SHOP EARLY AND
EARLY IN THE DAY

Not counting Sundays there arc
only nine more days until Christmas
OF course, the early closing Of the
stores viii force many shippers to
shop early, but it is more important
now than ever before to shop early in
the day.
You will find it more satisfactory.
There will not be the rush and Jam
in the stores in the morning hours
that you always encounter in after
noon shopping.
Help the merchants by doing your
shopping in the morning and relieve
some Of the strain and the eonges-
ton of the later open hours.
Help the merchants and the clerks
who are strailing every nerve to give
their customers and friends the best
service possible under the conditions.
DO your Christmas shopping early
in the day, early in the week and
early in the season. All will enjoy
it then.

it is undoubtedly prescriptions
upon the part of an old broken down
newspaper man like myself to donate
the Dispatch a letter with the ex-
peetation of seeing it in print; but,
as both the editors are my friends,
they may decide to stick it on the
copy hook instead OF singing it in
the waste basket, where it doubtless
ought to go.
Am improving rapidly and m fact,
the only thing wrong with me is an
