^Cold Weather Expected
To Start Holiday Buying
And With Only Thirty-five Shopping Days to Chrinlmas
While Some Merchants Watch Thermometer
Anxiously Others Start Advertising
By J. O. ROYTJC
CMirrlafeU I CM. to TIM Alma
New York. Nov. 11. ? There are'
36 shopping days before Christ-'
mas and merchants and manufac
turers are determined to make ev
ery one of them count. They ex- !
poet to do an enormous business i
during the holiday season. The .
Christmas clubs will distribute a ;
larger sum by a good many mil
lions than ever before. Employ- !
ment Is general. Wages are at a '
high lerel, the farmers have
money.
Caah Is not lacking but what ,
merchants need to give the initial !
stimulus to buying Is cold weath- '
er. The flrst things they look at
each morning are the thermome- (
ter and the weather forecast, but
k they are going ahead with prepar
1 otions nevertheless.
Many merchants and distribu
tors are seeking to overcome the
unseasonable warmth by advertis
ing. and advertising men are after
them hot foot figuring the neces
sity of campaigns continuing'
throughout the season. A very
considerable amount of advertis
ing. previously planned, was re
leased this week. This applies to
both local and national advertis
ers. One large New Y9rk agency
was telephoned today to start the ;
campaign of its largest customer I
next week.
The papers of the Southwest ;
ha,ve already begun to carry the j
foreign advertising which had i
been held up until after election.
This was especially noticeable in
Texas, where agricultural condl-'
lions have been excellent. St.
Louis and Denver provide other
examples of sections where unsea
sonable weather Is being overcome
through the medium of the news
papers.
Merchants in the Northwest, ac
cording to dispatches from Seat
tle, already have started extensive
window dressing, featuring toys
and Christmas gifts, and are pur
chasing extensive spaces In .the
newspapers. The efforts of the
Jewelers are especially apparent.
They are stressing diamond and
platinum rings and bracelets and
watches.
This trend extends clear across
the country. Atlanta shoppers are
becoming more numerous with
* nhops taking on a distinctly holl
f day appearance. In that city colder
weather at the week end has done
more to aid business than even
the passing of election.
In connection with the Jewelery
trend. Fred G. Grtien. president of
the Gruen Watchmakers' Guild,
one of the largest manufacturers
of watches in the country, said to
day:
Now that election Is over, the
watch Industry as a whole can
look forward to an Increased vol
ume of sales due to reflection
from prosperity in other lines and
Increased farmers' buying power
and the Increasing desire of per
sons to have more than one watch.
I predict a period of prosperity
that will compare favorably with
any previous era of expansion."
Toy dealers are laying In heavy
supplies and the larger portion of
the articles this ysar have been
manufactured In America. The
Oerroan toy makers found com
paratively few American custo
mers as compared with other
years, but still are a factor when
It comes to the cheaper dols and
wooden toys. The Isck of this
coippetttion. however, has been
counterbalsnced to some extent
by the sdvent of the French man
ufacturers In to American mar
kets. French toy shipments to the
United States this fsll have been
heavy but there Is every indlcs
tlon thst American manufacturers
this year will exceed their record
of 1923, when they turned out
over $56,000,000 worth of toys
and games. This did not Include
children's carriages, wsgons snd
<tleds which brought the totsl to
over 190.000.000.
x Candy manufacturers are work
ing at top speed to fill orders al
ready received and cigar manu
facturers all over Ihe country
have Increaaed their forces and
speeded up equipment to meet
holiday requirements.
Musical Inatruments sales hsve
taken s decided spurt In several
sections of the country Deslers
feel that these sales have been
aided rsther than checked by the
public Interest In radio broadcast
ing which they say has given thou
ssnds of people an Interest In snd
a knowledge of music which they
never hsd before.

ECLIPSE OF SUN
COMES IN JANUARY
New Ha von. Conn.. Nov. 11. ? j
For a few minutes on the morn

we get from that body. Thls{
eclipse will be Been by more
million of people than any such
occurrence In the past, according
to Professor E. W. Brown, of
Yale University.
An eclipse Is not a rare even*.,
one or two occur every year, hut
the one next January is notablo
for the fact that It occur* in a ter

sun has not 'been wholly obscured

"If we look over the records of
past eclipses. Professor Brown
said, "aud the predictions for fu

any one place there will be a to
tal eclipse of the sun only once in
?very few hundred years. The
coming eclipse will produce durk-|

Impresslvn address made by John
F. Hall. Jr.. In opening the
eighth annual .Red Cross Roll Call
(or Pasquotank -County at a lun
cheon held Monday evening at the
Community Hulldlng.
With the Ham-Ramsay meet
ing almost at Ita climax. It was de
cided that the committees would
begin work on Tueaday morning.
| November 18, Instead of on Arm
I Istlce Day.
The goal set for this year'a roll
'call Is a minimum of <00 mem*
i bers and Chairman Hall believes
| that the amount aubacrlbed to
thla cause should reach a aum
i large enough for 11.000 of It to
remain in Pasquotank County. 1
There are six kinds of mem
berships to the Red Cross. The
annual memberahlp Is $1.00; the:
contributing membership $6; the
;Hustalnlng membership $10; the
supporting membership $26; the
jlife membership $50; and the pa
tron membership $100.
"An Illustration of what the '
Red Cross Is doing with the
funds that do not remain in Eliz
abeth City," Mr. Hall said, "Is
the New Bern fire of two or more
yeara ago. North Carolina that
I year sent $16,000 to the .National
Red Cross headquarters. Disas
ter came In our neighbor city and
the Red Cross spent $35,000 In
relief work.
"You have seen the report In
, The Advance of the ways In which
the local Red (Cross money was
used and you 'have realised that .
| not a cent of It was wasted. In
fact we do not know who would j
I have helped In these cases If the
Red Cross had not."
Mrs. 8allie M. Boettcher, ae- 1
cretary of the Red Cross since Its,
organization during the World
War eight years ago. mado ai
brief summsry of the work that |
had been done by the local or
ganization during that period.
"Some of you wonder." she said
"why the Red Cross was able to
spend more money In the County
i lait year than was our share of
the amount subscribed In last
'year's roll call. This Is explained
when you remember that a re
serve fund was created In the
first year's roll call from funds
which were allowed for a secre
tary's salary. Your officers have
never accepted a salary and so
' each year since the first year we
{have had a reserve fund to draw
from. There Is now, however. I
I hardly more than a hundred dol
Isrs left on this fund.
Mrs. Anna Lewis, welfare offl
cera, spoke briefly of how the
Red Cross hsd helped the welfsre
department. "The Influence of Red
Cross hss saved souls as well ss
lives," Mrs Lewis said She
urged that the Roll Call thla year
be extended in the rural section of
'the County more thoroughly thsn
eveT before.
While the Roll Call does not
start In Pasquotank County until
next Tuesday, those who will be
out of the city next week may
mall their checks to John P. Hall,
Jr., Hox 49, City.
A committee from the Woman's
Club served the Rod Cross work
ers a delicious two course sunper
which seemeji to make everybody
feel optimistic for this year's roll
call. "We are all sold for the
Red Cross." said Chairman J. H
