TRADE AT HOME!
We appreciate the spirit that has prompted so
many people to ask: "Why do stores start Christmas
before Thanksgiving?" ."Here is the honest answer.
In the old days, away back in that other world
before the NBA started a trend in the opposite di
rection, most stores stayed open until 8-10 o'clock
every night except Saturday, of course. Then it
was until midnight. Stores opened their doors be
tween 7-8 mornings, according to when dawn began,
summer or winter.
This gave Christmas shoppers about 80 hours
each week in which to do their gifWbuying. Retail
shopping time has now been reduced to about 50
hours.
Also, until about 1933 give or take a few
years, according to the party you vote for we had
only a political democracy. There was no economic
democracy. That is, relatively few people had much
money to spend at Christmas time or any other time.
The good old days. Some of us, but not enough of
us, remember them quite vividly.
So, now that everybody has more cash for Christ
mas, but fewer store hours for buying, you would
hardly be able to get into many establishments if
merchants waited until after Thanksgiving for Christ
mas promotion. Even with our longer shopping sea
son,, stores are crowded to the point of irritation for
two weeks before Christmas. Merchants are strain
ed to capacity to provide the kind of store service
American Christmas shoppers have learned' to ex
pect This means harder selling, more promotional
' advertising, and ideas.
If the merchants in a given community do not
provide this service, another city is only a few mo
ments away. If the merchant qannot meet compe
tition, then he is done. There is no floor, no Soil
Bank, no subsidy to save him.
' And-so our Christmas shopping season, because
of service necessity, is longer than it was in the good
: old days.
But another problem confronts our county mer
' chants. Although they bo "all-out"- to stock ud their
shelves and fill their stores with' practical, useful and
attractive Christmas gifts, too many citizens linthink-v
ingly'do most of Jfteir Christmas buying jTfIW,'--i''
cities. It is jsz&CLAeartem t "-whants V Mar- -IfBrfrngs
and otuepMadison 1
ounty stores to" see Jo much buying being done in
another county. ' v '
- ' Let's first give our merchants in Madison Coun
ty a trial before we spend our money elsewhere.
They are the ones who support our projects, hire lo
cal employees, pay county and town taxes, and de
pend on local people for a livelihood.
If you can't possibly find' what von want, in the
; stores close to home, then you can't be blamed for
going elsewhere. But let's FIRST give the county
" merchants a chance.
