KANSAS CITY, Novembet 25.—The Nation’s Christmas shoppers will spend 10 to 15 per cent more this year than last, in the belief of business ledders from coast to coast, Ol The buying rush is on, earlier and heavier than it has been in years. Merchants from metropolis to Main street expressed confidence today of volume surpassing all recent seasons. Spending in some leading cities is expected to be twice that of depression years. Reasons, given in a survey among business men the Nation over: “Pay rolls are going uh,” “prices | are higher,” “Federal aid,” “good crops,” “people have more spend—they want better goods.” The country’s retailers, feeling in- creased buying trends, trotted out their Christmas dainties early and found a ready market. More important to | them, they found an increased demand | for staple merchandise. Sales, they | sajd, are not limited to a pre-Christ- | mas rush. All lines are selling at a | pace akin to the good old days. “Uprush” in New York. Bernard F. Gimbel, president Gim- bel's, Inc, New York, said, “with | colder weather over the country there | has been an uprush of business, espec- | ially in the higher priced units, All | signs are most favorable.” { Tom May of the May Co., Los Angeles, predicted, “the volume will be about 50 per cent higher than it was last year. The answer is simple. People have more money to spend.” Dun & Bradstreet’s forecast for San Francisco was “best in years.” A. B. Trot, head of Daniels & | Pishers, Denver, said “the anticipated increase here is due to a number of causes, one of which is the fact mer- chants are receiving better prices for their goods.” *“The story is reflected on any finan- cial page,” declared L. L. Austin, head of a retail merchants’ association in Atlanta, Ga.
