The question Of who is to blame

first SD Day produced a reduc-
ton in the national tolls of deaths

demonstrated that the place to at

The Importance of Christmas
business to retailers is taken for
granted, but the actual figures
stress it even more dramatically.
Between so and l55 per cent Of all
toys and games sold by stores this
year will be sold in the next five
weeks.
In the same period stores will
sell more than 2O>per cent Of their
annual volume of radios and tele-
vision sets, more than 25 per cent
of their years sales of silyerware
and jewelry, IS per cent of their
annual sales of books. and station
cry, and 40 per cent of their entire
years volume of handkerchiefs
They will sell more fancy gift
wrapping than their statisticians
can measure, and will give away
more of it than they like to con-
template.
Within the next fortnight holi-
day decorations will be hung, drap-
ed, plastered and prOpped up in
stores from coast to coast. This
years trimmings will have less of
an ulterior motive than ever be-
fore. There is little need to instill
a festive buying spirit in people who
are anxiOusly awaiting the oppOr-
tunity to buy.
But Christmas is not without
problems for the retailer. One sta
tistic about which he has mixed
feelings is the level Of employment
There are now more than 65,00O,-
900 Americans gainfully employed.
Those who are earning money have
money to spend. But full employ
ment makes it extremely difficult
for stores to hire the extra help
they need to serve the Christmas
trade.
This year the labor market is
at its tightest. Retailers, who al
ways depend on marginal members
Of the labor force to tide them over
at busy periods, have to dig hard
to find enough extras. Macy's New
York took an ad in Variety to en-
tice show people who find them
selves "at liberty" into taking tenn
porary Christmas jobs.
One way to stretch the sales force
as much as possible is through self
service techniques, and this Christ
mas season finds many stores us
ing. self-service fixtures in their
toy and gift Departments. Most de-
partmert stores hesitate to de-
prive customers of the service they
expect, but they know customers
would prefer to. forego individual
attention than to fight for the atten-
ton of Overworked clerks.
And them, of course, there's
Santa Claus. He, too, is enjoying
full employment. For decades Mil
ford has had a Santa CLAUS on
hand to assist in turning children's
wishes into happiness.
The aura of confidence in Mil
ford retail circles over Christmas
prospects was strengthened still
further last week. Excellent pre-
holiday sales have made retailers
even more bouyant. Their bullying
Christmas inventories look smaller
every day.
And barring flood, fire, plague or
a price war, this years Christmas
trade will be profitable as we'll as
