Christmas Shoppers
There is Only One Slogan Now That is "Shop Early"
.e,are complying wih the orders of the Coal Com
mittee that is, we must not open the store before 9
o'clock and close at 4 Oclock, with the exception of
Saturdays, when we maiy open at 7 o'clock and' close
at 9 o'clock. This gives us only seven hours per day.
Last year we were open 14 hours per day. There is no
telling how long this situation may continue. It may
grow WC'i'W.
Every shopper should bear this in mind and arrange
shopping hours accordingly. To do .this will help us
greatly. -
The Christmas season is with us, and under these
conditions it is well for every person to do their shop
ping at once. This is very essential under the present
conditions.
1 Most of our Christmas goods are here. We have just
opened a Christmas Goods Department in the store
building adjoining the Racket. Our asaortmnet is large -and
contains appropriate things for all. It ia a regular
Santa Claus store. Come and do your shopping before
it is too late. .
