Palais Royal = ISHOP EARLY MOVE 1S GIVEN IMPETUS Survey Here Reveals That Gift Purchasers Take Ad- vantage of Plan. | A survey of downtown retail stores | completed yesterday disclosed the Christmas shopping season in full | swing, it was reported by Edward D. | Shaw, secretary of the Merchants and | Manufacturers’ Association, promoting | the shop-early, mail-early movement in | association with District Postmaster W. M. Mooney. - Shaw points out that stores are crowded with shoppers and that pedes- trian and vehicular traffic in the down- town section has been greatly increased since the official opening of the cam. ! paign, November 17. | Move Proves General. | This corresponds with reports from |other large cities, indicating that the shop-early idea, promoted several years |ago to place holiday gift buying on a common-sense basis and to eliminate the eleventh-hour “hysteria” of former years, has gained a firm foothold. |” “The great trouble with the shop- early campaign in past years was that stores were not fully prepared to meet !the public's early-season demand,” Mr. | Shaw explained. “The stores got in a | habit of waiting until the big Christmas | rush _started. Surveys by our national | retail associations proved to us that | thousands of people liked the idea of making their gift purchases in Novem- ber or early in December, providing | they could make their selections from ! the complete holiday stocks. This year | Washington merchants made this mer- chandise available several days in ad- vance. The result has been very grati- ng to all concerned. Store Workers Pleased. “Those employed in the stores are | articularly gratified by the new twist f the older employes remember Christ- ‘mas shopping of former years as periods | of horror to every one connected witn | the store. Where the total volume of | gift buying was crowded into the few | days immediately preceding the holiday, | it meant long hours behind the counter, {of dealing with harassed customer: whose nerves likewise were frazzled. | The old system was unsatisfactory | the store owners, as it meant that ma"y | customers were dissatisfied with the treatment they received.” | CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.
