The merchants are more than pleased

will be done to carry out the instruc-
tions of the council to make ( hrisima

only says A D McMullm secretary oi
the Hetailers' association
The national council had at first
planned to confine Christmas gifts this
year to Liberty bonds and War Saving
stamps biit in explaining its modifies
tinn the council said that it had been
advised in conference with represen-
tatives of the leading industries and
retail interests that the manufacture
and delivery of goods for the coming
holiday srasnn has been substantially
completed Moreover. the louncil
learned that much of the material usrd
for Christmas purchases especially in
the manufacture of toys is thr wastf
material drrivfd from prior procrssrs
of manufacture.
No Holiday Forces.
The retail interests have agreed lint
to increase their working (nrre bv rea-
son of the holidav business over the
average force employed by thrin
throughout the year and to avoid
the congestion of transportation fa-
cilities during the latter half of De-
cember they will begin their advertis-
ing in September and use their utmost
efforts to spread the period of holiday
purchases over the months of October
Novenilier and December.
Retailers have always advocated the
purchase of useful gifts says McMullen
and this year evetv greater stress will
he placed on this plan The only in
provement that could he suggested nn

. il would he to make the buying of only
useful gifts imperative instead of vol
