I ' e ;, 5 & lS m s r EP ft Ten Days From Today Brings Us to the Thanksgiving Holiday After that, the Christmas holiday buying begins in great earnest, and the days are all too few. Counting from day to day to Christmas Eve, there are only thirty-two days of eight and a half hours each, and possibly in December a half an hour longer. Throngs of people visited us last week to see what we have done to get ready. It was a real pleasure to look at the happy crowds, the mothers and fathers with their little ones, who dame not to buy, but to see and enjoy the brightness of the new things and to go home to talk over the sights and make a list of the presents to be got when they come again. How good it is for the public to be at home here without ever being urged or expected to buy until ready! 2 N 5 This Big Place Best Things Probably you will say as was said every day last week: "How finer "How lovely!" "Better than ever!" Well, come along and enjoy things, whether you buy or not. While the stocks of everything are very large just now, they are constantly and rapidly chang ing and many of the loveliest things cannot be replaced after they are sold. We will, of course, arrange for December deliv ery of things bought now for whoever prefers it. Signed Nov. 17, 1919. SPECIAL POSTSCRIPT to those who care to earn Christmas money.
