FURNITURE DEALERS WILL MERCHANDISE GOODS ON LOWER LEVEL

Fsull-time operations for factories is the policy of retail furniture dealers of the country, who met in convention at Chi cago last week, according to Brming- ham dealers.
 The furniture dealers have entered on a policy of buying as liberally as pos sible, and also of marking their merchant 6se down as far as they can, according to local retailers. In this way they will be able to take advantage of the federal allowance for return of income tax to be made on replacement values, it IS pointed out.
 The convention declared that it was absolutely essential for the trade to mer- chandse their goods on lower level, and that most retailers were taking sub- stantiaI losses on thei stock in order to interest the buying public, so that with the liquidation of stocks, the mar ket would again be clear for the mau- facturer, who has readjusted his quota tionS.
 The convention urged the hearty sup port and patronage of manufacturers who have shown their desire to meet the present emergency.
 Birmingham retailers will hold their first monthly luncheon of the year at the Hillman hotel Thursday. I'm portant business will be taken up, it was stated.
