THE CHRISTMAS TRADE
THE LARGEST IN VOLUME THIS
 SEASON


 Impulse of the Better Times-Pstron- ize Home Trade and Get Better Re- suits.
 When interviewed yesterday in re- gard to the volume of trade this Christi mas season General G. H. Ford spoke very encouragingly saying that the demand for higher class goods is much increased and that more valuable Christmas presents are being purchased this season than usual. q have no doubt" continued General Ford that the amount spent this year for holiday gifts will exceed that spent in any pre- vious season for the last five years. I might add that the volume of trade would be very much larger if 1t were not for the facilities afforded our people to visit New York and the disposition on their part to made their purchases out of town instead of encouraging the home merchants Every morning the o'clock train to New York is well pat ronized by the families of landlords who rent their buildings to New Ha- ven men, anal their houses to employees of New Haven stores, etc. and by those who sell their light and water, and in fact by people whose income is to great extent dependent upon reve- nues derived from local sources Those who receive revenue from advertise ments are not entirely exempt. Law yers, too, hasten to collect their fees from their New Haven clients and join in the procession. We all perhaps thoughtlessly indulge in the same prac- tice in the holiday season particular ly, to more or less extent, and was quite gratified at the reference to this subject in the editorial columns of the Journal and Courier and the Register. have no doubt it would be impossi- ble to find any merchant who would admit that his trade, was in any way injured by this practice. Nevertheless there is million dollars spent every year by New Haven people among New York merchants whereas the buyers would be as well or better served here with less annoyance, less disappoint- ment and less chagrin. This amount spent in New Haven would be great benefit not only to our merchants but to the entire city
