Price Resistance in West
Bringing Buyers Market

SAN FRANCISCO-Consumer re-
s~istance is openly admitted to have
struck the West Coast.
It's a buyers market again.
Modern home appliances may con-
tinue to decline until prices reach a
near equality with dependable income,
according to Stanley J Kedzierski mar
kcting expert, regional office Of the U.
5 Department OF Commerce.
Lack Of knowledge OF sales and pro-
motion among too many dealers is ex-
pccted to eliminate the weak and poorly
operated.
The manufacture Of pre-war type
electric irons is given rs an example
oi overloaded inventory item which
has been replaced by three new type
l%irons.
The same is being found true Of
plumbing. electric goods, roofing, floor
ing, and auto supply houses. An cpl
demic OF small appliance stores in small
communities and even ont of the way
roadsidcs on the West Coast has over
stocked the market.
Prices, however, are given as the
main factor. with the consumer being
the determining factor for future bus

Nobody seemed to think any vaca-
ton was necessary for men who make

is, but the crowd at the union hall.
Today, all that is changed. In 10 Of
II years, paid vacation clauses have
been written into the vast majority o
union contracts. Except for one or two
big industries, paid vacations have
paid off both for union members whit
get to travel a little, or fish a little o
