(The Christmas 'Rush', That Is) A Question That Deserves A Sincere Answer ; . . We appreciate the spirit that prompts many of the objections to early Christmas shopping promotions. However, when the reasons for the urge to "Shop Early' are ex- amined, even the most critical aqree it's MORE than a problem for stores alone. Successful stores direct their best efforts toward perfecting a helpful service to ALL customers, Since many customers ask stores to make it easier for them to com- plete their shopping for gay and unusual gifts before the crowded late November and December periods, suitable Christmas merchandise is displayed early to accom- modate them. Many stores in Oshawa could not cope with the store traffic that would be generated if any part of early Christmas shopping were postponed until late in December, Extreme- ly crowded conditions of stores during the final two or three weeks before Christmas make the problems become evident. Those in the store business know that a large percentage of the Christmas gifts selected are items in plentiful supply throughout the entire year. The majority of Christmas presents are things people need and would otherwise buy for them- selves, but that Christmas provides the joy of giving. lee The problem is not a one-sided one. It should be recognized that stores are faced with problems of convenient service to customers, of maintaining helpful em- ployee relations, and of providing a place for last-minute shoppers to select gifts for their families and friends. We are sure that if storekeepers every- where could chat with you, personally and informally, you would be convinced of their sincerity. And in the true spirit of Christmas, you would co-operate in their early Christmas shopping promo- tions, which benefit you as well as them. in the Interest of All Retail Stores by...
