DATA BARE SHIFT

Brokers Division of Ma.

sues Directory.

Shift in numbers and strength OF
retail store chains over the country
In the last several years, decrease IN
the total number of such chains over
the depression period, and the more
recent increase in the number OF
chain organizations are shown in a
directory of chain store headquarters,
issued this week by the Brokers Divi-
sion Of the National Association OF
Real Estate Boards.
The directory lists the central ONCE
of every chain in the United States
having three or more units or out
lets. The publication Is being mailed
this week to all members Of the
division, of which Robert B. Whitaker,
Kenosha. Wis, Is chairman.
A total of 8,100 retail chains, cover
ing IS lines Of business, are listed
In the divisions new directory, the
first complete chain store directory
for the country to be published by the
organization since 1880, though d.
rectories for seven major lines Of
chain activity were issued in 1884 and
1885.
Shrinkage in the number Of chain
headquarters over the depression
period Is shown by the fact that the
1890 list cited 9,785 store chains,
grouped in Al lines of business. But
comparison of the 1895 list with
1884 and 1885 lists shows the trend
now reversed. Within the seven major
branches of chain store activity listed
in its specialized directories Of late
1884 and early 1885 the association
cited a total of 4.971 chains. The
1885 directory shows these groups
now containing total of 5,122 chains
Woman's wear shops. retail groceries.
and beauty shops-lines of business in
which women are doing the buying
are the lines showing the most notable
growth in number Of chain organiza-
tions.
Various lines Of business show the
following changes:
Retail grocery chains now total
1854 separate organizations, as against
l,04l in September 1884, when these
chains totaled 68,822 individual stores.
Women's wear and furnishings now
count 1886 different chains, as against
296 in 1884. when they had 3,040
retail outlets.
Variety stores. including the S and
10 cent stores. also show more organi-
cations in the fold than were there a
year ago. They now have l8l chains
as against lit such organizations list
ed in 1884, when these parent bodies
had 6.081 stores. 1t is notable that
here the number Of organizations now
tops the 1880 total, which was 14S
chains.

MANY nature lovers know that
AA frogs and toads are classed as
amphibians. They would not put the
salamanders and nevis in the same
class, yet they belong there.
Strange to say, many have thought
the little salamanders and nevis. so
abundant in the woods Of the East,
are lizards. One great difference is
that a lizard has scales and a dry
skin. Dry weather does not trouble
him. But "Sally" would perish in an
hour In the hot, dry sunshine that
brings only Joy and contentment to
Lizzie" So while the salamander is
built along lines that resemble liz
ard, it has a smooth skin. So do
toads and frogs. OF course, I mean
without scales, as warts don't count.
If you live in the Eastern part Of
the United States, you will be sur
prised to learn how many salaman-
ders live in your State. In Connecti-
cut there are eight groups.
The marbled salamander has fat
pug-nose, a long tail, and wears
black and white or gray uniform.
The under surface Is a beautiful
blush black. 1t is easily remem-
bered, not only because of its decided
black and white coat, but for its
sawed-off or blunt expression. Its
larger relatives have yellow in their
color scheme.
Another thing you can remember
about this member is the unusual
practice of laying eggs in the Au-
tumn instead Of early Spring. So you
may hunt for the hidden treasures
under stones or such protection at
the edge Of pond or stream where
the water has dried up. The eggs

FARM FINANCING
GAINS ARE CITED
More of Loan Proceeds Go
for Purchase This Year,
Myers Reports.

In spite Of hard Winter and flood
conditions this Spring, the sun has
definitely come out from behind the
clouds on the farm financing horizon,
Gov. w. I. Myers of the Farm Credit
Administration said today in COM
menting on farm credit and real
estate conditions during the first
quarter of 1896.
Myers said a larger proportion Of
loan proceeds under the Farm Credit
Administration went for financing the
purchase of farms during the first
quarter of the year than in any similar
period since organization. He also
pointed out that interest in farm pur-
chasing is steadily increasing and that
loan collections are keeping pace
firmly with the improvement in farm
commodity prices and farm income.
THE percentage of proceeds Of Fed
eral Land Bank loans used to purchase
farms is back to pre-depression levels
and the dollar volume is larger" the
governor stated. Land bank ana
commissioner loans made in February
were $25,5O0,O0O. the highest since
October, and preliminary estimates
indicate that the March volume will
be about the same level"
Commenting on the fact that pr1-
vate agencies are making more invest
ment in farm mortgages, Myers cited
reports showing that during the first
II weeks of the year, insurance COM
panies representing over 80 per cent
of total admitted assets OF legal re-
serve companies, invested l2.lOO,OOO
in farm mortgage loans, compared to
.S1o.7OO,O0O for the corresponding
period of 1885, or an increase Of 13
per cent.
Referring to the farm real estate
market, he said farmers bought over
1000 farms from the Federal Land
Banks in February. representing ar
increase of more than 80 per cent
over February last year. Sales o1
farms accumulated by the banks over
a period of years were at the highest
level on record in 1885. when total
sales amounted to $28,600,000 COM
pared to S18,000000 in 1884.
Improvement in farm COMMODITY
prices is steadily cutting down delin-
quencies on mortgage debts" the gov
ernor explained. THE amount OF un-
paid interest on Federal Land Bank
loans dropped from S18,O35,000 at the
end of 1885 to s14,352 900 at the enc
of February just past, a decrease Of
20 per cent"

with an automobile salesman, 1886
Manhattan style:
@. What allowance would you give
me on this old car of mine, in a trade
A. Well, sir, it's funny. I was
just talking to one of the high Of
ficials in the company and he said to
me, I don't see why so many people
drive their old cars through the late
summer and fall when they are los
ing money with every mile.
Q. I'm just looking. I was wonder
ing how much you could offer
A. It doesn't matter what condi-
ton your car is in. Say it's battered,
been in some accidents, with the
paint scratched and the upholstery
torn, we'll give you such good trade
you will wonder why you've been rid
ing around with money lost every
mile. Listen, mister, can see you're
intellient, above the general run
Q. Well now, about the amour
you would offer, seeing that the paint
isn't scratched and it's in pretty good
condition, no accidents
A, Just look at that job there by
the window. Get in it, Notice those
cushions. Have you any errands,
any shopping to do? I'd he glad to
drive you around all afternoon in
one of these babies right off the floor
No obligations
@. I haven't any shopping or err
rands to do and besides I've got my
car out front. It runs But I was
hoping you could give an estimate
of what you could Offer
A. Now, I'm not high pressure
salesman. I don't go in for that kind
of stuff. I've read Sinclair Lewis
and people like that and got a big
laugh out of the cracks at high-pres-
sure statesmen. What's your BUSH
ness? 1 thought as much. Well, do
you know Jake McZilch in the same
outfit you work for? No? Well
Jake and are great friends. Just
like that. We slept in the same tent
for twenty-five months during the
war. But to answer your question
Mister, there is just no other car on
