ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 13.-Christ-
mas shopping started along the Board
walk this week, and feminine visitors
pressed rolling chairs into service to
carry their bundles. Alert proprietors
Of smart shops along the big promenade
are reaping harvest of profit from
the big winter crowd and report large
sales Of jewels and furs for the fortu-
nate members Of wealthy families who
are here to spend the holidays.
Carloads Of Christmas trees came in
during the week despite the embargo
on general freight caused by the coal
shortage, and newly arriving motorists
had their cars filled with holly and
laurel. Farmers along the roads
against looters Of their lands and are
making money selling gathered greens
to the travellers.
Deer shooting opens next week, and
great preparations are going on among
the sportsmen who expect to make kills
in the mainland woods. Deer are more
plentiful than in years, and early in
vitations are going out for game din
ners in the hotels or at the country
clubs.
New Trade Agreement Sought
Earnest effort is being made by
manufacturers and workmen to keep
down the price of stoves and heaters,
according to leaders attending the con-
ference of the Stove Founders Asso-
citation and the delegates from the In
ternational Moulders, held this week
at the Marlborough Blenheim. The con-
terence expects to reach trade agree
ments that will prevent labor troubles
in the stove foundries during the COM
ing year.
Fortunate Atlantic City has not been
heavily hit by the cutting down Of
train service because of the coal strike,
and the holiday crowd is expected to
be the largest ever known at Christ
mas. Many reservations are being
made, and about the only business
gloom is among the managers Of cafes
and smart Boardwalk restaurants, still
uncertain as to whether they will be
able to unload boarded stocks of liquor
during the festivities.
