CHRISTMAS SHOPPING BRISK THIS WEEK * * '* * * * * # -x* * * ■» * * * * * * * * * * HEAVEN BOUND COMING FRIDAY NIGHT, DECEMBER 17 Merchants Expecting Big Business Next Two Weeks Cherryville Merchants Are Prepared For The Second War Time Christmas. Christmas shopping; has been brisk in CherryVille this week and the merchants are Ioomi:j. forward to the Christmas shopping rush (Hiring the next two weeks be fore Christmas. The Cherryville merchants are prepared for the second war time Christmas be having their stock as near com plete as is possible under war time conditions. While many things are not available there are sub full stocks of many nationally advertised merchandise which make nice gifts for each member of the family. The Christmas spit d is already in the air here and people are buying Christmas merchandise. It is wise to shop early this year, earlier than ev'or before. The merchants are urging the custo mers to shop early as possible. It is true there will he no stieet decorations hole this year The War Production Hoard has asked that street decorations, community Christmas trees. ex terior home decorations and in interiors and exteriors of com mercial establishments dispense with decorations this year, in so far as lighting is concerned Thy re fore, we are comply lag with ibeii requests. However, each liter chant has decorated their stores in keeping with the old policy of Christmas decorations and wi will still have the Christmas ‘pirit as we go front store to store to do out- shopping. The stocks are still full and fresh and the people of this com munity are urged I,, do tlr-ii Christmas shopping at homo. That is one way to save gasoline. In The Christmas Rush Don’t Forget To Keep The Side Walks Cleaned Off The merchants, are reminded that each individual i- supposed to keei) the sidewalks in front of their place of business cdenned off and during the Christmas season more so than ever. Let us all keep the side walks clean. If each merchant would turn on the water hose and wash off the side walk in from of store every morning it would add much to the appearance of the store and would do away with any dan ger of any pedestrian slipping and falling, probably breaking a hone. The sidewalks on the South side on Main street does not get the sunshine, which mak es it very slick most of the day We believe if tin merchants does a little cleaning up of the sidewalks each morning, or at least a couple times a week, the town will wash the streets.
