You may think it early for Christmas shopping, But in reality it is not Christmas a hare five weeks away. With all the extra duties your days are crowded with, you will have much less time than usual for Christmas shopping. Every present that is to he mailed should go in the mails at least a week earlier than you would ordinarily send it. Presents for men with the colors should be mailed even earlior. , So )ou sec, for much of your Christmas shopping, you have not five weeks left-.' hardly three. WATCHES'' Men want strap watches.
