(C.,P. By Guardian's Special tWlre) While cash registers iingied mar- rily, merchants across Canada. to- day stood ready for the final spurt oi a Christmas trade widely le- garded as the best the nation has seen since the onset of the world depression. From Winnipeg came word that the West was having its brightest Christmas in iive years while Montreal merchants had exper- ienced none to equal it since 1930. A statement from the Ontario Retail Merchants‘ Association was more qualified while the Mari- times reported s. slight general in- crease which was expected to ex- pand toward the end oi the week. A rising retail volume, particu- larly in lines of household neces- sities which have reached the re- placement stage, was reported by George S. sughan of the Ontario Retail Merchants’ Association. In clothing and allied lilies he heard from retailers that there was a steady demand for reasonably priced merchandise. 1n almost ev- ery line oi consumer goods, he said. there was a larger turnover than in 1933 but a sustained in- crease awaited iurther activity in the construction industry, he thought. In the Maritlmes, a marked im- provement was noted in the Cape Breton area. Due to greater em- ployment in the mines and steel works there. At, Saint John, N. 3., sales were said to be better than last year and business volume was gradually increasing to a level above that or the past few years. All lines of trade were reported showing a. distinct improvement in Western Canada. Victoria. B. 0.. told oi.’ slightly improved business with jewelry stores registering the best sales in iivo years. Vancouver business was said to be fair with a greater volume expected. In Calgary, activity was well ahead oi i933, one store noting a 10 percent rise in sales. Edmonton felt much ireer spending with a good demand ior higher quality goods. Regina sales were slightly higher than last. year while at Saskatoon there was concrete ev- idence that farmers had more money than they had last Christ- mas. . Henry Detchom, general manag- er oi the Canadian Credit Men's Trust Association in Winnipeg, iound business “much better" than last year. Particularly good. he said, was the business which the east was doing with Western Canada. This trade was “away up." Business Better Than Last Year (C. P.
