Merchants Gear Up for Early Christmas Shopping
An Associated Press survey finds retailers in multiple cities expect higher early demand for Christmas goods due to wartime anxieties and overseas shipments. Managers from Woolworth, J.C. Penney, and other chains report buyers starting earlier than in prior years, with 25 to 30 gift wraps prepared and stock outpacing last year. Some local merchants note public complaints about rising costs but agree early display and promotions draw shoppers. Alfred Pierotti of Titche-Goettinger in Dallas says the trend has continued for 20 years.
