Gimbcl people have spent their money on practi cal things." l'areel rout Overtaxed The volume of the Christmas business Is reflected InVeportn of the parcel post service made today by Postmaster Thornton. Ite said that additional clerks wcro aiding In the work of hand ling the avalanche of packages and that a fleet of 260 motortrucks Is not big enough to keep the parcel post depots clear of packages. Today's throngs gave Chestnut, Mar ket, Walnut streets nnd other Bhdpplng streets a wonderful color, for the weather man, by serving warm temperaturo and a glorious sun, gave the fair sex op portunity to wear 'their most colorful raiment. The present Christmas season has been the greatest In the business his tory of the city, merchants said this afternoon. The expenditures by shoppers In Phil adelphia havo mounted high Into the millions. The business of all store's, large and small, In all parts of the city has been tremendous. Never havo tho people paid out such a hugesum for Christmas presents. AH records have been broken. And this afternoon, with Christmas only two days off, tho rush for gifts continues unabated. The streets In the center of the city were bright with color nnd filled with moving thousands. The stores were packed to tho doors. "Smashed AU neeords" "In volume and value," said Elfls Glmbel this afternoon, , "the holiday business this year has smashed all rec ords. It Is safe to say that the depart N ment stores alone have sold more than ' $20,000,000 worth of merchandise dur ing December. Virtually all of this huge pile of merchandise represents Christmas gifts." Mr, Glmbel, voicing tho sentiments of other merchants, asserted that the stores have never handled such huge crowds of Christmas shoppers nnd explaining the bumper business said It was due to a combination of uniquo circumstances. "The war Is over," said Mr. almbel, "and the people are nappy. They nre expressing their happiness by buying gifts and it Is a'pparent that every man, woman and child In tho city Is going the limit" Wide ltange In Gifts "In the old days the bulk of the Christmas business was confined to jewelry and novelties, but this year everything Is being sold from talking machines to blankets. The people have evidently drawn a lesson from tho war, for they are putting their money to good uses. "In tho department stores every de partment is doing a. wonderlul business. The business began early in tho month and Increased In volume until Saturday it was virtually fmposslble 10 serve tho ever-Increasing number of buyers. To day and tomorrow will continue to smash all records In the commercial history of Philadelphia." Herbert J. Tlly, general manager of tho Strawbrldge & Clothier store, today said the Christmas business of his store was "the greatest In our history." "This year," added Mr. Tlly, "the peo. pie have a real Christmas spirit. After nearly flvo years of war there Is a great reaction and tho people are once more hanny and giving xnresslon to their feel ings. Never In Its history of fifty j'ears has tho Strawbridgo & Clothier store done, such an enormous holiday busi ness. Everybody Prosperous "Everybody Is prosperous and every' body is spending money. This years holiday business speaks volumes for the prosperity of our city." 'The war has ' developed a fondness for music," said Walter Eckhardt, an 'official of the Chamber of Commerce, and a Chestnut street business man, "and this is made plain in the unpre cedented demand for musical - lnstru mentu. Our business this season Is tho greatest in our history. 'That is due to the fact that the people are sup plied with money and to the fact that tho Liberty Sings and patriotic meetings have developed a taste for music." The "shop early" campaign bore fruit this year, according to Charles C. Wrlg glns of the B. F. Dewees store. "In stead of waiting until the last few days before the holiday to do .their buying," said Mr. Wrlgglns, "the peoplo began to do tbelr shopping early. This has aided Ihe stores to handle the great business and servo the Christmas shop pers much better thin under tho old time system. This year's business ox , ceeds everything in the history of Phila delphia stores.
