tures for winter and dearth of snow a survey of local chants Indicates But on balance Acton bus inessmen havent been hurt as much as those elsewhere There were gloom and doom reports and warnings of many pending bankruptcies from retailers in larger centres and mulls over the holidays It was supposed to be a dis Christmas sales season because of the unseasonably warm temperatures lack of snow for sever- weeks and the sluggish economy Sales of Items like winter clothing and boots snow removal equipment and winter sports equipment nose dived A survey this week of Acton retailers showed some clothing sales dipped but snow removal equipment and sports equipment sales were strong Mike of Acton Home Hardware sells many winter oriented items reports it was his best Christ mas ever In fact sales were up 18 percent over the 1978 Yule season Snowblowers tobog gans and skis moved very well However clothing stores like Toddlers to Teens report as good news Flo Charlcbols owner of Toddlers to Teens says lack of snow early in Ihe winter slowed sales at Items like and mittens although things picked up over the Christmas season Although Mrs Charle- hasnt got any specific figures she says sales are down over Paul Nielsen of Nielsens Clothing tells the kind of story Sales were down a bit early and then picked up at Christmas which he described as fantastic Nielsen explains an early winter with lots of snow Influences sales but with the return of cold temper atures last week sans appreciable snow falls has meant brisk business and heavy clothing like coats and sweaters arc selling Just as they were before Christmas Of all winter clothing items It appears boots sales were the hardest hit in Acton Alma Swetman of Swctmans Shoes says sales have been disastrous She explained If you dont have snow you dont sell boots Winter boots usually start selling heavily In October and carry through the Christmas season but this year Mrs Swetman noted sales have been quite low Fortunately mans doesnt enrry a high inventory she stated so the store isnt as adversely affected as larger retail outlets Heather Porte of Lorrys House of Buys says sales of outer winter wear Items like scarfs and mitts are down from Inst year while slacks and sweaters were about the some The lack of snow has also cut into the towing business of Achilles Motors I believe people have been careful driving Not too many accidents and not too many cars in the stated Traditionally nicer weather means brisker car sales and that what happened observed Car sales are up he noted 15 being sold around Christmas and they will be delivered this month says it was his best December ever for soles and the mild temperatures didnt hurt his business a bit It may seem odd but snow blower sales have been good In fact one was sold Christmas Eve despite the fact there wasnt a flake in sight and It was pouring down ram He expects last of his snow blower stock will move out quickly once the next heavy snowfall arrives Acton Home Hard ware is completely sold out of toboggans and sleds even without snow and there wont be more In slock until next winter Those items ore ordered in April Ski equipment sales were also healthy how ever ski rentals haven been Several weekend rentals had been booked but the disappearance of the snow caused cancel lations Home improvement product sales were excellent and the week alter Christmas produced a tremendous run on wallpaper and paint at Home Hard ware more sales than during all December With winter outings off people took advantage of time during the days to spruce up their homes
