CHRISTMAS TRADE
OVER LAST YEAR
BY GOODJARl
Capacity Crowds In Stores
Hindering Selling in Some
Places Is Dun Report.
New York, Dec. 22. (IP)
Holiday shoppers gave a big lift
to the week's retail trade and
compensated for the disappoint
ing movement earlier in Decem
ber, Dun and Bradstreet's re
ported today in their weekly re
view.
In some Instances, the re
view asserted, capacity attend
ance at stores hindered selling.
The Increase in volume for the
nation over the corresponding
period last year was estimated
at 5 to 13 percent.
"On a regional basis," it con
tinued, "sales comparisons again
were most favorable In the more
highly Industrialized areas. The
average gain for both New Eng
land and the east was estimated
at five to 11 percent, while the
middle west, despite the slow
turnover In drought stricken
farm districts, was ahead by 8
to 16 percent.
"Merchants In the south noted
a freer spending mood resulting
from the recent upward trend
In cotton prices, and reported
an average increase of 5 to 13
percent. The trade in the south
west was 3 to 7 percent higher
and In the northwest 4 to 9 per
cent greater. Spottiness charac
terized trends on the' Pacific
coast, but most cities showed
a total 3 or 4 percent above
last year's."
Wholesale markets settled
down to their customary year
end lull.
1939 SEAL SALES
OVER LAST YEAR,
A definite Increase In sale of
Christmas seals over last year
was Indicated in the first tabu
lation, reported this week by
Miss Helen Bums, Jackson coun
ty chairman of the annual drive
to combat tuberculosis. If the
increase continues Jackson
county will receive the best
Christmas gift of all, more
money with which to insure the
health of her people.
Stamps are now on sale at
the chamber of commerce and
can be obtained at several
stores, where gifts are bein-;
wrapped. The booths at the post
office and Montgomery Ward
store closed Thursday for
Christmas. Anyone wishing
seals, however, can obtain them
at the chamber of commerre
or by calling Miss Bullls. Ask
for them, where you buy your
gifts, Miss Bullis advised this
morning, adding that several
concerns and individuals had
cnlled for extra seals. The sit
uation Is most gratifying and all
calls will meet with an immedi
ate response for seal sale work
ers want to feel that every per
son who wishes to use the
cheery Christmas seals, will be
enabled to do so before Christ
mas. Reports from the neighboring
communities participating in the
annual sale are now coming in.
The two tabulated, Prospect
and Butte Falls, showed a def
inite pain over returns for last
year.
