Original Toronto Star caption: Shoppers line up on Yonge St. yesterday waiting for stores to open with their Boxing Day sales. Much of the business was in exchanges and refunds rather than sales; but departments selling Christmas cards and wrappings were busier than before Christmas. A Star survey indicates that unseasonably warm weather hurt business; leaving many bargains available for shoppers in the post-holiday sales.
