While local merchants have found business unusually good this fall and their Christmas trade also excellent, they do not expect the real boom un- . til Saturday afternoon and evening of this week and from then until Christ mas, inasmuch as the hundreds of people in the Christmas clubs at the banks will not get their Christmas checks until tomorrow although some were received today. This means that New Britain people will have about $200,00O to spend and it is safe to state that a goodly percentage of the amount spent will be received by local dealers

 Up to date the December shopping has eclipsed all previous records and indications are that the year will be a banner one.

Almost every store is tastefully decorated throughout. New Britain takes place second to none this year in her busi- ness enterprises.
 The variety of stores makes it pos sible for the purchaser to obtain about anything desired All the stores are fully equipped with a com- Dlete line of stock in their own par ticular field.
