Department Stores'
 Outlook For The Year
23 of Nations Leading Stores From Coast to Coast
 Present Their Views for l942

New York, January g. - 213 de- partment stores large, medium and small - from coast to coast expose their views and plans for 1922 through department store econ omist survey made well after our entry into the war.
 Sales Plans l.
 149 Of these stores look for in- creased sales during the first quar- ter, by far the largest number peg ging the expected increase at 10 per cent. The next largest group predicts a per cent increase with 29 stores expecting to break even. 21 stores expected losses up to 10 per cent. During the second quar- ter 65 of the stores expect sales ln- creaseS ranging from per cent to g per cent with the largest number anticipating 10 per cent. 21 stores expect to break even and only 3 stores look for loss. On the year sales eXpectancies about parallel the second quarter with a 10 per cent increase predominating.
 Merchandise Plans
 Over 100 of the stores consider it safe to make merchandise plans for the first quarter - 51 are placing commitments through the second quarter, cushioning their plans with monthly checkups and revisions. 21 stores are planning on a month to month basis while about 30 stores were very definitely indefinite.
 Inventories
 147 stores report inventory in- creases of from 10 per cent to 30 per cent, the greatest number in any one bracket stating 20 per cent. 34 stores report ups from 31 per cent to 60 per cent. Only stores of the 213 surveyed say that inventories are less than year ago.
 The merchandise inventory in- crease due to price rise was begged at 10 per cent by 61 stores (almost a third of those replying); 15 per cent by stores; 20 percent by p stores; and 25 percent by 31 stores. Others estimated it anywhere from 4 to 50 percent, with 21 stores not answering.
 Inventory Reserve
 To a much discussed question Of the day there was evidence of con- siderable thinking and action: Are you setting up reserves to offset present advances in value of inven- tory?" To this 30 stores said they were setting up reservies and 124 said they were not, stores not hav- ing come to decision as yet.
 Store Service Curtailments
 Of the nine different service fac- tors queries, 66 stores replied that they have done nothing toward cur tailment or elimination: 52 stores have curtailed on deliveries (many reduced from two to one day): 76 stores on special deliveries, several making charges for specials: IT have eliminated or are charging for customer parking: 26 have curtalled returned goods: 15 have eliminated billing carry overs: / and have re- duced employe discounts. Three class discounts practices, Dress maker, Clergy and School Teachers, have either been curtailed or ellm- mated by majority of the report ing stores, with a number reporting that they have not had these dis counts.
 Employes have come in for a healthy share of increased store profits, for l89 of the 213 stores have increased the income of their en- ployes by one or more methods - such as, increased salaries, bonuses, or pay raises on periodic review of employees productivity.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-01-09

Asked whether or not they favored year round daylight saving time for the duration, more than 78 percent of the stores said that they favored the longer afternoons.
 On air raid protection methods 42 of the 213 stores have taken steps for preparedness and 36 stores are having blackout and air raid warning drills.

 As the Empire enters it's third year of war, British sacrifices have been tremendous, the end net yet in sight.
 There is sufficient food, fuel and clothing to maintain 44,0O0,G0 people in minimum comfort for another year, but that just about tells the story of life here today. Every commodity not essential to the war effort is being chopped off the available list as rapidly as factories can make the final shift into war.
 Of one group of 4OO0 represen- tatiVe factories, which formerly produced hosiery, textiles, pot tery, boots and shoes, $50 have been closed outright, $50 have been expanded and placed on gov- ernment work, 400 were consid- cred too small for concentration, while 1000 have been permitted to continue supplying consumer needs.
