WAR INDUSTRIES BOARD ASKS
EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING;
START ADVERTISING NOW

The Retail Merchants association
have been requested to advise the
merchants to begin now to do their
Christmas advertising; and the gen
eral public to begin now to make
their Christmas purchases. There
are several reasons for this as men
toned - below First, because the
merchants are requested not to in-
crease their working force, and not
to increase the working hours OF
their clerks. And in order to relieve
the transportation facilities of the
country from congestion in the
latter half of December, which would
be hurtful to the interests of the
ration. Merchants are requested to
restrict deliveries and to induce
their customers to carry their own
packages wherever possible. If the
people want to be really patriotic
they will buy all of their Christmas
goods at home; in order not to over
tax the post offices and railroads.
Mail your Christmas packages early;
say the latter part of November.
Presents, except for small children,
should be confined to useful arti-
cles

the secretaries Of the Retail Mer-
chants associations to call the at
tention OF merchants in regard to
the waste of wrapping paper; it is
hoped that the public will assist in
this matter Wrap no foods except
those that have to be wrapped for
sanitary reasons, and then use as
light paper as possible and as
small amount as is practicable En-
courage the use of the market bas-
ket. The conservation of food alone
will not win the war. Conservation
must include every piece of material
necessary in the war program
Against conservation stands waste,
which eventually means the waste
of lives"
Merchants are requested not to
return merchandise to the whole
salers. This double transportation of
goods to and from the purchaser
meets no essential need, but results
in waste. OF course where an error
is made or goods substituted which
are not satisfactory it is a different
matter The selling of goods on ap-
proval to customers is another form
of waste, and should be discontin-
ued.

1t is believed in military circles
that the minimum terms acceptable

Meantime, public pressure from
