Do your Christmas shopping early in the month and early in the
day. Have some regard for the feelings of the tired women and men
who try to wait on you courteously and promptly although they may
be fagged out and their nerves worn to ribbons. Be patient. And try
to be as courteous to the woman or man behind the counter as you
would have them be to you.
Shop early in the month, because that will lessen the Christmas
rush the week before Christmas, and no matter how many of you follow
this advice, the rush and crush will be appalling.
Shop early in the day, and thus avoid going home on the cars dur
ing the rush hours of the evening. Do not expect some weary and
worn mechanic, tired from a hard day's work, to get up and pve you
his seat when you could have gone home an hour earlier. Do not be
selfish! Do not be neglectful of the rights and comforts of others. Get
down town a little earlier in the day, and start home before the w histle
blows for the ending of the day's work. The wage earners will appre
ciate your thoughtfulness, and your own conscience will approve your
action.
It is Christmas time the time of good cheer. Do your part to
make the wage earning women and men more cheerful.
A smile, a word of cheer, a little consideration for others these
are often more acceptable than things of silver or of gold.
