Virginia Merchants Enjoy Large
Patronage from Outside City

Virginia merchants had a big
Christmas business despite the fact
that weather conditions were un-
seasonable for winter stocks and that
the annual holiday rush did not be-
gin until somewhat later than usual.
Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon all
the stores were crowded with buyers;
many of whom came from other
range towns and most of the mer-
chants say they are we'll pleased with
heir holiday patronage. The elec-
trio railway brought hundreds OF
out-of-town shoppers to the city dur
ing the week and Virginia merchants
made a special effort to demonstrate
to them that their efforts were
worth while. Stock taking began
today in several of the largest stores
of the city and local merchants gen
orally report one of the best business
years in the history of the city.
