CHRISTMAS CARDS

Adequate Supply This Year

Though the time for buying and posting Christmas cards for friends overseas has not quite arrived, it is already, evident that when it does come there will (be enough of those small but important tokens of friendship to go round. Some shops have not yet got their supply in, and. say they are doubtful as to whether they will be able to get as many as they usually sell, but other stationers already have stocks on display and are confident that tinless the rush on them is something quite out of the ordinary they will be able to supply all their customers. In a normal year the early ‘buying o£ cards is catered, for from stocks remaining from the Christmas before, and presumably those now displayed for sale are in this category. However, though shopkeepers say they will have enough there will be fewer new cards printed this year, so the quantity left for carrying over to the Christmas of next year may be meagre. ■ There is apparently no definite ruling yet on whether printers will be allowed to print Christmas cards to order for private persons, but what is clear is that anyone wanting Christmas cards enough to go on to another shop if they are unobtainable at the finft will have their perseverance rewarded with success.
