STORES DISPLAYING COMPLETE STOCKS

Tl'.chmond stores -were crowded Saturday -with Christmas shoppers anxious to take advantage of the com pleta linos offered by local merchants. All shoppers found that the stores are carrying an unusually pood assortment of gins. Fathers, mothera and fond uncles and aunts found the toy displays contained the latest innovations in mechanical amusements for children along with the everwolcorue Rifts of dolls, drums, and other toys dear to the hearts of children. For the grownups, practical gifts were found on display In every store. All merchants were advising the shoppers to buy early, pointing out that last minute selections did not afford time for thoughtful giving and careful choice. Jewelry and novelty offerings -were said to surpass those of previous seasons and selections were mado easy by the large and attractive stocks. The release of approximately $200.000 Monday through payments made by local banks to members;! Christmas savings clubs is expected to make next week a record buying period. Clerks Helpful. Clerks were eager to advise "her" what to buy for "him," providing a way out of a dilemna for many. The young man was equally fortunate in obtaininghelp in determining his selection. Extra clerks had boon retained by practically every store to in?ure prompt attention to all customer.-. Many of the shoppers were from the vicinity of Richmond and from surrounding towns. Prices in local stores were said to be as low as prevailed anywhere and in many instances were lower. Merchants have gone to a great deal of trouble to see that their stocks were complete. They were busy today pointing out to customers that only 12 more shopping days remain after today until Christmas and that a delay might moan that fizps, patterns, and materials desired might be broken or gone when the last, minute shopper rushed in to make his purchases. Mail Early, Urge. The local postoffire is matching the buy early slogan of the merchants with a slogan of the same character, namely, mail early. Part of the Christmas mail already is being received at the local office. The nxt two weeks will be record ones for 1 ho clerks. Not only will early mailing assist the clerks, but it will also avert delayed gifts. Persons sending packages to relatives or friends in the distant army camps and on naval vessels or distant stations, have sent their packages and the cheer boxes are on their way to bring joy to the gobs and doughboys vho will be forced to spend Christmas away from home.
