of this city enjoyed a large and in

business. A survey of the larger re.

Christmas trade as large or larger

making comparisons that in most
lines the 1919 Christmas business
was the largest in history and rec

The stores in which the survey
was made, included the following
lines: Dry goods, hardware, womens
