 notch of prosperity. New records were made in many a store in the
 business section during the past ten
 days and Wednesday, the first day
 after the holiday. found the business
 and men in excellent. humor. The
 statement was repeatedly made that
 the Christmas sales were far ahead of any records heretofore made in DanielSon. The very liberal business is ac- counted for in number of ways. Un- doubtedly the chief reason for the flood of money that poured through
 trade channels is the surprisingly high wages being paid in manufacturing plants in Danielson and vicinity; The
 payrolls of these concerns are thous- ands of dollars weekly over what they ever were before at Christmas time.
 There is plenty of work for every
 one and about everyone is working
 Another factor in boosting the
 Christmas trade undoubtedly was the money released to hundreds of mem
 !1ers of Christmas and Thrift clubs
 conducted during the last twelve
 months by the commercial banks in
 town. It is estimated that nearly
 $SO 900 was released to members of Christmas and Thrift clubs conducted during the last twelve months by the commercial banks in town. It is es- timated that nearly $30,000 was re-
 leased to members of these clubs on
 December IS. Much of this went to
 swell the Christmas trade, though not all of it.
 Christmas of 1917 found business in Danielson enjoying such a high degree of prosperity as to astonish
 business men of many years experf- ence. Many of them made great rec OrdS in their stores last year, but this year all past records were eclipsed.

 nadian soldiers. they are not accus- toned to the French tobacco and can not smoke it with comfort. | Those who want to send gifts to the soldiers cannot please the fighting | men with anything more to their lik- | ing than some real smokes from the L.. s. A.
 "I'd give weeks pay for just one good American cigar or package of | tobacco" one hankering youngster states. in a letter that has just been received from France. heer1 ha a
