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".
