The amount of insiuil- ment puyments which into arrears is rems Merchandising expert er- ican people are essentially honest. Moreover, buyers seldom default on purchase on an article they really want. Distributors and advertising ex- perts of retail stores make a sharp distinction between an article a buy- er needs and one he heally wants. The fact that a customer may need & new pair of shoes does not insure that they will be bought, but if customer wants a fine pair of shoes, | it is pretty sure they will be bought. | Department store advertising men are urging that stores take the front pages of the newspapers as models | for the news value in their own copy. “We tell the same story so often, sald William J. Brown, advertising director of James McCreery Co., today. “We tell our customers again | and again what we want to tell them instead of telling what they want to know. Let us learn a trick from the newspapers and make our copy real news.” Carry Many Accounts. The new credit accounts opened do not entirely reflect the actual num- ber of new credit customers. Wom- en who formerly had charge accounts in one or ‘two stores at most now carry accounts in a half dozen or more. This has come about partly because of the eager solicitation of merchants and party from the fa. cilities with which adjustments re- garding goods are made with credit customers. One fashion and shopping expert said today that women with a num- ber of charge accounts do not buy | any more freely than before, but that | they felt there was a tendency on the part of store managements to accommodate credit customers in the matter of delivery and exchange to a greater extent than cash cus- tomers, whose trade may be tran- sient. The fact, reported from a dozen centers throughout the country, that individual sales of holiday ~goods were larger this year than ever be- fore is taken to mean not a return of extravagance but a general ad- vance in prosperity. Merchants as widely separated as Boston and At- lanta reported today that sensible gifts are the rule and have displaced the novelties and luxuries of other vears. Goods of expensive quality, however, are in greater demand than ever before. - 3 BANK IS OPTIMISTIC. Good Business in Prospect for First Half of 1927. CHICAGO, December 13 (A).—In a statement discussing the trend of business, the Continental and Com- mercial Bank today says: “Good busi- ness is in prospect for the first half of 1927." “There Is no reason to expect other .than the usual seasonal vi ’ money rates. L The January rate should bit. Likcwise the February March there will be a seas ing, but the April rate should recede again. Not until Julr should the rate begin to show signs of working up toward the Autumn peak. “The opinion that something lke the usual seasonal variation in money at an easy lcvel may be expected— % expecting busines ness, during the fi NEW YORK MARKETS.

Janetzke, jr., ap- praiser of customs. There has been a great volume of Christmas goods through the port this season, said Mr. Janetzke. It has been the largest season he has known. More goods are being imported now act that Baltimore is becoming the distributing center of a great terri- he says. And at the same time are more Am n-made toys on the market.
