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.
