1860 to Be Record Year,
Savings League Hears

Chairman Albert j. Robert
ton of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board today told the
annual convention of the Ma
tional League of Insured Saw
ings Associations at Miami that
savings and home financing &C
tivities next year are expected
to top this years all-time rec
ord rate for savings and loan
associations.
Current tight money con-
ditions may continue well into
next year." Mr.. Robertson said,
with sufficient influence to
take the edge off the current
boom in the savings and loan
field. New lending may rise by
about 81 billion to a 1860 total
approaching the SIG billion
level.
This estimated increase is
less than the phenomenal So
billion gain which will be
totted up in 1859. For 1860 as
a whole, however, net inflow of
savings should be close to SIS
billion, $500 million more than
in 1889"

In your neighborhood, there
must be at least a handful o,
supermarkets-and one Of then
surely is your favorite.
Why does that one store gel
most Of your food dollars?
If you are typical Of the mil
lions of us who regularly shoI
the supermarkets, your con.
Sidered judgement will be:
THE stores meats. The quail.
ity, consistent dependability Of
its meats week after week."
If you are typical of the vast
majority of us, you'll place "lov
prices" in second place as 9
factor-and you'll make price
a poor second to quality al
that.
In Washington today repre-
sentatives Of all segments Of
the food industry, attending
the Goth annual meeting Of the
National Association of Food
Chains, heard the outcome of
a Nationwide survey of SUPER
market shoppers on what as
lpects influence them most in
choosing a store. The results
were based on a large SAM
pling of almost 100000 answers
submitted by shoppers in cities
and towns across the nation
to a contest run in July and
August by the Supermarket
magazine Family Circle"
Perhaps this news about the
vital significance of the meat
counter doesn't surprise you
because you're typical and thus.
after you think it through, you
realize how much of factor
this counter is in determining
where you shop. But I'll wager
it startled a major number of
the supermarket owners in
Washington today and it'll
startle a bigger number when
the food industry gets the full
results of the survey next
month.
Yet, there simply is no ques-
ton about the high ranking
supermarket shoppers give to
the quality and dependability
of a stores meats.
Among all the aspects shop
pers mentioned, dependable
quality meats" placed first
with almost 33 per cent men,
tioning it as the single most
important characteristic of
their favorite market. Low

cent of the first-place votes.
Another IT'S per cent voted
the calibre of the meat counter
as the second most important
characteristic of their favorite
market. Low price received only
IL per cent Of the second-place
votes. Quality of meats was
omitted as a factor in choosing
a market by the fewest number
of shoppers surveyed.
Also there is just no ques-
