WAS A BIG YEAR OF
TRADE IN COLUMBIA
Merchants Who Sell Staples
Say 1t Was Best Exper-
fenced Here.
STUDENTS SPEND MORE
Conditions Among Laboring
Men Were Never Better
Than Now.

Trade conditions in Columbia were
never in better condition than now
and in the year just ended.
The wind-up of the year shows an
increase with nearly all the merchants
and in most cases the rate of increase
was as great as usual. Several of the
merchants surpassed all their pre-
vious records in the size of their sales.
The students probably spent more
money with Columbia merchants this
year than ever before. The rate of
increase of student trade was appreci-
ably greater than the rate OF increase
OF local trade.
This fact is accounted for by the
great amount OF money that has been
spent in Columbia for building. paw
ing. and public improvements in gen
eral. The effect of this began to be
felt about last September and was felt
by some merchants during the holiday
trade. IL was felt most plainly by
the dealers in Injuries. Much of j,
went nto the hands of laboring per-
sCns who therefore were able to buy
even more shoes and clothing. La
Dor conditions just now are excep-
tioIally good.
Nc Il of the merchants report colIec-
tom good.

of about 10 per cent in his business of
1910 over 1909. A. Burchroeder. o.

other jewelers. report correspond
ing increase. Student trade IN lux
uries was unusually good.
AS an example of trade con-
ditions IN staples, the shoe dealers
say they had the largest business
they have ever had Their trade was
not affected much by public improve
ments as the laborers had more mon
ey to buy shoes and this made up for
any stringency the other classes may
have felt. Collections were rather
slow but there were few bad accounts.
Harry BrOadhead. of the Sykes &
Broadhead Clothing Co.. says that
were about the same in 1917
as in 1869 and that his business |
showed an increase. The clothing |
business he believes has been more
by the exceptionally mild |
weather than by expenditures on pub |
lie improvements. His student trade |
has shown quite an increase.

Co.. says that business has
been far better than he expected since
