Merchants Find Normalcy Trend In Yule Business
Merchants in Monroe say this Christmas was closer to normal than wartime. Gift buying was solid though not at 1947 levels with lower prices and more available goods. Some stores hit impressive targets while others saw surprises in demand for affordable electric trains and smaller appliances. The Postal Record notes a $20,000 rise in 1949 business over last year due to a busy temporary mailing ring and a 10 percent rate increase, with earlier-than-usual Christmas mailing and improved wrapping and addressing. The post office will observe holiday hours Monday with lobby access only and no carrier deliveries.
