Says People Are
Buying Radios, Autos
Instead of Clothes

New York, Dec. 2.-(AP)-
Americans are denying themselves
clothes to buy radio sets, motor cars
and other things offered for sale. on
the installment plan, according to
speakers who sought to diagnose the
condition in the wooden and clothing
industry today at the 10th annual
meeting of the American Association
of Wooden and Worsted Manufac-
turers.
Plans to meet the installment
plan competition were destroyed,
and the success Of clothing mer-
chants in the west in adopting the
plan for the sale of clothing was
pointed out as an example for other
dealers. e- ff 49,,
The former enormous American
demand for wool, said Sir James Ell
der, commissioner for Australia in
the United States, has slumped on
account of the demand for motor
cars and radio. Americans are sax
ing on their clothing in order to
meet their new obligations, he said.
