EARLY BUYING
Never in the history of merchandising has it been so
essential to buy early as it now is. This is a season of

exclusive novelties. So don’t make the mistake of going
to some other place and getting a back number, for you
you will regret it when you see the up-to-date things
your neighbor got here, and regrets, you know, are very
expensive things to patch up.
