1896 RETAIL SALES
ABOVE 1o35---BUT
LESS THAN 1929

In spite of a nearly 100000 rise
in population since 1929, the esti-
mated retail sales Of the country in
1896 were only n per cent of 1929.
The decline from the 1929 level
has varied greatly from group to
group, according to the summary
and tables in Domestic Commerce
(2-28-SD. Figures show the follow
ing declines in retail sales below the
1929 level:
Decline, 1886
Furniture and household sales -412o
Farmers, country store sales. 1890
Lumber, building and hard
ware -3o9o
Apparel store sales... 1890
Automotive sales ... -27%o
Department, dry goods and
general merchandise ....... -24%o
These were the sleeper declines;
variety stores dropped only 6 per
cent in the same period. Sales in
creases were noted in only two
groups-mail order catalogue houses
and filling stations. Year 1886 saw
former 3 per cent above 1929, and
the latter q per cent. Latter's rise
represented largely increased sales
of tires and auto accessories which
had slumped badly in depression
years.
Final figure of Department of
Commerce showed a rise in all re-
tail sales of IA per cent between
1885 and 1886. This, the department
declares, was due in part to pay
ment Of the soldiers bonus during
the summer of 1886 and the increases
in payrolls and dividends during the
year.
Dollar rise in food sales between
1885 and 1886 was only z per cent,
and the rise in volume sales only
about 5 per cent.

Arizona S Military Post
Speeding to Oblivion
BY SHELTON G. DOWELL
Douglas
Douglas

THERE is distressing lack of knowledge among
= Arizona people regarding the importance of the
only army post in Arizona Fort Huachuca This lack
serious since other states actively alive to the
value of military stations, and give active support to
appropriation demands for the maintenance and i'm
provement of military posts within their borders and
Fort Huachuca is the loser, along with Arizona.
The traveller who chances to view the tremendous
establishments at Fort Sam Houston and at Randolph
Field and Kelly Field near San Antonio with modern
buildings, up-tOdate facilities and beautiful land
scaping must be impressed with the thoroughness of
army planning And visit to Fort Bliss Ell Paso
gives any American a thrilling pride in the army
housing. Texas appreciated the value of the army,
not alone the protective phase, but particularly
in the commercial phase And Texas people profit
greatly because of extensive army activities within
that state.
Arizona struggled for years to obtain the construc
ton of the Roosevelt Dam, and has but recently
struggled to obtain the Bartlett DAM For these
dertakings by the federal government Arizona must
return a large portion of the cost. When the army
spends for housing for supplies for payros there is
no debt which Arizona must repay the money spent
at F Huachuca is direct appropriation of the fed
eral government with no strings
Arizona's congressional delegation has striven for
years to modernze the plant at Ft Huachuca and has
had but little assistance from the people of the state
There should be well organized and we'll planned
effort to obtain funds for the rehabilitation and i'm
provement of Ft Huachuca. The maintenance of the
present garrison and the possible enlargement of the
garrison is potential of commercial advan-
tagp which should not be overlooked.
If every citizen Of Arizona should visit TT.
Huachuca, to become acquainted with the fine re-
oimen there would be better understanding OF our
fine army and the accomplishments it seeks-and
there would be realization of the Importance OF Ft
Huachuca to all of Arizona.
