naires We're sent out to all parts of
the country and the replies form the
basis of the present report.
The canvass of retail merchants
discloses that many attempts are be-
ing made to solve the parking prob
lem in the congested areas. Some
merchants provide parking space for
their customers, either in some va
cant lot or in their own garages. Other
stores run BUSES to points outside
the congested districts where the GUS
toner parks his car, being transport
ed back and forth from the store.
One shop provides a chauffeur who
will find parking space for CUSTOM
ers, and IL necessary re-park the car
from time to time. All the large
stores endeavor to keep space in
front of their main entrances for GUS
toners whose cars are not self-driven.

Moving the Stores
Out of Congestion

Washington, D. c., April 1.-THE
acute traffic congestion which the
constantly increasing number of auto
mobiles Is causing in the retail dis
tricts of our large cities is automati-
cally bringing about a process which
may help to alleviate the situation,
according toa bulletin issued today
by the Commerce Department based
upon the opinions Of merchants who
submitted their views on the subject.
This process is decentralization
that is, the establishment of shops OF
various kinds outside. the congested
areas. Merchants are more and more
recognizing this tendency Of shoppers
to do their buying away from the dis
tricts where there is traffic conges-
ton. In one large city two important
department stores have already
sites in a residential center for the
location of branch stores.
These sub-centers in our largest
cities now constitute a complete shop
ping district and differ from the
downtown districts only in size and
the number of establishments. AS
parking facilities in these areas are
usually ample, it is logical to assume,
the merchants believe, that people
who have cars will prefer to do their
shopping there, free from inconven-
fence and anxiety, to say nothing OF
the saving of time. 1t was reported
recently that the retail advertising
outside the main shopping district
amounted to one-third of that done
within it.
The bulletin gives many examples
of specific instances reported which
illustrate how business is being di-
verified from the main shopping dis
trists. In one case a certain family
were attracted to a high-priced piano
displayed In one of the best down.

was parked nearby and the parking
