Store Closes Regularly On Saturdays at Six BKF.I, mm—2.1.16 I MTED I if Day A Before Tiventy-one clays—equivalent to three weeks of shop ping days. A great many people have complied with the suggestions to buy and send Christmas gilts early. Others still have the greater part of their buying to do. Victory and Peace have changed conditions materially. Joy is manifest everywhere, and less restrictions are im posed now than if war had continued. Consequently it will be the merriest Christmas the world has known for generations. But because of past restrictions on the manufacture of many non-essentials, market conditions cannot return to normal. Therefore it is advisable to make early selections, because no one can foresee what the demand or supply will be just before Christmas.
