Gods messenger has again called

The death of William Abbott occurred
at his home in Vail following a long

Holiday Trade

Large numbers of people have al
ways waited for the purchase of winter
supplies until Christmas trade was over
They look for bargains to be advertised
soon after New Year and no doubt there
will be these chances this year.
1t Is never possible to clean out a
winter stock except by special drive
at this season. These are times when
the merchants find it necessary to car
ry as small stocks as possible. Goods
run to money very fast. If they carry
over considerable stocks they will have
a great many dollars locked up in them
on which obey must pay high rates OF
interest.
Conditions in retail trade are so mix
ed and upset that it is difficult to fore
see the future. 1t is time when small
stocks and big cash balances are desir
able. Goods are reported scarce al
though the stores seem we'll filed: Still
people often have trouble in getting
what they ask for. iy3 ,.atstt7t p31'lai
But even assuming that stocks OF
goods, are below normal; they are held
at such high figures that "a decline in
sprices would mean heavy loss. Some
sday the shortages tdue ITO temporary
war time conditions will 4be supplied.
Goods will begin to accumulate and
then prices will drop. The check re.
ported torexport trade mustnaccentuate
that tendency. t',+s fs.'t.'st - ''.>!F'
d The merchants who now proceed To
advertise their winter stock freely and
turn it into money at reasonable figures
will be in a position to adjust them.
selves to any price level that may ap-
pear. They will not be subject to loss
ses due ito the style changes which fol:
low each other with bewildering rapid
tty. The public is right in looking for
bargains following the holiday period.
The live men who advertise in the Re
view will have something interesting to
say on this question. n
