done by the retailers Saturday exceed
ed that Of last Christmas eve by al
4 least twenty-five per cent, and inter,

of any Christmas eve in the history OF
our store,s declared J. 8. Turner, Jr,,

bur sales Tor last Christmas eve by
thirty percent and even went over the
high mark set back in the boom days
