Here is a little Christmas shopping advice from the December 3, 1925, issue of the Ridgeway Journal:
Shop early.
The smile is the thing.
The Christmas buying is on.
Give Home Merchants a chance.
18 shopping days until Christmas.
(Note: no shopping on Sundays.)
We warned you well to get your coal in early.
Now is the time to begin some bad habit to swear off on New Year’s.
Do your Christmas groaning early and avoid Christmas shopping surly.
To conceal any small Christmas gift from little Johnnie, place it under the bathroom soap.
