For Santa
Predictions on all sides are that
the Christmas sales volume will
range 10 percent greater than last

son. In terms of dollars. Federal
Reserve Board economists who
keep tally on department store
sales, believe the peak will be 20

wider choice and better quality
without wartime substitutes. Good
toys, he says, are now- available in
quantity, along with many types
of household appliances and furn
ishings.

ery good little boy and girl will
get just what he wants. First San

ming from strikes in the maritime,
trucking, manufacturing and sell
ing industries. Then there are
more good little boys and girls
