Do Your Christmas Shopping
SOUTH FLORES STREET

Many factors enter into the max
ing of n successful retail district. OF
first importance is the type OF store
or shop and the prices they charge
and the service they render. Next
comes accessibility. architecture and,
in these days, parking space and
traffic conditions.
For this reason, many of the older
retail districts in the larger cities of
America are finding the business slip
ping and new retail districts, located
more advantageously, springing up.
To offset this situation. the older
districts have been compelled TO adopt
traffic regulations, put on special
sales offering unusual inducements to
customers and various other methods
to stimulate trade.
In San Antonio, traffic congestion.
due to our street system. is one of
the prime factors in merchandising.
1t is a more pronounced problem
here than in the average city of go
900.
For that reason. South Flores
street, one of the oldest retail streets
in the city, acted most wisely when
the last widening project was put on.
Today, no street in San Antonio is
rs free from traffic congestion as
South Flores street. Traffic acci-
dents have practically been elimin-
ated.
Moreover. the merchants there.
with good business acumen, enlarged
and beautified their stores and shops
at the same time the street was i'm
proved SO that they have large, well
lighted stores which compare favor
ably with similar business houses
anywhere.
Efficient help makes the service
rendered on South Flores street as
good as the retail service anywhere
in San Antonio. The woman shop
per, who buys probably so per cent
Of the merchandise. is especially
pleased with South Flores street be-
cause she can park for long periods
at the very door of the store or shop
she is patronizing.
Then. too. being out of the high
rental district, South Flores street
merchants are able to price their
merchandise on basis unequalled by
any retail district anywhere in the
city. South Flores street is de-
lightful place to trade.
