Shop Early.
From the present indications it seems
that the “shop-early” movement has
appealed to numbers of p ople. It
really works a hardship on any mer
chant as well as those behind the count
ers, when the heavy Christmas shop
ping is postponed until the last minute.
In that event it makes what should be
pleasant Christmas shopping for all—
ijie customer as well as the merchant-
only a mad scramble. The stock of
goods carried by the live, wide-awake
merchants of Newnan are so large and
varied, and they have anticipated the , |
Christmas wants so far in advance, that
there is no trouble to make one’s Christ
mas shopping expeditions weeks in ad
vance of Christinas. Numbers of the
leading stores are offering special in
ducements for their customers to shop
early, and a trip through these stores
now will show you that there is no use
waiting a day longer to make your pur
chases for the Christmas season.
