Stores in Frenzy of Buying

Harassed sales girls, wide-eyed

taking advantage of their Saturday
off, milled through Washington's
department stores today in a frenzy
of Christmas shopping.
Youngsters were out in force to
talk to Santa Claus and to gaze at
the widest variety of toys since pre-
war days.
In stores with toy shops, it was
virtually impossible to get near the
doll counters where mothers and
doting aunts made up most of the
crowd.
Sales people had been briefed in
advance on the limitations on the
size of gifts that could be sent
through the mails during the coal
strike.
Explaining to customers that a
fairly large bottle of cologne could
not be shipped because its protective
wrapping would make the package
too big added to the headaches OF
the sales girls.

Store managers noted a trend
away from the purchase of purely
luxury items, but said customers
generally were taking what they
could get.
The managers complained that
scarcity of sales help was sas great
as during the war, although custo-
mers seemed to expect more service
than in wartime.
Taking advantage of good shop
