FORT WORTH. Tex, December IL
Sales OF mems clothing have broken
all records hero in the last week.
Merchants bought heavy stocks of
these goods for the first time in three
years this fall. and were threatened
with disaster by the unusually warm
weather, but when winter finally
made it's appearance the demand was
overwhelming. II looked as if near
ly every Texan and Oklahoman need
cd an overcoat and had delayed its
purchase until the first freeze.
The retail shoe business. which has
also worried southwestern dealers. has
had steady revival The cotton
seed shortage. which bothered Texas
planters last year, is not in evidence
this year. and record amount of
seed is held today in every cotton
county in anticipation of greater
acreage next year.
