Miss Evelyn M. Latimer. who has
been wrapping and delivering, pack
ages during Christmas holidays for
several years, declared the volume
done In her department is from 20 to
30 per cent greater than q year ago
In the same store an executive dis
counted the claims Of larger volume
made by many store executives. He
declined to be quoted by name but
asserted:
Depression Put Behind.
"Our sales will not be much larger
than a year ago, but this much Ia GER
tain: We are coming out Of the de-
preston and we are experiencing an
time Christmas season, the kind
we had from 1929 back"
The executives of the large stores
were less willing to be quoted than
their employees. One of them ex-
planned that in the toy department of
his establishment, it was found that
they failed to stock enough toys, par
ticularly of the educational type for
children, and that manufacturers and
importers have been unable to supply
their needs.
"Our more expensive types Of toys.
however, are plentiful, and on the
whole we are pretty well stocked" he
said. 'It is only the less expensive
toys that are scarce, and the manu-
facturers underestimated demand as
much as We did,"
In another large store Miss Elizabeth
Holland, an inspector in the package
room for the past three holiday sea-
sons, explained that with q force 10
per cent larger than that last year,
wrappers, packers and mailers have
been compelled to work until am,
whereas regular hours ending at 9
o'clock give ample time to meet or
dinary demand. A year ago, she
added, only one or two nights of ex-
tremely long extra work were required
during the entire season, whereas
there were more last week than in all
of 1885.
More Packages Handled.
Mrs. Matilda Brown, also q veteran
OF several Christmas seasons, said the
volume Of packages handled 20 far
this year Is greater than q year ago.
The manager of . limited cost

the general trend; on q street, Q col
