The old-fashioned ideas of celebrating

with toys, etc. and of making gifts TO
friends are not changing much in this
city. though there are some who are
prone to believe that the custom is grad
ually declining. 1t mas not been so many
years ago thar the lower thoroughfares
of the city were crowded for weeks be
fore Christmas with purchasers Of toys
and the downtown toy merchants reaped
great haryests of money. This condition
of affairs has not prevailed of late. The
city Is growing More toys and Christ,
mas presents have been sold this year
than ever before IN the history of the
city. despite inc fact that even the cloth

the sale Of Christmas gifts. In fact al
most every line Of mercantile business
has done the same. The windows of the
tea stores. the furniture stores, the hab-
erdashers and other firms have been filed
with tempting array of articles suit-
able for Christmas presents

ROT crowd down unto the funnel as they
used 10, to do the Christmas shopping.

dealers say they have not been quite so
extensively patronized as in years past.
but even they admit that their trade has
been profitable They declare that the
ideas Of purchasing holiday presents is
really on the increase, but they say that
the trade has been divided up. They
stocked their stores with their usual
Christmas holiday goods and they say
they got as good share of the seasons
trade as they expected 10 secure. The
centre of the holiday trade has been the
Newark avenue block, between Grove
street and Jersey avenue. Here The hol
iday trade has been unusually brisk.
