MERCHANTS ENJOYED
Big BUSINESS AND
ALL WERE SATISFIED
Splendid Volume of Xmas
Business Is Reported.

A sell-out season practically ev.
erywhere.
This was the statement heard TO.
day among merchants.
Haberdashers. department stores,
specially shops. jewelers., in fact all
lines have had an overwhelming
volume OF trade during the past ten
days
The rush wasn't over until IL
o'clock Wednesday night. There are
always eleyenth-hour shoppers. Al
though the stores sold great quaint
tiles they had varied and attractive
assortments for all purchasers.
Department Stores were packed,
iammed and crowded all day We'd
nesday. Clerks working overtime
with no letting up of the terrific
barrage Of patrons.
According 10 haberdashers, the
demand for ladies' silk hosiery over
shot Il previous records.
Mems furnishings had big rush.
Women thronRed the aisles Of North
and South Queen street stores.
Clerks were utterly swamped- al
most helpless. Extra help WIS adj
ded, but TO no avail, the rush was
too much.
Christmas and snow saved the
lives of the hardware men Sleds
sold so fast, 50 did skates. Hard
ware dealers who thought they
We're oycr.boueht on gleds, would
give other slower moving commod-
tiles for few sleds and skates.
ut is "A funny thing about sleds
and skates" mused one storekeep-
or "rhoy can't be carried over, and
marked down to half price in July"
In spite Of the cold weather and
slippery sidewalks, people turned
out Wednesday in unprecedented
numbers 10 do more shopping.
In ALL It was the greatest Christ
mas season the merchants ever en-
joyed, and everybody appeared
glad when closing time came late
Wednesday night.
