NearlY Million Visitors

.
1t is estimated by statisticians that
$4,000 visitors come here every day
in the week and that they stay here
on an average of three days making
nearly a million visitors in little old
New York at enc time. The eXpendi-
lures of the visiting 100000, it is es
timated, average about s2,l00,oo0
thus, each visitor blows in close to
$40 a day OF this amount about
$52000O day is passed over the
cashiers desk Of lobsterias for eats
and liquids, hotel bonfaces collect
about 100000 for lodgings and meals,
theaters get about s9OO,O0a more and
s2Se00O is used up for side trips.
Then there is the department stores
They certainly get large slice of
this festive coin Statisticians esti-
mate that the shopping tours cost
women visitors $4,000 per day, but
others say this sum is far below the
actual amount expended by the fair
sex.
