In almost every respect Asheboro will enjoy the Christmas season this year more than ever before. Every store window is bearing some indications of the spirit of holiday and many of the homes are blazing with the Yuletide color and light.
Nearly every person in Asheboro will enjoy one or more days of holiday this Christmas season. The postal employes, who heretofore have had one of their hardest days on Christmas, will this year enjoy a rest if present plans work out. The county offices will close their doors Thursday evening and will not reopen until the following Monday morning.
The restaurants in Asheboro will be open for the most part but nearly every other mercantile establishment in town will be closed all day. The professional offices will also not be open and the preachers, lawyers, dentists and doctors will join the business men and laborers in a whole-hearted holiday, the best of the year.
The hosiery mills in town will close down the 23rd and will not reopen until January 4th. The chair plants and other manufacturing industries are not planning quite as long a holiday. These will close down Wednesday night and will open again the following Monday. Other business enterprises in town will give holidays of varying length to their employes.
Christmas day, as it has been in other years, will be chiefly notable through happy family reunions and gatherings around the tree and the festive table, occasions which will occur in nearly every home in the county.
