LOCAL HOLIDAY
BUSINESS GOOD
Some of the Largest Store Men
Say it Was the Best in Their
History.

Two of Wilmingtons leading dry goods
merchants declared today that the vol
1,,ne of Christmas business for thus sea-
son was greater than the sales of last year,
generally acknowledged TO have been
record breaker
Another merchant charac, ,erlzed tins
seasons business rs 'vcfv satisfactory.
wbjlr the manager of another one of the
largest stores said that the number ol
buvcrs tins wear had been greater than
last hat that the total volume ot business
had been less. 4 fifth merchant, dealing
chiefly in mems garments, reported that q
midi winter thus far had contributed IN
MINIMIZING sale of heavier clothes,
The general opinion, however, seems
20 h., that business dcpress ION does not
cZ5et MI the present time, and that nj
though Christmas shoppers were inclined
n l,,uchasc necessities, there IS plenty Of
money IN circulation.
In the words of enc OF the department
store officials, adjust ments o. prices are
IN progress and influence the attitude OF
the huving public to some degree u
must also be- taken INTO consideration,
IN the opinion Of merchants, that prices
were much higher at the Christmas season
Of last Year than this year.
While IL Is felt that there has not been
large volume of sales OF men s winter
garments. including underwear and tur
coats. due To the fact that the wy~ter has
not been especially cold and men buy such
clothes when they are needed to wear
immediately. the market for women
anperel IS said 10 have held up strongly. =
one IF the largest Market street de-
rartment store heads declared this
raornirg that this Christmas seasons
business was phenOmnal. and IN his
stone had been much greater than The
exceptionally large volume OF last sea-
sons business, being IN fact the heaviest
holiday season IN a score Of years.
His report was the most optimistic
OF those received from SIN Of the largest
local stores. Another merchant sans that
while his business was thoroughly gratl-
fving, it was only a trihe more than that
Of last year.
4 store dealing exclusively IN garments
for men and boys declared that the NUM-
bar of purchases was Large, but the sale
az haavie garments had been light rs z
result Of weather conditions. He added that
with the higher prices of last season thc
volume Of BUSINESS from financial stand
poirt was naturally greater. he said that
a great number Of small articles had been
sold this year. but not Of large ones.
That the reaction from war time con-
oition has come suddenly and should as
quickly pass. was an opinion expressed,
with the conclusion that the reat ret
