passing along the thought that in this un-
dertaking there ought to be cooperation

advertising on the part of all merchants
! Of community
! Anticipating inqu;sitiSeness on the
part of many local advertisers the of
| fcials at Washington were asked whether
they have drawn the line, or will at
tempt to draw the line, between "use-
! full and nonessential articles as
candidates for Christmas presents. The
answer is "No.D The idea is to leave
this pretty much to the conscience of the
individual. However, some of the of
| fcials who are at the head of this move
ment tell me that they have for years
given presents of money to dependents,
and expect to continue the custom this
year, and inasmuch as the recipient of a
purse can devote the fund to any purpose
that pleases his fancy it will not be pos
sible to split hairs over what constitutes
"useful' gift.
NO BAN ON TOYS.
For the sake of publishers and ad-
vertisers it may be emphasized that toys
or playthings for children are exempt
from scrutiny on the score of usefulness.
Toy advertising is proper and permis-
sible, no matter how sensitive a con-
science is developed in any quarter with
respect to theadvertising of articles of
questionable utility to adults. AS mat
! ter Of fact, the toy manufacturers have
been more largely instrumental than any
oher one interest in persauding the coun-
| ell of national defense to recede from
the stern attitude assumed last June in
encouragement of all Christmas buying.
The ENJOYS of toydom who recently WIS.,
tied Washington pointed out to the Of
fcials that the toys for the holiday trade
of 1918 had been completed and in many
instances shipped to the points of con-
sumption before the council promulgated
its extreme views on Christmas courtesies.
Furthermore, it was explained that toys
are made almost exclusively from odds
and ends of material that would be waste
were it not utilized in this way.
Local advertisers will presumably
readily fall in with the suggestion Of the
national council that "box' or other
niche in the average display be devoted
to furtherance of the "Carry Your
Own idea, and permission of customers
to allow the early dispatch of gifts
(marked "Not to be opened until Christ
mas') to be shipped direct from the
stores to out tof-t town relatives or friends.
Knowing full well how short Of help he
is in his delivery department, the every
day merchant can readily surmise that a
little side-line advertising of this kind
for weeks in advance will be well worth
while if it avoids complete breakdown
(of the stores delivery system under the
peak load at Christmas.
EARLY BUYING OF GIFTS FOR

everybody concerned if this years ad

space in the early autumn to specltlcally
advertise Christmas goods that are dis
tinctly seasonal in character-say, fur
caps or sleds or electric heaters or skates.
What the business specialists at the head
quarters of the council do conclude, how
ever. is that it is advisable for every
local advertiser, beginning early III Sep
tember, to devote a portion OF his regu-
lar advertising space or to buy extra
space for general preachment on the
need for early buying for Christmas, not
merely as a personal convenience, but
also as patriotic duty.
TO AVOID USUAL LASTWEEK
RUSH.
The best reason, however, why the mer-
chant who has no wish to be caught nap
ping must spread out his Christmas ad-
vertising and his Christmas trade is that
if he doesn't do this very thing he is
going to lose some of his business. The
authorities at Washington have relaxed
the sweeping embargo that they origin
ally laid on all Christmas buying only
on the understanding, among other
things, that no merchant shall increase
his force of clerks or other operatives,
and shall in no instance ask of the store
employees to put in at the holiday season
more than the normal number of work
ing hours. This means that there must
be no extra statesmen or saleswomen put
ON the job for week or two before
Christmas, and that the "Open Eve
nings' sign cannot be used. 1t signifies
that if any merchant allows his Christ
mas demand to pile up in the week or
two Immediately before Christmas he
simply will not be able to handle it, be-
cause, under the limitations laid upon
him, he cannot expand his personnel or
facilities. His only salvation is an ad-
vertising campaign of education that will
get the buying public into the stores not
days ahead, but weeks ahead, of the holi-
day season.
Plaearding of the recommendations -
Of the council of national defense should
in itself exert strong influence for an
ticipatory Christmas buying; but, as a
matter of fact, merchants have this year
additional inspiration for advertising
copy. Advice to buy early while stocks
are complete and selection is ample is no
idle boast this year. Moreover, the rank
and file of the consuming public knows
that it is no idle boast. After the cor
ner grocer has told Mrs. Housewife that
he has been able to get only two eases
OF canned peas out of an order for two
dozen cases, she is in a receptive mood
with respect to the advertising message
of the downtown merchant, who an
nounces that this Christmas stock is lin
tied in proportions, and that there will
be no more to be had where this came
from when the shelves are bare.
Your correspondent asked at the state
council section whether any recommenda
tions were beng made as to the class OF
advertising copy to be used for the dilu
ton of Christmas buying. "Oh, no,
was the reply, eve are leaving that t,
chants. We realize tha the copy that
would be suited to Tulsa, Okla. might
not be adapted to Buffalo, N. Y, We
