a S this store is ready, so are its customers.
L n Tomorrow will see the beginning of patri-
otic endeavor to conserve the resources of the
nation by hundreds of earlier-than-usual Christ
mas shoppers. What a sublime Christmas spirit
and patriotic motive this is Surely gifts so
selected will be greater atmosphere of charm,
for they will not only indicate the esteem of the
giver, but express sympathetic devotion to
nations needs, and sincere loyalty to a ''win-
the-war" program.
The needs of nation at war demand that re-
tail institutions do not put on extra help during
the Christmas season; that the workers be not
overtaxed or fuel and light wasted by extending
hours; that you disregard former customs and
plan your purchases now.
So tomorrow we start our Christmas buying
season. Merchandise selections of unusual variety
await every idea and whim of gift-seekers.. The
clock has been put two months ahead so to speak,
and selections are here that in other years you
have only expected in December.
