London Shopkeepers
Cater to Americans
of Moderate Means
London, Sept. 22.—-(By the Asso¬
ciated Press.)—With the American
“invasion” of London in full swing,
the manager of a big Oxford street
store has estimated that the visitors
from over the Atlantic were spend¬
ing somewhat more than $500,000
a week in the English capital.
London shopkeepers have awaken¬
ed to the fact that by far the great¬
er number of Americans who come
to England these days are people
of moderate mean* who watch their
shillings and pence as carefully as
does the frugal Briton, There are
still visiting millionaires who amaze
the English with their prodigality
with which they scatter money about
but there is only one millionaire
where there are a thousand people
of relatively small income.
Hence Bond Street shop keepers
are finding it to their advantage to
mark the prices on their window dis¬
plays. This has stimulated trade
with the visitors. Ten years ago
on
Bond street shopkeepers thought it
beneath their dignity to have price
labels in the windows.
The oddest purchase of the season
seems to have been in the shop of
an optician. An American, after
some hesitation and fitting, selected
a monocle and ribbon for half
a
guinea. When he made his choice
he wanted half a dozen of them, and
explained that he had four boys and
a girl at home in Chicago who had
all asked to bring them back
an
eye-glass from London u like the

county agent shows that much
of the top crop was destroyed for
reason that some of the farmers
not keep up the spraying of the
with poison.
