Compared with a gain of
around 6 per cent in area de-
partment store sales. 1856 VOL
umes of drug stores averaged
around 7 per cent above the pre-
ceing year. reported George b.
Burrus, president Of Peoples
Drug Stores. Inc.
"A large portion OF the in

serious questions as to which
developments will prove success
full. This is especially true with
the large number of new shop
ping centers, some of which COM
pete with others close by.
There are only about $50 ex-
pert appraisers in the Washing
ton area and heavy demand for
their services has kept them
busy" said Mr.. Baxter.
Adelbert w. Lee, secretary of
the American Society of Apprais-
lers and veteran Washington
appraiser. also predicted that
ambitious programs of the Re-
development Land Agency and
the National Capital Housing
Authority will vitality affect the
Washington economy.
District Homes Reduced
Pointing out that almost the
entire Southwest Area will be
cleared of existing buildings, Mr..
Lee said this drastic action will
make better planning possible.
Many District residents have
moved to suburban areas and
this has thrown a large number
of District homes on the mar
ket," he said.
With supply greater than de-
mand, it has been buyers mar
Iket for District homes. Older
homes are selling for about Is
per cent less than a year ago and
this exodus has created the
largest turnover in many years.
This trend Is expected to con-
tinue in 1857"
Hotel Occupancy Improves
Washington hotel executives
were pleased as the occupancy
rate Of their establishments
turned slightly higher in 1856
and a further gain is expected
in 1857. reported Herbert C.
Blunck, outgoing president of the
Hotel Association of Washington.
He is general manager of Hotel
Statler here.
The new year is expected to
get off to a slow start because
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-04

, hotels viii have to hold rooms
vacant to be sure Of accomrno-
dating those expected during
the inauguration" he said. "ItI
will take week or SO after the
inaugural for hotels to return
to normal occupancy"
Mr.. Blunck said aggressive
promotional activities and the
continued development of Wash
ington as a tourist center should
boost hotel business here in
1857. The Capital is expected
to attract increasing numbers of
conventions and tourist groups.
Electric Appliances Lag
The electrical appliance in
dustry in this area showed a S.
per cent decline from the previ-
GUS year in 1856 although some
major appliances recorded gains,
declared George c. Webster,
president of the Electric In
stitute of Washington.
The years sales were esti-
mated at $74.6 million, compared
with $78 million in 1855. Some
Of the drop was attributed toll
a 20 per cent decline in residen-
tial construction. Sales changes
in leading appliances included:
Electric ranges. down 49, per
cent; vacuum cleaners. up sol
per cent; freezers. down 2.6 per
cent: ironers. down 22.9 per cent;
washers, down S per cent; dry
ers. down 7.9 per cent and re-
frigerators. off Is per cent. A !
10 per cent drop in air-condi-
TONERS was blamed on a cool
July and August.
Dealers expect a 5 per cent |
sales increase in 1857, although |
this will depend somewhat on
housing starts" said Mr.. Web
Ster.
Advertising Billings Up
| A telephone poll of advertising
agencies and users of advertising
Lineage revealed that billings
here in 1856 were from 10 to 80
per cent above the previous year,
said Robert III. Lewis, president
Iof the Washington Advertising
Club. He is advertising director
for the Washington Gas Light |
Co.
THE strong business trend |
now prevalent gives every indi-
cation of continuing in 1857
he added.
Training Is Big Problem
II. Sherwood Father. president
Of the Washington Sales Execu-
tives Club said recent survey
revealed that sales executives
count sales manpower and train
ing as their No. ! problem for
1857.
A training program was re-
quested by rs per cent of the
executives questioned. Our abil-
ity to produce may be overtak-
ing our ability to SELL" suggested
Mr.. Father. IF that happens,
we are in trouble"
Revolving Credit Popular
Biggest development in retail
credit during 1856 was public
acceptance of what is termed
revolving credit" declared John
X. Althaus. secretary Of the
Credit Bureau.
Washington was slow in de-
veloping the idea which caught
on in other large cities several
years ago." said Mr.. Althaus.
This type of account enables
the consumer to buy what his
family needs and pay from con-
tinuing income.
THE consumer decides how
large a monthly payment he can
conveniently make and this is
multiplied by 6. 8. 10 or IL, to
| eStabliSh a purchase limit"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-04

crease came from new and larger
stores opened during the year.
he declared. Merchandise was
in ample supply. New outlets
and introduction of new products
raised inventories to a new
high"
Mr.. Burrus also reported Q
continued rise in the cost oil
doing business. "All phases Of
operation are being studied care
fully in an attempt to reduce
operating cost per dollar of sales
Greater competition will keer
retail prices at a low level with
smaller profits for each SALE
His company will continue ar
ambitious expansion program Of
new and larger stores in 1857
but Mr.. Burrus said selection OF
profitable locations becomes in
lcreasingly hazardous as the
population continues to move
and new shopping centers de-
velop in a given area"
Food Competition Keen
Intensive promotional activi-
ties. brought on by unusually
keen competition, added interest
to the retail food business in
Washington last year." COM
mented Edgar Balshaw, Wash
ington division managre for
ISafeway Food Stores. Inc.
+ Promotion took a variety OF
forms. Non-food items, includ-
ing housewares. electrical appli-
ances and even room size rugs,
were featured at low prices in
bookstore advertising. Trading
stamps made their appearance
in Maryland and Virginia stores
of some companies in 1885,. he
pointed out. Health and beauty
aids moved into more promi-
hence in bookstore promotional
programs"
Mr.. Balshaw said expansion of
store facilities of already estab-
lished companies of the area and
the entry into the market of
two more food chains, spurred
competition during the year.
Most major companies have
announced plans for further ex-
pansion in 1857. and there is
every indication that compe-
tition for the consumers dol
lar will continue to mount" he
said. "Promotional activities
will continue at an intensified
rate"
Mr.. Balshaw said Sideways
modernization and replacement
program in 1856 included COM
pletion of five large-scale super
markets in this area. At the
year end it had four new stores
under construction and three
more out for bids. Other COM
panies were similarly active in
new construction.
Property Values Changing
Rehabilitation of rundown
central city sections. rapid
growth Of suburban business and
residential sections, together
with basic changes in highways
and streets. have paved the way
for substantial changes in land
use and property values in this
area. reported r. Lee Baxter,
president of Washington Chap
ter, Society of Residential APP
praisers and governor-elect Of
the national organization. He is
vice president of American Saw
ings e. Loan Association.
THE planned Southwest de-
velopment program will raise
community rejuvenation to a
breathtaking level and it would
be impossible to calculate the
basic benefits that will come
from It," he declared.
Continued mushrooming of
suburban development has raised

regulations under consideration
are adopted, he said.
mo serious difficulty is antici-
pated in the financing of home
purchases within the District Of
Columbia during the new year
Interest rates are up-yeS-be-
cause a proper valuation is being
placed upon the just rewards for
the investors thrift"
Three leading rackets claiming
attention of the Better Business
Bureau at the year end were
the home improvement racket
fictitious comparative prices and
pleas for contributions to phony
charities. reported Leland S
Mccarthy, managing director.
Waterproofing. roofing. paint
ing, electrical work. plumbing
masonry and other types of work
are represented in the COM
plants. Many come too late
for the bureau to do anything
about them.
Because of the seriousness of
the problem, the Federal Housing
Agency has. put out a "Precau-
tionary Measures List" This list
of 5000 questioned firms in
cludes around 40 in this area.
The prospective home improver
should consult this list.
The problem Of fictitious COM
parative prices posted by a num-
Der Of Washington merchants is
growing worse. Mr.. Mccarthy
said. Despite publicity and nu-
merous shopping inspections. we
continue to find unbelievably
untrue comparatives in use"
Charity racketeers also con-
tinue to reap fat profits, report
ed Mr.. Mccarthy. Some So
called veterans charities use up
from 10 to 80 per cent of the
money before it ever reaches the
designated purpose.
Auto Outlook Improves
Because of increased operating
costs, profits of automobile deal
ers in the Washington area were
definitely unsatisfactory in 1856,
but should improve in 1857, re-
ported Harry Monroe. JR., presi-
dent of the Automotive Trade
Association of the National Capt.
tai Area. Mr.. Monroe is owner
Of Monroe Ford Co. Of Silver
Spring.
Area new-car sales in 10
months of 1856 totaled 63,700,
down 20 per cent from the pre-
vious busy year, but still almost
IL per cent above 1854, also a
good year Therefore 1856 sales
must be considered satisfactory"
he said. Ten months truck
sales were 1892 in 1854, ALL
in 1855 and 4.545 in 1856, a gain
of almost 20 per cent in two
years."
Dealers profits in nine months
this year sank to IL per cent
of sales from 2.6 per cent in
1855 and IL per cent in 1854,
according to figures compiled by
the National Association Of Sc
curities Dealers. while the de-
cline from IL per cent to IL
per cent does not seem sharp,
it actually is a 35 per cent cut
in profits per $1,000 Of sales.
Increased costs and highly COM
petitive sales were to blame,
declared Mr.. Monroe.
Continuation of general pros
perity in 1857 and radical
changes in models should en-
courage sales and the somewhat
larger volume, plus controlled
costs, should bring a definite
improvement in dealer profits, ~
he said.
Drug Sales Up 7 Pct.
Compared with a gain OF
around 6 per cent in area de-
partment store sales. 1856 vol
umes of drug stores averaged
around 7 per cent above the pre-
ceing year, reported George b.

town businessman must continue
to be alert to ways and means
Of making more productive use
of his property" The Board of
Trade will take an active part
in promoting downtown improve
ments during 1857, he said.
No Cutbacks in Sight
Mr.. Gibbs, who is secretary of
Peoples Drug Stores, Inc. said the
reelection of President Eisen-
hover and the reinsurance of
no upheaval in Federal employ
ment indicated that customers
of Washington merchants will
enjoy steady. continuous employ
ment in 1857.
In January a year ago, there
were about 228,000 paid civilian
employees of the Federal Govern
ment in the area and in October,
1856. this figure had grown to
more than 231, 000." he said.
There have been no major
cutbacks visible in military in
stallations and the world situa-
ton indicates the service people
here will at least remain in the
same proportions and possibly
increase. Department store sales
Of the area, including suburban
stores. were 6 per cent above a
year ago in the first II months
of last year although this mar
gin may be cut slightly for the
IL months" he reported.
THE coming of cold weather
and the many extra thousands
of dollars which will be spent
in Washington during the in
auguration period will see the
year off to a fast start" he said.
Merchants will join in a spec
tacular Summer Jubilee" spon-
sored by the Greater National
Capital Committee and this will
tie into hundreds of social, civic
and entertainment events being
planned for next summer.

downtown Washington does
not really have any competition
and by comparison with the
most modern and complete

said.
There are over 10000 super

Great decisions will be made
in 1857 which will affect real
estate in the District for genera
tons to come, said Charles L.
Norris, ST., president of the
Washington Real Estate Board.
"Indecision prevails upon such
matters as the new Lewis zon-
ing proposals; urban renewal
activities and plans" he said,
especially as they tend to de-
part from the original Rouse
Keith plans; locating Of bridges
over the Potomac River and
access roads thereto: freeway To-
cations and accesses thereto;
auditorium and stadium sites.
For example, until pending
coming changes are acted upon,
