CHORAL CLUB CHANGES
TIME AND PLACE

At the meeting of the Choral
Club last "Wednesday night it was
decided to change the time and
place of the rehearsals. The club
will meet hereafter on Thursday
nights at 1880 in the studio of Mrs.
Camblos, just across from the Meth
odist Church.
1t was learned that choirs of the
different churches must practice
after prayermeeting on Wednesday
nights. This prevented their at
tending the rehearsals of the Choral
Club, although they wished to do
so. Beginning at $50 made it too
late to get in as much practice as
the club wished at the rehearsals.
To get a comfortable and conven-
lent place in which to meet first de-
termined the use of the Methodist
Church, as it would be already heat
ed and is very nearly a central loca-
ton. The members of the club ap-
preciate the kindness shown them
in the use of the church, and wish
to express their thanks for this fav-
or.
With the former difficulties re-
moved, it is expected that the at
tendance will be largely increased,
that more will be accomplished. and
that the club will be ready soon to
give the concerts for the benefit of
the different churches-the purpose
for which it was organized.
1t was thought earlier that the
proceeds of the first benefit concert
given should go to the Methodists,
since they had so generously offer
ed the use of their building. But
strong appeal for aid was made by
the BaptistB at the last netting;
and as their need seems more ur-
gent just now because of the addi-
ton being built to their church, it
was agreed TO give the first of
these concerts for them.
All who are interested will please
remember the time and place
Thursday night at 1880 at Mrs.
Camblos' studio in the Black Bui;G-
ing-and be there promptly.

shade. She was in gold lace and
net over yellow brocaded satin and
wore gold slippers. Instead of a
big bouquet she held her cherub of
daughter, little Nell Northcutt,
who was such~an alluring and gra-
cious bit of baby hood every one
longed to steal her. She played
with the long strand of pearls
around her mothers neck and calm
ly received the homage of each
guest as they smiled upon her. Over
the mantel in the living-room in an
oval frame is picture, posed ma
donna wise, of Mrs. Gilbert and lit
tie Nell and it was the gem above
all other decorations.
The reception room was hung

leaves

bananas and purple grapes. On the
handle was a bow of black tulle and
similar ones We're on the corners of
the table to match the flights of
black cats, bats and witches on the
curtains

&etail sales by leading merchants New Britain in six representative Es of business showed an average Tease of 2S per cent. In Novem-
 1915, over November 1914. This NroVement in local business con-
 fpns is revealed by the second an
 Fl merchandising .. research report 1.-the Associated Advertising clubs he World which has just been
 Hived here.
 Elothiers enjoyed an increase of Rper cent. in retail sales; hardware Hers, 31 per cent. and jewellers, Kper cent. The increase in jewelry KS is regarded as particularly sig
 1fant and indicative of prosperous Eness conditions as people gen
 Ely buy luxuries only when they
 prosperous. New Britain was se- Ned by the research committee as
 of the marketing centers of the sted States and information ob-
 led from local merchants is in
 Fed in this comprehensive report.
 Consumer demand in 1915 as indi- Ed by retail sales throughout the
 |ted States increased approxi-
 #ely 16 per cent. over 1914, and
 &ections improved materially. In Epiling the report November was |en as an index month to business kditions.
 The investigation touched nearly
 leading market centers in every E of the United States and in Q knber of Canadian cities, covering
 Hes selling both 1uxuries and nec-
 Ities. Grocers, jewellers, depart At store owners, hardware deal E clothiers and druggists, repre- Eing the six lines of business ln- 1igated, willingly opened their fzs to the hundreds of investiga- who interviewed them.
 One Thousand Investigators.
 Encouraging increases in sales In
 lines investigated were reported Ectically everywhere in the United Ees and the average increase over F4 in business in all the thousands Etores that participated was shown Ehave been 15.93 per cent. Busi- 6s conditions in 1915 as compared En those in 1914 following the out Eak of the European war were Ededly improved.
 Io less than 1000 investigators Ted upon and interviweded mer- Ints Tn leading marketing centers. |each city at least three represen- |ve merchants in each of the six @s investigated were interviewed.

his City's Retail Trade 28 Per Cenf. Better Than in IA

 ported All Over U. S.

Assurance was given that names of individuals of firms would not appear
 in the report, the object being to present only figures showing percent age of increase or decrease.
 The investigations were made by commercial club secretaries and . members of local advertising clubs, under the general direction of Mac l Martin, of Minneapolis.
 Increase in Advertising. Sales, local advertising, collections and the amount of stocks carried by
 merchants in November, 1915, were compared with those of November, 1914, and November, 1913, to get the facts for the research report. Busi- ness experts concede that 'as is No vember, so is the years business in retailing," and November is recOg- nized as an index month in the bus mess world.
 The frequency with which the in vestigation showed that sales rise as advertising is increased in a com
 munity-that increased sales and in creased advertising go hand in hand is an interesting feature of the re- port. An average increase of 2.7 per cent. in local advertising through
 out the country is disclosed Retail CTS increased the stocks they are
 carrying 4.S1 per cent.
 Consumers Buying Iuxuries. Satisfactory increases in jewelry ! sales were reported in practically every city, the average jewelry sales for the country being 1S.9 per cent.
 higher than those in 1914. This shows that people everywhere are buy1ng luXuries, which is taken as a certain indication of good business, for ne
 cessities naturally come first and luXuries afterward.
 An interesting fact which the re-
 port divu1ges is that while the jew
 eler's sales increased more, propor-
 tionately, than those of the grocer, as a rule, collects what is due him
 with much greater ease than any other kind of merchant.
 Collections Above Normal.
 Tn addition to the fact that con- sumer demand-retaiI sales-showed a healthy increase. collections also were better, the average for the whole country being 5.6 points above normal as compared with 1914. The point system of scoring collections, as used in the report, consists of as SlgnlnS 4U pOlntS TOT a report or poor collections, 60 points for a re- port of normal collections and 80 points for a report of good collections. The reports of the retailers are thus given numerical value for the pur- pose of tabulation and averages
