Christmas Atmosphere Comes with
Stores Attracting Early Shopper

OF the business district has been at
premium.
Packages arc beginning to roll
eastward from Caldwell in consider
able quantities. according to Jess
Cowen, postmaster. AS always the
first packages to be mailed are DIR
ccted to distant states-New York
and the New England group. AS
Christmas comes nearer day by day.
that shipping radius steadily shortens
until few days before Christmas the
usual deluRe of holiday packages des-
tined for nearby points pours into the
Office
And as the shipping area becomes
smaller. packages to patrons OF the
Caldwell Office begin to come in. At
first they arrive slowly, then in
steady stream and finally as a tre-
mendous avalanche.
Following out its practice OF last
year the post Office department is
again fostering an early shopping and
mailing campaign. Last season. that
campaign obtained notable results
and Mr.. Cowen is convinced that the
public, finally aroused to the advis-
ibiliiy of suci, practice. will again
support that program.
