DON'T DELAY CHRISTMAS PREPARATION

The Philadelphia Retail Ledger calls attention to the
fact that the Christmas rush invariably throws spot
light weaknesses in the store structurebut that's
reason why should wait for the spotlight to be
turned on.
Salesmanship, advertising, display, the arrange
ment of stocks and the employment of emergency sales
people, system of handling cash and charge purchases
all these should be inspected and perfected in advance
because the rush in on there is little time for
making changes.
The retail executive who waits until the last minute
to make his preparations for handling the Christmas

CORBIN'S GOOD RECORD
Captain of Red Sox Makes Valuable Lead-Off Man--Gets 12 Hits in IF
 Lead Offs This Season.

In speaking of local baseball play CTS it is mighty difficult to point to any one man as the best, but there are number who can honestly be said to be the peer of any playing in this section. Take "Baldy" Corbin, captain of the Corbin Red sox for in- stance.
 As a lead-off batsman it is hard to find more reliable sticker than he is. He has taken part in IT games with the Red Sox this season and as lead-o off hitter has gotten to first base 12 of the IT times he has lead the as- sault. Not at all a bad record.
 In the outfield, Corbin. shows plenty of speed this season and is be- coming known as a sure, safe fielder.
