New Freight Cars Raise
Big Financing Problem

In continuing their efforts To
meet the needs of shippers, the
Nations railroads by the end
of this year will have installed
about 100000 new freight cars
costing more than $1A billion
In "a months, it was reported
last night by President William
T. Farley of the Association of
American Railroads.
Addressing the Railroad Pub
lie Relations Association at
Edgewater Park. Miss, Mr..
Farley said that on May /
freight car installations have
exceeded retirements by some
$4,000 cars in the last IL months.
Moreover. he said the rail-
roads currently have 100000
cars on order-more than a
years deliveries even at the
present accelerated rate of car
building.
Mr.. Farley said the railroads
major problem in providing an
adequate car supply is one of
finance. He pointed out that new
cars costing $500 each are re-
placing cars which in many in
stances cost only around $4,000
and the depreciation accrued on
a $4,000 car will not finance an
$4,000 investment in replace
ment. AS a result, huge amounts
must be found by the railroads

Retailers, particularly oper-
ators Of the smaller stores
"have been going through a
stormy period which may well
reach the stage of catastrophe
for many Of them in 1857 and
1885," Victor Lebow, eminent
marketing consultant. writes in
the spring issue Of New York
University's Journal of Retail
ing.
1.-The steady increase in the
total number of retail stores
has masked the precarious ex-
istence most of them lead" Mr..
Lebow states in his grim analy-
sis.
"A retail store that opens to-
day has only a IA per cent
chance of survival beyond its
first half year Of existence. Only
40 per cent can pass the two
and-one-half year mark. AS for
those who can expect to be in
business 10 years from now,
only II per cent will make it.,
Mr.. Lebow writes and, in ital-
les. adds: THE plain fact is
that the average retailer exists
in an atmosphere of disaster.
Cause Of Trouble
There are many reasons cited.
One reason is the fact that fam
lilies with incomes above sub
sistence levels are moving to-
ward the suburbs and most city
retailers are unable to move
with them. Meanwhile, income
is not rising fast enough to
keep up with the rising flood
Of merchandise.
Another factor is that manu-
facturers are increasing their
domination Of retailers. With
Advertising they control pub
lie demand and, to the extent
they can under tottering flair
trade" laws, they dictate mar
gins.
Meanwhile. he points out that
a small proportion of retailers
are getting a larger share of
business. Supermarkets. repre-
senting only To per cent of all
food stores. do close to so per
cent of total volume and super
cites. less than 20 per cent Of
the stores in number, do 26.4
per cent Of the volume. The

ConsuItont Sees Retailers
In Disaster ATMOSPHERE

small stores, 1875 per cent of the
total. have less than IA per
cent Of the business.
Retailers May Suffer
New autom obiles, new
homes. new appliances, new fur
niture and new foodstuffs are
all higher in price. Because
these purchases leave less of
the consumers income available
for further expenditures and
because so many of them in
volve installment buying and
the mortgaging Of future in
come. it is pretty safe to guess
that the physical volume of
goods sold in 1857 can actually
be no higher and may well be
even lower than in 1856. Quite
possibly the higher price level
will force a decline in the physi-
cal volume of merchandise sold
during 1857"
II there is any slowing down
in buying, he added, the retail
er. as repository for manufac-
turers' inventory, will be hit
first.
