Record Christmas Trade Volume Foreseen

War News Fails
To Dim Spirits
f

i
F

t.

I I

The penetrating ray of Chrlat- aaas cheer broke through overcast

e skies and the pall of war Here laat
week to loose a record volume of
seasonal trade.,
Oa the baela of estimate! by
assay H; Spring merchants, representing most lines of merchandising, It was not overly optimistic
to predict an average gain of between 30 and 30 per cent for
ever the same month a
year age.
Indeed, some frankly repotted
fobaleus Increases in turn-ove- r
eae ranging up to 19 per centl
Several businessmen queried
were Indefinite about percentages,
but all were agreed that business
was well ahead of the volume for
Zeeember In 1940, just as the entire harvest seaeea has shown
sparkling gains.
"And another startling thing
about Christmas buying was' that
weather and not the war played
the greatest part in slowing down
aetlvlty. 'While Monday morning
trade dropped off as people recovered from the shock of war, it
rattled the same afternoon. On the
ether hand, Wednesday generally
appeared to have been the slowest
day of the week, and that was the
day a slow, cold rain fell over the
area.
Seme thought that the lull the
forepart of the week was due more
to the transition period from harvest to Christmas buying. As to
what effect war was having on
buying, one merchant said he did
sot know, but that he was plenty
happy with the way it was.
A. variety store operator said
lbs past week was the biggest yet.
A composite of this type of merchandising indicated gains of 23 to
24 per cent. A clothing depart
saeat store reported brisk buying,
attributed to the fact that many
are making the most of this
Christmas, not Tcnowing what the
seat will be like,
Definite estimates were lacking
ia this field, but It looked to be
far ahead of the same time a year
age, A general department store
reported lots of buying and ao
slew dowa from the war. A comparatively new appliance store reported whopping, gains over the
previous month. Others with this
taslfleaUon were doing well, and
hardware units were keeping busy.
Reports of gains from Jewelry
fcoaceras, drugs, hardwares and
satseeQaaeous
ranged
businesses
dealing la moderately priced items
Strom SO per cent for smaller stores
to an 13 per cent plus gain by a
heavy merchandising firm.

additional revenue
