Easter Parade Promises To Be Fan ciest In Many Years
Washington March 24 The 1942 Easter parade is expected to be the fanciest spring event in years as Commerce Department reports show Easter merchandise sales about a fourth higher than last year and well above 1929. Stores stock plentiful fashions and colors though silk stockings are scarce. Confectioners plan to supply candy eggs despite sugar rationing. Florists are prepared while wartime travel may dampen vacations and visits as tires and gasoline are conserved for war work. Much merchandise was manufactured before Pearl Harbor.
