One week from next Saturday is
Christmas, and while the Christmas
rush of trade is hardly on as yet there
are certain indications in evidence
along the street which tell of the ap.
proach of the day. The store windows
are beginning to blossom out with the
display Of Christmas goods and there is
every reason to believe that the assert.
ment this year will he larger and bet.
ter than ever before One thing that
everyone is hoping for in connection
with the coming holiday is snow, and
plenty of it, for Christmas hardly
seems like Christmas without plenty
of snow on the ground. Dealers say
that good sleighing the week before
Christmas makes decided difference
with the trade. and it is believed that
while people who have got presents to
buy will buy them regardless of what
the weather may be, if the sleighing is
fine the exhilirating effect of a good
sleighride is pretty sure to act as a
trade stimulant.
