More Cooperation
Is Noted This Year
In Xmas Shopping
Public Buying ON a Scien-
iific Basis, Business Ex.
pecied 10 Break Record
Despite 5 hort Season

Cooperation between the public and
retail merchants on tbs Christmas
shopping proposition has been more
apparent this year than ever before, In
the opinion Of The head Of one Of the
leading fifth Avenue department
stores. He points 10 the fact that
Christmas business this year probably
will break al records, despite the fact
that Il has been crowded into . rsls-
lively short space u time.
"Few people began their Christmas
shopping until after Thanksgiving" he
said. "and Thanksgiving this year came
nearer 70 Christmas than u he's Tor
many years past. This threw the bur.
den Of the holiday business into =
shorter space Of time, but from my
personal observation The Christmaa
shopping this year has been accom-.
plished with more orderliness thaH
ever before.
II think that the explanation lies n
changed psychology on the part of
the public. Trained in the Lass Two
years IN making their money 90 ~ far
a. they can. Ia judging quality and ap-
propriatoness Of merchandise, the gen
erai public has gone about is Christ
mas buying moro scientifically this
year. More people are making lists
and have decided beforehand what they
are going 20 buy Tor gifts. Thus We
fnd that most Of The Shoppers enter
the store with something definite n
mind, rather than with an idea q look
ing over host ~ departments IN the
hope tha, they will see some piece OF
merchandise that may do for = gift.
This certainly has made The task Of
the merchant much easier"
One thing that nearly All merchants
have noticed in tho Christmas busi-
ness up 10 date Is the fact that the
general desire Of the public FOR better
quality is marked. This does not necet-
sarily mean that more expensive gifts
have been bought Rataer IL meahs
that the public taste has improved.
More beauty and higher quality haTe
been demanded.
The call FOR strictly utilitarian msf-
ehandise has not been exceptional this
year Novelty goods, toys, etep have
moved In better quantities than many
merchants anticipated As result
there has been considerable reordering
Of mis- class Of merchandise within
the last TWO weeks. Sizing up orders
on gloves, underwear and other small
articles OF apparel, which fall into the
semi-luxuty class and are suitable a..
Christmas gifts, have been frequent.
Additional calls have been made upon
the wholesale toy trade with the result
that jobbers' stocks are clean. In fact,
one or two local stores have bought
jobbers' and manufacturers samples 20
on In their own depleted stocks, with
still another week to 90.
