in 1852.
On an average, around so 900
new cars are sold in the Wash

while 1852 did not equal this
average, it was a fairly good year, ,"
Mr.. Sinclair added.
His association will stage its
24th annual Automobile Show at

what he expects to be a "very
good year."

Sees Good Business Ahead.
There is every indication that
good retail business will continue
for the first six or nine months of
1883" declared Philip M. Talbot,
Evening star., 1953-01-04

Board OF Trade, pointed out that
forecaSting business potential here
is a risky venture at best, but that
"the risk is heightened by con-
tinuing world unrest and by the
fact that for the first time in 20
years we are to have a change in
our national administration"
"The question, of course, is
whether there will be any substan-
tial reduction in Federal employ
ment." said Mr.. Merrill. BASED
on past experience in administra-
tion changeovers. there may be a
dip in the last quarter of the year,
but the almost desperate need of
private employers for capable,
trained workers should more than
offset this and maintain a healthy
economy.
Many Jobs Protected.
washington is the core of the
fastest-growing metropolitan area
in the United States. While pop
ulation in itself is not the criterion
for potential business volume, en-
ployment and payroll figures gen.
Grated by it are important.
Fortunately, this Washington
area market has important ele-
ments of stability in the large
number of Federal employees who
earn civil service ratings and
enjoy a higher degree Of job per-
manency," said Mr.. Merrill.
Merchandising activities of the
area should remain at about the
same level as 1852. although the
emphasis undoubtedly will shift to
lines of merchandise which have
been in short supply.
There is every indication that

the convention and tourist indus
try during 1853 will show a sub
stantial increase over 1882" de-
clared Mr.. Merrill. Hotel busi-
ness should come close to levels
of 1851, which was a banner year,
"The construction outlook is
not very clear. There is a gen.
eral feeling that residential prop
critics still are in great demand
but that the market for them will
not be good unless there Is some
reduction in purchase price. Com.
mercial construction should pro-
coed at a normal pace if assur-
ances are received -l.at such ma
terials as steel and its products
will be available"
Expects Normal Trend.

was expected to be close hard
