DO IT NOW

SHOPPING FOR CHRISTMAS LATE ECTSn NEVES SATTSFACTOBY. The Christmas month is here, and the extra shopping which is so necessary for this time of the year is well under way. The experienced housewives and shoppers are doing their Christmas shopping now, and if their sound example is followed by people generally, 1 it will do away with the needless rush on Christmas Eve. Hurried purchases are never satisfactory either to buye! or to seller, and where there arc only seconds to spare so far as the shop assistant is concerned, hours are really required by the purchaser. The dilatory shopper who leaves his buying until the last minute secures Jess satisfactory purchases than at any other time of the year. Business people in Wanganui expect very heaxy Xmas trade this year, and in order to avoid the regret consequent upon rushed purchasing. intending shoppers should buy their Christmas goods to-day. “Shop early” is the slogan for the business-like housewife. There are so many things to be got in the way of little extras, without which Chrismas would be but a travesty, that it is imperative to start at once to lay in the stock for the festive season. There are other things to do as well; so many details to be planned and executed at the last moment, that the shopping, which is the heaviest part of the whole business, should be got out of the way as early as possible. Then the thousand and one items that require attention will have a fair share of time allotted to them.
