CHRISTMAS TRADE WAS GOOD.
yesterday was the biggest day the
Moscow postoffice has ever known"
said Postmaster Morgareidge. He re-
ferred to the number of packages sent
out by parcels post Tuesday, when all
previous records for one day were
broken.
These packages were brought from
Moscow merchants, All of the tons
of presents sent out from Moscow
came from Moscow stores. Every
merchant in Moscow tells the same
story that Postmaster Morgareidge
told. The Christmas trade has been a
record breaker. The great stores of
Moscow, with their well selected
stocks of seasonable goods have en-
dyed their share of the prosperity so
abundant in this country.
Moscow stores lead all stores in the
inland Empire and draw trade from a
WIDER area than any other town, be-

i merchants to be found anywhere.
hey are good buyers and this means
pod sellers for they are enabled to
ndersell the merchants of other
owns, for two reasons: They buy for
,ss and are contented with smaller
rofits.
