchants have amply prepared
themselves for the greatest Christmas
the population of Washington has in
creased to such great extent that
pi obably Christmas stocks will not go
round or will not last, and. due to the
present freight embargo, which is very
stringent on all lines to Washington,
1t will be very nearly impossible to
get more merchandise here prior to the
holidays
The ultimate consequence will be
that those who take advantage of these
days to buy their Christmas gifts will
reap the harvest of having selections
from bountiful stocks and careful at
tention. and the 1ast-minute shoppers
will most probably be disappointed,
with depleted stocks and the annoyance
which necessarily comes with the last
minute rush."
