Very Little Buying
Broadway was crowded, but
there wasn't much buying.
Clothing stores and jewellers
complained of few customers

We've cut prices to the bone to
bring in trade, but it hasn't
helped much. Business is bad
and we look for it to get worse"
Mark Wilson. who heads the
Downtown Gary Council. has an
appliance store. THE strike
hasn't hurt us too much yet"
he said, because we sell and
service on credit, and the Gus
toner doesn't have to pay until
80 days after strike settlement"
So it is with a lot of stores.
A mill electrician, Dave Harms,
%, stopped in to do some re-
pair work for Mr.. Wilson. Mr..
Harms has worked at the mill
10 years and has a wife and two
children. He said: I'm able to
do enough odd jobs SO we don't
feel the pinch very much, but
it would still be good to have
steady work once again."
Mr.. Harms took advantage of
the strike to finish building
home. He said: I'VE wouldn't
mind the layoff if we knew it
would end next week. 1t gives
us rest and time to get things
dore around home. But the
uncertain length of it is bad.
