IN GIFT SPLURGE
22 More Shopping Days Be
fore Christmas; People
Buying Anything Offered
By United Pren
There are only 22 more
shorjnina days until Christmas,
but the buying public doesn't
need to be told.
Ready to splurge wartime
earnings on their first peace
time Christmas in four years,
shoppers began Jamming the na
tion's stores two wecKs ago,
Buy Anything
One merchant described it as
"a regular frenzy they're buy
ing anything they can lay their
hands on.
The day after Thanksgiving
marked the official opening of
the shopping season. But on
Chicago's State street the Christ-
mas decorations, including
, mammoth chimney and a fire
place large enough to accommo.
date a street car in the hearth,
went up Nov. 10.
A Madison, Wis., department
store head said customers start
ed laying away Christmas gifts
Just August. Chrislmus mer
chundise began to move in Oma
ha about the middle of October.
And an Indianapolis merchant
said "It's been Christmas here
all year."
Most cities reported that the
dollar volume of sales was five
to 20 per cent higher than last
year.
"The volume of business Is
almost unbelievable," a Denver
store manager said. Ho predict
ed a shortage in all stocks "long
before Christmas."
Mora Gifts Offered
But a United Press survey In
dicated that supplies of most
gift items are larger than last
year. The chief shortages are
in household goods, sports
equipment and certain types of
clothing.
At one Chicago department
store women bought aluminum
pots and pans straight from the
liand trucks before saleswomen
could get them onto the shelves.
A shipment of 20 automatic
shotguns went in and out of an
Omaha sporting goods store in
less than 00 minutes.
In St. Louis clothing store
advertised men's white shirts In
a Sunday newspaper. On Mon
day the department was Jam
med. In Seattle, Christmas buying
began with V-J Day and by
Thanksgiving supplies of metal
toys and men's clothing virtual
ly had disappeared from the
shelves. The Chamber of Com
merce's retail branch termed
the spending spree the "biggest
Seattle will ever have."
Systematic savings in govern
ment guaranteed series "E" Vic
tory Loan bonds will return a
handsome profit if held for 10
years.

Writing from Washington.
D. C, Donald Campbell, 932
North Central avenue, stated
that he has been inspecting steel
and aluminum plants west of
the Mississippi River and is now
at the national capital with a
view to acquiring them from
the Reconstruction Finance cor
poration. Campbell, a member
of the Medford city council, is
president of the proposed Camp
bell Steel and Aluminum corporation.
Campbell wrote, "If we are
successful In acquiring the said
plants, now assuming the pro
portions of around 5400,000,000
investment, wo will immediate
ly place then in operation and
spread a new industry through
the country that will compare
very favorably with the automo
bile industry today.
Success Unknown
"Your guess is as good as
mine as to whether we will be
tho successful bidder among
several, but I am sure that we
alone have the only program
that will give the west an in
valuable permanent industry of
large proportions that will em
ploy in the neighborhood of
100,000.
"At present I am very much
concerned over the continuation
of freight rates from the inter
ior to the coast, and I have made
the offer to the major lines of
the west to allot them the same
percentage of finished products
over their lines that they hauled
west in the form of finished
products." '
When Campbell stopped in
Portland early in October en
route east he told reporters
there that he represented east
ern bankers, interested in ac
quiring western aluminum
plants, but refused to divulge
the names of his backers.
