How much money Is spent every day in New York's square mile of shopping? How many hundreds, thousands, millions of dollars change hands every twenty-four hours in the area twenty blocks square, from Four- teenth street to Thirty-fourth street, inclusive? Remember, this area is not merely the shopping centre of the largest city on the Western Con- tinent, dut really the shopping centre of that continent. When Mrs. Knickerbocker and her country eousins from Georgia and Kansas and California go out to shop, how much do they spend? According to the most carefully con- sidered judgments of representative merchants in this great whirlpool of buying and selling, the total eum passed over the counter every Susiness day of the year ts not jess than 96,000,000 and very possibly mounts up to $10,007,000.) In abort, it would take the entire for- ‘tunes of from eix to to a dozen men ordinary accounted rich to pay one Gay's shopping bills in this square mile, No guch enormous sums change hands Jn any other great shopping centres of the world, The composure of the staid merchants of Bond and Regent strects, in London, would de rudely shattered if they were accused of “taking in” from 81,000,000 to 28,000,000 daily, Even fn the great and gay Parisian shops on the Rue de la Paix and the Ave- nue de YOpera such tremendous dis- bursements are unknown. New York has long deen known as the shoppers’ heaven, and now we see how densely populated is our paradise. ‘There is probably no street or ave- nue im the entire city which 1s wholly devoid ef shopping or shoppers. But a careful obeerver must agree that the most thoroughly shopped section is ‘bounded by Fourteenth street on the eouth and Thirty-fourth street on the orth, with Twenty-third street as a mid-ri>. This equare mile of course ex- tends east and west to include Broadway and Fifth and Gixth avenues.
