Now, what will be the condition when the real Christmas rush begins? Post Office and Express authorities ask that Christmas packages be sent early, and it is to the interest of the general public to comply with the request. We are aiding early shopping by providing tags “‘Not to be opened before Christ- Bear to go on Christmas packages when requested, and by offering to hold such packages for later delivery, if this is desired, and we are bringing in our Christmas goods early—now—in an abundance that, notwithstanding the bareness of the market, is beyond any preparation of other, years.
