Retail Scene
Marked by
Mixed Trends

NEW YORK. Jan. 4 A1.--
For retailers. 1857 was q year
Of changing patterns.
Consumers spent more money
than ever before but they
probably bought less merchan-
disc. The increase in total re-
tail spending--from Sl9i.5 bill
lion in 1886 10 5000 billion in
1957-was entirely due 10 two
factors: Prices were higher
than in 1886 and there were
more consumers to buy for.
Layons In major industrial
centers clouded the 1857 re-
tail scene. So did thinner pay
envelopes and smaller dividend
checks. Many consumers had
less folding money.
After several years OF trad
ing up"-steering customers q
higher quality, higher priced
goods merchants encountered
a stubborn wall OF price re-
sistance. Big stores planned 70
put more emphasis on lover
priced merchandise In 1858.
With operating costs at an
all-time peak. many retailers
saw profits diminish. The ac-
cent everywhere was on cutting
expense. The trend toward self
selection--having the customer
wait on herself-gained new
momentum.
II was q year OF intense
competition. The department
store was on the defensive on
several fronts.
A survey by the National Re-
tail Dry Goods Association
found suburban shopping GEN.
ters taking business away from
big department stores down.
town.
There were slam bang price
wars between department
stores and discount houses.
Food supermarkets increased
their penetration Of the depart
ment store field by opening
their own appliance and APP
parel outlets. Novelty chain
stores which had once confined
themselves TO 5 and 10 cent
items sold big ticket" depart
ment store wares like suits,
coats. furniture and record
players.
For 1888 the outlook was
uncertain. Economists pointed
out that consumer spending Is
as much q product as q cause
Of booming business conditions
that people curtail their
spending chiefly because their
incomes and buying power are
down. And most indicators
pointed to q lower level Of gen.
eral business activity In the
months ahead.

DRIVERS COULD HELP
TO w THEIR INSURANCE

SAN FRANCISCO = The place
to start reducing automobile in
surance rates is on the streets
and highways.
This 'down-to-earth" fact is
Spotlighted in a new leaflet pre-
pared by the Association OF
Casualty and Surety Companies
to explain why rates are rising
and how motorists can reverse
the trend. The pamphlet, You
Can Help to Bring Down Your
Automobile Insurance Rates." is
being mailed to insured car
owners throughout the country
by insurance agents and brokers.
Automobile insurance costs
more, the mailing piece says,
because increased accidents plus
increased costs equal higher
rates.
Automobile liability insurance
rates begin in traffic accidents"
according to the pamphlet. Until
there is a crash, there are no
soaring repair costs, no sky
rocketing medical and hospital
bills, no up-swinging general in
flation, no rising jury verdicts-
all of which keep pushing claim
costs up, up, up.
Your rates are determined by
the number of accidents caused
by car garaged in your rating
territory and the cost of settling
claims arising out of those acct
dents. If claims and claim costs
increase, your rates must follow;
if they decrease, your rates will
follow"
In describing what can be
done to bring safety and sanity to
our highways, the pamphlet ex-
presses a let-the-punishment-fit-
the-crime attitude.
If you and your community
are ready for strict and impartial
traffic law enforcement a
