Entered at the postofflce at Wilmette. Illinois, as mail matter of the second class, under the act of March S. 187S, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1921 The Homo Owners It is commonly isaid that the United States is becoming a nation of peo- ple who live in^ rented dwellings and have no homes of their own. In large cities, anyway, wandering tribes of than ♦there are more home owners some of us have realised. The 1920 census figures show 10,- 866,960 who own their homes, com- pared with 12,943.598 who rent. The farmers and other country people, are a class that still provide many home owners. There needs to be more effort to induce people to own their Early Holiday Shopping Retail stores in many places are al- ready putting notices in their win- dows saying "Do your Christmas shopping early". This year there is a very strong added reason for such a policy. Formerly a great deal was said about the severe pressure brought on store clerks and mail and express employes hy the habit of buying Christmas presents during the brief period before the holiday, and then sending them all in a heap. It is a most inhuman and preposterous prac- tice, and all that has been said pre- viously applies now. This year^ if people would start right in today and buy their Cmust- mas stuff, it would do a lot to tyelp trade. Many factories are still run- ning on short time. If the merchants could by the first of December clean up a good share of their holiday trade, it would enable them to go ahead and buy new stuff. This would set to work a lot of people who otherwise would be idle or employed only on part time, and would help them get through the hard times of winter. There is bound to be more activity in trade after Christmas anyway. The big holiday rush always turns a lot of goods into money ati.d permits re- newed buying and sends a thrill of energy into the work of manufactur- ing production all over the country. \'r>w. "the question ar ws-^rchvt+rer^ the country will get that new impulse of activity in January as tlie result of a big clean-up of goods in Decem- ber? Or can it come in December, as the result of a big clean-up of goods in November? If a lo,t of people who have been finding fault with poor business would simply tret busy and buy now the things they will buy any- way next month, it would producexa big businjess revival at once, and bring prosperous times one mouth nearer. Any merchant on the north shore, would tell you that a rush of buying in November would permit him to place new orders for stuff a month earlier tlian he otherwise would.
