Merchants Saturday

Business Should Be Good During
Remainder of the
Present Week

The slogan. DO Your Christmas
Shopping Early had apparently slip
ped out Of the minds Of Bennington
people until Saturday. There was
considerable buying at the local
stores each day last week and the
long lines of people standing in front
of the windows at the postoffice were
a sure indication that the gift pack
ages were going out in goodly mum
bers. Nevertheless, local merchants
complained that the Christmas shop
per was not showing much enthusi
asm and trade, while brisk, %fas not
enthusiastic.
Early Saturday forenoon a few scat
tering snowflakes drifted down out Of
the ozone and as though waiting for
the signal people flocked into the
streetsswi increasing numbers as
the day progressed. The crowds grew
larger during the afternoon and in the
evening the stores and the streets
were filled. When the tired clerks
and proprietors quit work close to
Sunday morning it was with the know
ledge that Bennington had experienc-
ed one of the biggest Christmas shop
ping days in its history.
There is no reason why Bennington
merchants should not do a good
Christmas business 1during the pres.
ent week. They have the goods in
stock and persons who have visited
the cities have returned with the in
formation that the big towns haven't
got anything on Bennington In the
way of prices. Comparisons show
tina, the same goods are, in many in.
stances, sold for less money in Ben.
