ty in such lines as automobiles

The Department said business
activity at mid-year continued
to reflect the stimulus of rising

Consumer purchasing contin-

the strong sales of goods at re-
tail stores and a continued rise
in service expenditures, the de-
partment reported yesterday.
Retail sales in June, seasonal
ly adjusted. continued at the
record May rate. Total sales in
the first half of the year were up
4 per cent from the correspond
ing period of 1855. The report
said the downtrend in sales of
durable goods stores from the
1855 highs appears to have been
arrested with aggressive sales of
durables firmly maintained in
the last few months.
Demand for nondurable goods
continued high with sales on a
seasonably adjusted basis ris-
ing into new high ground.
New construction in June ex-
Ipanded by about the normal
seasonal amount from May.
The June figure was about the
same as those for April and May,
making the second quarter total
the largest on record.
Total employment in June
moved ahead to a new high, with
more than half of the largely
seasonal increase from May

that the plan has never been

Store executives say the plan
might be convenient Tor Gus

most store employees could not

1T would amount to a revo-

The executives said they we're
at a loss to understand how such

though there have been some
discussions as to what hours the

the fall season starts. Last year
stores remained open two nights

want to do this again remains
to be seen.

Suburban Store Changes
1t is understood that Wood
ward g. Lothrop has made an
extensive survey of hours in SUBJ
urban stores to determine
whether it might be possible to
open at 10 am. instead of $3.50
am. and thereby reduce some of
the hours increase caused by
night openings. However, no
consideration has been given to
any change in downtown hours.
an executive said.
Present discussions Of store
hours will be steered carefully
from any revolutionary ideas
and will be devoted mainly to
mending some differences Of
opinion which have developed
between stores.
One of the differences is
exemplified by the decision of
Woodward g. Lothrop to open at
the regular time on Thursday
morning, despite additional
evening hours. Other big stores
did not follow, but Woodward &
Lothrop officials have expressed
much satisfaction over Thurs
day morning results.
