ROSY REPORTS FROM
LOCAL MERCHANTS
Business Is Better This Christmas
Than it Was a Year
Ago.

A News reporter called at the
stores in Winchester Friday In an
endeavor to learn how the trade this
year compared with last year; but
only a few could be seen owing to
the rush of business.
Mr.. Winn, of the Winn Furniture
Company, said that this year was
far ahead of last wear; but owing
to the warm weather he felt that it
was not as good as it would be after
the weather changed.
Mr.. Jeff Stewart. of the
Rupard, Stewart Company, stated
that their trade this year far sur
passed that of last and that his firm
had been doing rushing business.
Mr.. " Bloomfield: 81 have had
an unusual good trade all during the
fall season, but my Christmas trade
has far surpassed anything | have
had in FIVE years. / attribute this In
degree to money matters being cas-
Ter and also to the better advertising
facilities.
Mr.. Frank Murphy, of the firm of
Allan & Murphy: eve are having
an unusually good trade this Christ
mas. The weather has been warm
but if a change comes we expect a
great rush. Money matters are, in a
better way this year and l do not
see why every merchant will not do a
good business.
Mr.. Lee Baldwin of the firm of
Baldwin Brothers: "Our business is
good. The weather has been a little
warm but this morning the wind
is in the West. 1t is going to get
cold and we are going to do still bet
ter. Already we have no reason to
complain.
Mr.. II. III. Hall, when seen, stated
that he had been doing better bus
mess all this fall than he had ever
done and that he was having great
rush for the holidays; in fact, he
said he had never experienced any
thing just like this rush In al his
business experience. He said that he
felt that his advertising had good
deal to do with it.
Mr.. C. II. Bowen did not get down
to business until very late and when
seen said he was tired because he
had been working until after twelve
and one o'clock each night and that
the outlook for business in his line
was far better than it had been for
several years.
