It star- ted with radical changes in style and color, including suits which had been conservative to the point of stodginess for years. -Then there were the brightly col- ored shirts which are still very much "in" and on the scene everywhere, despite a substan- tial comeback by the classic white shirt, which is now coming • .,y .>i • IiNINGHAM.

A • Men Spending One merchant expressed the view that in men's clothing the tendency to change styles and colors will slow down a bit, as there is some' resistance to hav- ing expensive suits outmoded by ° the stylist's decree in six months or so. The cuffless look is still the• thing on men's trousers for any age bracket and almost any color goes. Men have been spending more, on the average, for clothing In the past several ' years, as interest -seemed to pick up with the selec- tion of colors and consciousness of style that has swept the coun- try- In the shoe trade, frequent price increases have been worri- some to dealers reluctant to pass them on, but business was very good. One merchant told The Ad- vance -Times he was confident this year was well up on previous 1 years, not so much because of price increases 'but on the unit volume as well. What: economists refer to as the "real" increase was there. Department, store type opera, tions did very well, and this seems part of an overalltrend ins , Canada as reported by Statistics Canada. There seems , to be a swing to the "one -stop -slop" sys- tem of buying and some sof it has applied here. Added Value .1n ladies' clothing changes In the types of merchandise seemed to bring up the dollar volume. In one store here it was pointed out . that a coat of similar quality to one last year was longer, using more materia, and had fur collar and cuffs added, naturally adding to the cost, rather than the price ;going up for an identical item. Generally speaking, the buying, public seemed to 'be in a good mood to speed this year, and' if it keeps up, Wingham merchants can look _forward to a , truly "happy New Year".
