Light Snow Raises Spirits
Yesterday's light snowfall may be the forerunner of an effort on the part of old man winter to provide a white Christmas for
the people of the province.
Should the snow continue, sales wil increase ag more cus- tomers gain the Christmas spirit and complete their gift lists in local stores.
Wearing apparel heads the list of most popular gift items this year, department store officials agreed though there was a not- iceable difference of opinion re- garding the retail sales volume compared to last season.
One businessman reported av- erage sales, another said it was every bit as good as last year while another stated the volume was higher.
Toy purchases have also met with diversified reaction. One store manager reports that the public are more interested in practical and useful toys such as shovels and_ kindergarten sets
Another merchant said the em- phasis has been on quality toys and battery operated Japanese goods. The third businessman in- terviewed agreed that quality was being stressed and noted a heavy demand fort heavy plastic
trucks. :
No significant price changes have been reported but the cheap- er variety of toys are generally losing favor.
