An EARLY OPENING
FOR XMAS SEASON
Local Merchants Establish a
New Precedent for the
Holiday Trading.

Shoppers who have firmly resolved
70 make their Christmas purchases
early in order to avoid the rush and
also tighten the work Of the shop girls.
should begin to do their part as the
merchants are in readiness to do
theirs, although Christmas is about
six weeks off, In every line Christmas
stocks have been laid in and the mer-
chant Is now preparing his holiday
displays.
1t Is neither too early to shop now
nor too early to display holiday goods,
the merchants say. This year local
dealers have advanced the season
about two weeks. The early prepara-
lions to accommodate the purchasers
10 q record for Richmond. Even last
year, with the campaign to shop early
many dealers did not open the season
until December l.
Such an early season was an un-
heard OF thing until last year. but the
merchants found their action pleased
the public immensely and greatly
frightened the burden OF the employees
in the various stores. The sales for
the season 1910, were larger than in
previous years under the old system.
The merchants saw the benefits de-
Irived and this year they are going to
he even more progressive.
At q meeting Of the merchants
section of the Commercial Club which
will be held soon details for the
christmas shopping will be considered
.Early shopping alone will not be de-
bated. 1t Ia likely that attention will
be given to the night closing PROPOSE
'tion. Some of the merchants have ex'
pressed themselves as being in favor
,of 4 concerted stand by the business
Imen not to open their places OF bust
mess after six p. m. at least not un
I'll the last week OF the holiday sea
lson, and of course excepting Saturday
nights. There Is objection made to
the scheme to eliminate night shop
ping. Some merchants argue there is
convenient to do their shopping dur
ing the customary hours. and some ar
rangement must be made to accom-
modate this class, they say.
Another thing to be considered Is
the law prohibiting the employment,
of juveniles. Extra clerks must be
taken on during the holiday season
The law now prohibits the employ
