w. H. Lowdermilk q Co.. WASH
ington's biggest old book store,
said the shop sells some $4,000
used books a year.
That store has nine full-time
workers. During an average
year, they sell about $4,000 used
books from stock of 25O.o00 to
100000. Mr.. Jones said.
He said 10 or IL stores here
specialize in used books. The
second largest outlet is the Park

One lone operator said he fig

Dealers said novels are not
profitable for them-a statement
likely to be concurred in by most
novelists.
Except for book drunks. most
secondhand book customers
want technical books or history
books. the dealers said.
They rated Confederate history
as the most popular subject in
Washington. Books on general
early American history are the
next-ranking favorites. they
said
Stores selling used books also
sell new ones. They carry the
Modern Library line and similar
books that are always in de-
mand, technical publications
that sell steadily and new school
books students here must have.
Some stores sell pictures while
others refuse TO handle them.

By Richord Rodgers

The business Of selling old
books is one of the city's smaller
industries in terms of dollar vol
ume and the number Of em-
ployes, but to those in the busi-
ness 1t has its rewarding aspects
in the types Of customers it at
tracts.
Notice that fellow who just
came in. a dealer said the other
day. Hes a book drunk. He
simply can't pass this store. He's
in here every day. Yesterday he
bought eight books. I'm posi-
tive he spent everything he had
with him. including his lunch
money. A real book drunk"
There are a good many Of
these addicts propelled into
book stores daily by compulsion
to own bound print.
Since their cash reserve seldom
matches their affection for
books. many of them are re-
stricted to tables whereon are

ume the old books bring.
"Your guess would. be as good
as mine," Mr.. Jones said.
Herewith, one guess: Some
where around 100000 a year.
banking on enough open-door
days.
Dealers buy old books indi-
vidually and in lots.
One store owner was asserting
a 700-book library he had just
obtained.
"I'll be lucky if get 300 books
I can use," he said. throwing
aside some ornately-bound Vic
torian love stories.
Carted Away as Junk.
When books have progressed
to the dime-a-copy table and
still don't sell. the dealer despairs
and has them carted away as
junk.
To some book drunks, this is as
dismaying as the jettisoning of
liquor would be to a drinking
drunk. r. =
Every bookseller lives for the
day when, as an. oyster discloses
a pearl, a shipment of old books
will turn up a rare edition.
One man here related happily
how he once paid IS cents for a
copy Of "The Scarlet Letter" 1t
was a first edition and he resold
it for $500. !.
When a store goes out of busi-
ness, its stock is bought up by
the surviving stores. Deals are
also carried On by mail.
Book reviewers sometimes sell
their books to second-h -hand
stores. Thus Washington has
some second-h books that
haven't yet been placed on sale
among the new books.
Dealers tend to be voracious
readers themselves. Besides the
reading they do for professional
purposes. they spend hours a
week reading on their own time.
II hate to sell my old books
too fast" said one store owner.
II like to take them home and
read them. It hurts me to have

Trade Adjustments
Benefiting Nation,
Alb Forum Told
By DonoId B. Hodlev

Adjustments that have been
taking place in business have
been beneficial because they
have put q premium on good
management, declared Ted w.
johnson. national president Of
Robert Morris Associates, here
last night.
The Los Angeles banker, who
is visiting chapters Of the or
ganization of bank credit men
across the Nation. told a forum
OF the Washington Chapter
American Institute of Banking
that adjustments have sharpened
up business operations and are
separating the men from the
boys"
"The almost forgotten art Of
selling Is being revived" he
added.
Emphasizing that bank credit
men have heavy responsibility
as advisers to business, he said
they should learn to be doctors
rather than undertakers. He
warned: Get the facts, all of
the facts or the facts will get
you. A mans Judgment can be
no better than his information"
Sees Favorable Fuctors
Roland T. Carr. vice president
OF Riggs National Bank and a
national director of Robert Nor
ris Associates, reviewed the eco
nomic look and pointed to four
highly favorable and challenging
factors:
l. Tremendous growth of pop
ulation (2l per cent more people
than in 1940).
2. Mass production Of me-
chanical things in undreamed Of
quantities.
8. A social revolution bringing
a new shape to the economy. an
all-time peak in home ownership
and a vast new army of small but
proud capitalists.
4. The beginning of the atomic
era, with a revolution for peace
time industry.
Expects Housing Recovery
A recovery in construction Of
single-family homes in the
Washington Metropoliton Area is
indicated for 1854. declared John
Il. Neale, vice president of the
American Security & Trust Co.
Single family starts in the
area slumped from 1926 in 1852
to 1884 in 1858 as a result of
the tight real estate money mar.
ket but are expected to recover
to around 10000 or 1000 this
year, he declared.
Mr.. Neale said multiple-fam-
lily construction of 5,327 units in
1852 rose to 1905 in 1853 and
will remain at about the same
level in 1854.
SmoII-Loun Firms Grow
David A. Penney, treasurer of
State Loan & Finance Corp. told
the forum that personal loan
companies now have SIT billion
OF the $22 billion of outstanding
consumer financing.
The small loan firms, he en-
phaSized, are not in competition
with banks because our credit
risks are not the type that banks
are interested in handling"
