The rush has set in earnestly. The Holiday season. at The Big Store is in full swing. It has begun earlier than usual, but that is because thou- sands have wisely decided that early shopping has advantages particularly its own. Mail orders are flying in from everywhere.

In the rush and hurry of the season, in the accentuated demands of the hour, the regular needs have not been pushed aside ruthlessly. All are here just as you have been wont to know them. . Only the Christmas enthusiasm predominates. The bewilderingly beautiful decorations, the long festoons of greens, the arches, ropes and rib- bands of pine, fir and evergreen, blended with fluttering flags, twinkling electric lights and massive deer heads that look so natural you’d thnk they had just sprung from Adirondack forests, all form a picture that will linger long in the minds of visitors. Yes, the Christmas season at The Big Store has begun in earnest. And—but that’s another story to be told some other day. The exuberance of the season is eminentiy noticeable in the Ladies’ Suit, Cloak and Waist Sections. The great inflow of holiday trade has brought to these richly stocked and very popular departments an enormous volume of business.
