LEO KOLB | 923 N. Y. Ave. 1237 Wis. Ave. Main 5027 | A movement is on foot throughout the country to impress upon the public the wisdom and necessity of early Christmas shopping. In Washington this movement is growing in favor, and has the enthusi- chants and salespeople. Christmas is only seven weeks away, and the discriminating shopper is already making adequate preparation for the personal, domestic responsibilities and obligations of the Christmas season. The advantages of early Christmas shopping are obvious and many. and social There are fewer people in the stores, the salespeople are not so tired, the merchandise is clean and fresh, there is more time in which to redeem the | embarrassment of forgetfulness, and the Post Office is better able to assure | safe delivery. It is altogether in the interest of the public that the Merchants and Man- ufacturers’ Association, in co-operation with the Washington Post Office authorities and the Washington newspapers, urge the people of Washington and adjacent communities to do their Christmas shopping as early as possi- ble and thereby avoid the mistakes, disappointments and fatigue that usually follow when one postpones shopping to the last few days of the Christmas season.
