31 DAYS RENAIN | FOR YULE BUYING Shop and Mail Early Drive to! i Be Started Tomorrow in I Capital. i oo | With w umely warning that only 31 shopping days remain betore Christmas, the Merchants and Manufacturers’ As- eociation tomorrow will launch its shop early, mail early campaign in an effort to vent the wasted efforts and fraz- zled nerves that once marked the an-! nual last-minute holiday rush. Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, president of the organization, announced last night completion of the general plans for the campaign, which will be con- ducted with full co-operation of the Washington Post Office, under direc- of Postmaster W. M. Mooney. Merchants throughout the county, who have learned from past experience the disappointments to the public result- ing.from a belated rush of Christmas shopping, are joining in skmilar ef- forts, Gen. Stephan said. By means of every available device.' the shop early, mail early slogan willi be carried to the public. Street car signs, posters on trucks. motion pieture films and envelope stuffers will be uti- jized ta convince the public that the! Christmas - package and card that is| put off until tomorrow is more likely to arrive as a New Year rather than a| Christmas Temembrance. Radio an-| nouncements, through the co-operation of local stations, will bring the message | of the campaign direct to thousands of homes. Local dealers as early as last Spring faid plans to care for this Christmas. and while Washington was enjoying balmy breezes orders were placed for shipments to come from distant lands. Local shops this week will have full Christmas _ supplies available and within a few days windows will ‘be dressed in gala fashion with Christ- mas goods. The . peak load of Christmas mailing | and shopping last year was moved for- ward by this method, and this year the merchants’ board decided to make the campaign still earlier, it was pointed out y Mark Lansurgh, chairman of the committee in charge.
