CHRISTMAS BUYING

"Shortage of merchandise
seems to be the story as survey
of downtown stores revealed this
week that Christmas shoppers
were buying early, but are not al

shelves. The shopping picture IN
Wilmington compares favorably
with other cities in the country
where the same situation Is pre-
sented. o.
According to the merchants the
picture is:
1. It started early.
2. Business is on a par with 9TH
err years with but few exceptions.
3. There is a decided shortage
of wanted items in some lines.
4. Shoppers are combining reg
ular shopping with Christmas buy

In a number of the stores the
shelves seem to be filled with an
adequate supply of merchandise,
but according to the merchants,
the merchandise is not of the type
that the Christmas shopper is buy.

with a record of 100000 women

being discharged or re-enllstlng.
