Christmas Shopping
May Lift Retail Sales
To Above SIT Billion
BY The Assoeiosed Press


NEW YORK, Dec. Christ
mas shopping is expected to lift
December retail sales to an all
time high of Sill billion, Sales
Management magazine said
today.
While this is only a / per
cent gain over last December
the publication said, a buying
spree reaching the proportions
of the 1852 Christmas boom
would be looked upon today by
most retailers as cause for cele-
bration."
There is no doubt that retail
sales during the 1858 fall season
have been disappointing, and
this seems to be the time for
more intensive merchandising
and promotion to avoid a down
turn in selling" Sales Manage
ment said.
In July and August, the mag
azlne noted, total retail sales
ran Z and 8 per cent ahead of
the previous year despite an en-
ervaClng heat wave. In Septem-
ber the gain over last year fell
to 4 per cent and in October to
! per cent. Much of this rapid
decline reflects showdown IN
automotlve sales, the publica-
ton said, but otner hard goods
such as 'TV sets and major ap-
pliances have also been slow
moving.
"A definite corollary has been
noted between the lag in hard
goodS sales and the fact that
consumer credit is no longer in
creaslng at the rapid rate reg
istered earlier in the year." Sales
Management pointed out;
