Business in Antiques Boofns
In u. S. Cities and HunIets

NEW YORK. Oct. 23.-The
antiques trade, dominated Gus
tomarily by sweet but shrewd
old ladies. is enjoying a record
year with sales OF better than
5000 million.
That's the heady report of
business success coming right
now both from owners of plush
shops here in midtown Man
haitian and quiet-speaking OPP
eratives working out of farm
houses on back country roads.
The stock-in-trade of an an
tiques dealer can range from old
wrought-iron nails, for a few
cents each. to highboys and
chests of drawers priced in the
thousands of dollars.
Mrs. Rachel Farmer Rosato,
who runs a shop on Farmers
lane. in Billerica, Mass, ex-
planned why the current clamor
Tor antiques exists, with sales
of dealers running now typi-
cally about 10 per cent ahead
OF a year ago.
For about $780," Mrs. Rosato
remarked, you can furnish a
dining room with early 19th-cen-
tury pine antiques, including a
good-size table, four chairs, a
cupboard and a chest of drawers.
What makes an object an an
t1que, OF course, is it's age.
Congress, for instance, has de-
clared anything made prior to
1880 may be classified for Gus
toms purposes as an ANTIQUE
What determines any antiques
value is both its artistic merit
and its scarcity.
You really have to scrounge
around to find quality American
antiques" commented c. j. Nut
tall. who manages the New York
Antiques fair as we'll as similar
annual events in White Plains,
Philadelphia, Washington and
Asheville, N. C..
Keeping in mind that settle
ment OF the United States really
started with jamestown, in 1608,"
he added, "it's obvious that the
supply is infinitely greater for
european and Asian antiques.
one tendency, as a result, is

that many dealers who special
ize in American fill up in some
cases with as much as 80 per
cent and sometimes better of
their stock in post-183O mer-
chandiSe.
Kenneth E. Snow. a Newbury-
port, Mass. operator, remarked: !:
You'd be surprised. because of
this scarcity, how many people
now seek even late 19th-century
items, including such things as
mechanical banks, even plain,
ordinary toys"

Race 10 Save Digger
Buried in Ditch Fails

A workman died in a sewer
ditch cavein in Arlington County
yesterday, despite efforts of a CO.
worker and a passing truck
driver to save him.
The victims head was held
free by the truck driver, Frank
T. McGloin, Al, of 1914 Seven
teenth place NE, and Joe Lo-
gan. SO. the co-worker, who
leaped into the crumbling ditch.
They began digging with their
hands to free Alexander Gray
son. colored, of 2442 South Low
ell street, Arlington, and were
still working furiously when the
Jefferson Manor and Clarendon
rescue squads arrived.
A doctor and an intern rushed
by police from Anderson Clinic

his pain while the dramatic
rescue effort went on for more
than an hour. He died 10 min
uteS before he was dug free.
Mr.. Grayson had gone to work
just yesterday for a sewer
subcontractor, William Moore
on a new house at TIC South
Sixteenth place. Arlington. He
was digging a ditch to connect
sewer line from the house tc
the county line. The narrow
sewer trench was about IL feet
deep.

Curb on Bottle Clubs
In Prince Georges
Is Ruled Invalid

Circuit Court Judge Charles C..
Marbury yesterday declared un-
constitutional a new Prince
Georges County ordinance aimed
at restricting and controlling
after-hours clubs.
The ordinance was passed by
the County Commissioners last
October shortly after a District
breakdown started a move Of
after-hours clubs to the suburbs.
It gave the commissioners power
to license after-hours or bottle
clubs and provided that they

commissioners to follow in issu-

testers Club. They have contin-

are being argued under a tenn
porary injunction preventing
county officials from enforcing
the new ordinance.
County Attorney c. Calvert
Lancaster said he would not ap-
peal the ruling. Instead. he said
he will propose to the County
Commissioners that they re-
enact the ordinance as soon as
possible with an amendment
setting up standards and condi-
