Throughout the Nation this

they were shopping more care

They had become more selec-

Atlanta stores used the lucky
buck" idea with dollar bills re-
deemable for IS to $100 to hold
ers of the right serial numbers.
San Francisco and Denver
were two cities where less trade
was expected this year than last
year.
Savings were booming in San
Francisco but people were
stretching their dollars. Shop
ping was slow.
Effects of Drought.
Denver merchants looked for
slight drop from the 1852
shopping record. Drought and
low cattle prices in the agricul-
tural area around the city made
farmers and ranchers more cau-
tiouS with their money.
In Kansas City, the decrease
in farm income and the effects
of drought were factors, too.
But here it was generally ex-
pected that Christmas shopping
would equal or better last years.

Christmas Shoppers
| THONG StoresAs
Busiest Week Ends

The bells on Santa's sleigh
had a tuneful match yesterday
in the jingle of merchants cash
registers as shoppers surged
through stores.
Some officials of the larger
stores believed yesterdays busi-
ness made up for a disappoint-
ment felt the previous Saturday.
The second Saturday before
Christmas is -traditionally the
biggest day for sales of the year.
But last week end a soaking rain
kept the crowds at home and
Saturday lost its place in the
record books.
Peak for Season.
Three stores reported they be-
lieved yesterdays business would
be the peak for the season.
Most of the downtown estab-
lishments were open Monday
and Thursday from $50 am. to
9 pm. and those days last week
were big ones. Much Of the
preceding Saturdays misse d
business was made up on Mon
day and Thursday.
One big store said last Thurs
days business was the biggest
in its history.
"It was a wing-ding," an
official remarked.
Big Volume Reported.
How is the Christmas business
comparing with last year? The
answers ranged from 3 per cent
less to well over last years
volume" And considering that
last years business was of re-
cord proportions, a 3 per cent
drop would still leave whopping
big volume.
The police traffic division,
which normally contends with
vehicle snarls on a big shopping
day, said yesterdays traffic was
not so bad-not as bad as the
previous Saturday when the rain
made that day q wing ding
for police.
