Many a child visited the various
stores in an effort to get a glimpse
of the famous Santa, and if possible,
convey to him a childish request for
Christmas.
In order to avoid the holiday rush,
local merchants are recommending
early shopping. This is an advant-
age to all concerned. The clerks
are not overworked at the last mo-
ment, the shopper is not obliged to
mingle in the large crowds, and there
are other advantages.
A Variety of Gifts.
There is a larger variety of gifts
than ever. and at prices to suit all.
The weather conditions of the past
few days have been favorable to
shopping, and the effect has been
noticed
Wilmington merchants emphasize
the importance of early shopping in
the old saying, first come, first
served" An early selection OF the eX-
cellent stock is advantageous.

Cify's Slogan Inspires Shopping;
Streets and Stores are Crowded

Help make Wilmington grow by
investing at home and buying at
home" is the advice Of local mer-
chants to holiday purchasers.
No expense has been spared by
local business men to bring before
home people the most attractive line
Of holiday goods ever seen in this
city. There is nothing one can pur-
chase in New York or Philadelphia,
that cannot be obtained here.
The extensive advertising of the
past few days in THE EVENING
JOURNAL by many local merchants
was largely responsible for the in
creased number of shoppers who vis-
tied Wilmington stores. A feature
of the advertising was the slogan of
local merchants, recommending home
purchasing.
The large crowds On the streets
today, associated with the gala ap-
pearance Of the local stores, were true
evidence of tho approach OF Christ
mas. Christmas is now only 10 days
away There has been considerable
shopping during the past week and
next week will be a busy period for
the local salespeople.
Residents in the rural districts and
out Of town we're here in large num-
bers during the past few days attend
ing to early shopping. Store pro-
prietors and managers all over tho
city report a heavy increase i'm trade,
directly due to the approach Of the
holidays. This condition increases
the traffic on railroads and street
railways. Reports from both account
for the crowded appearance Of the
cars during the past few days
Santa Claus Popular.
The increased number Of children
along Market street during the past
few days was due to the appearance
OF Santa Claus I'm several stores.
