The larger food stores report
June sales running about 8 per

The Radio Television Manufac-

both Leslie Poppleton and Jane

that he had fallen under her spell,
that he had responded to her

to the recent relaxation of curbs
on installment buying. The easier
terms have taken some of the
pressure off consumer budgets, the

for customers to buy clothing.
