In spite of the shortage of some items and the loud com plaints that there’s nothing to buy the stores are thronged with cus tomers spending their money on something and no doubt Christmas morning will find stockings bulg ing and Christmas trees loaded with presents, ■Certainly Christmas shopping "ain’t what it used to be” for ei ther’ harried clerks or hurried customers. The good old days when having run out of gift ideas for your feminine friends you could always fall back on stock ings. The man who, this Christmas gets a shirt, that good old standby present for brother and dad, can consider himself very very fortu nate for they are very scarce. Chances are at the end of the bout the customer who started out with a few ideas jotted down ar rives home with nothing you start ed out to get and what you have got, of very doubtful suitability. From what we’ve seen so far it looks as though Santa Claus’ sleigh will be piled sky-high and spilling over with gay parcels this year. Once more we are living in the land of plenty and you can afford this year to be grateful as well as joyful and let no shadows of personal hatred or mar the sacred day to come. Children are the customers, young enough to still have a shy wondering belief in Santa Claus. At this time of year the schools and Sunday Schools are holding their Christmas concerts. The little tots sit patiently through the pro gram, their eyes mostly fixed on the glittering tree and waiting for Santa to come. At last there is a tingle of bells outside and here he is. Then with willing hands helping, the tree is soon stripped of its interesting looking packages and each small child is remember ed with a bag of goodies. They are the most easily uncritical customers, for them and they for Christmas. nor jealousies the year best Very young Christmas children, satisfied and Christmas IS certainly OUT TUBERCULOSIS CHRISTMAS SEALS STAMP BUY Snell Bros. & Co.
