TALKING OF BUSINESS
Forecast 1t Yourself,
Businessman Advised
BY WILLIAM MacDOUGALL
Star Stan Writer

Do-it-yourSelf economic fore
casting can save many a busi-
nesSman a pretty penny, a
Washington business consultant
declared today.
George C. Webster, president
of the management consulting
firm at 1928 Connecticut ave-
nue. NV, which bears his
name, believes most business
men fail to use this manage
ment tool effectively.
There are no absolutes in
forecasting business trends" he
admitted. but there is a lot
of information available which
can help guide a businessman" 1"
Some. he said, might consult
population figures, construction
permits and utilities charts for
indications of what demands
may be made of them in the
months to come.

THE entrepreneur senses
trends and prepares for them
in his own way" said Mr.. Web
Ster, who teaches a business
course at American University.
"All an economist does is to
study the facts" he added,
"and most of those facts are
available to anybody"
Many businessmen, he con-
ceded, have succeeded by play
ing lunches" But there is a
better way, he said.
BY formalizing your predic-
tionS of trends year after year."
Mr.. Webster said you develop
a skill for it. You put down
your predictions and check
later against what went wrong.
After a while you can predict
your sales pretty we'll - al
though you can't expect to be
perfect"
He asserted that without ac-

and open by next February.
The building will face Nichol-
son and stand a distance west
of Wisconsin. A large parking
area will border Wisconsin and
will be accessible from it.
The company has operated
a large market with l12,5OC
square feet of space at Duke
and Pickett streets, in Alexan-
dria for the last three years
and ground was broken several
months ago for a second large
store on Chillum road, just of
Queens Chapel road, in nearby
Prince Georges County. This
store is expected to open Octo-
ber l.
Sol c. Snider, board chair
man of G. E. M, Inc, today
confirmed plans for the Mont
gomery County store after they
were mentioned before the
Montgomery County Board yes
terday in connection with road
changes in the area.
The company serves only en-
ployes of Federal, State or local
governments and their families.

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Price Index Overhaul Beqins
bY SYLVIA PORTER

during an interview last week.
When the price index is re-
vised, I believe significant con-
sideration will be given to these
items"
The overhaul of the consum-
er price index is underway.
Congress has voted the budget
for the revision, and a few
weeks ago field agents Of the
BIS began the pilot study in
Cincinnati.
Through 1862, families in 10
cities will be exhaustively sur
veyed. In 1868 new test indexes
will be constructed, in January
1864 the updated index of con-
Sumer prices will be ready.
Even though it will be so
long before the evidence is
available, I am convinced that
it will show at least three areas
of fundamental change in our
spending patterns since 1850.
Our total spending on all
forms of recreation is, I am
sure, now draStically underes-
timated. Indicative that the
BIS also suspects this is that
in its QUESTIONABLE two pages
are devoted just to spending by
family members outside the
home city, two more pages
devoted to spending for recrea-
ton, reading, education in the
home city.
Our total spending on medi-
cal care-now given a weight
of only so cents out of every
$40 spent-iS, I also am posi-
tive, greatly underestimated.
The fact that four pages in the
QUESTIONABLE are devoted to
medical care costs reveals the
BIS suspicion that we're spend
ing more than ever on medical
care and that medical care
costs more than ever.
Our total spending on the
purchase and upkeep of a home
is third area which is i'm
underestimated.
The consumer price index
may still be valid, but it is in
inadequate. 1t is less
and less a measure of what is
happening to the cost of living
of real city families whose
spending habits in 1860 bear
scant resemblance to their
habits in 1850.

Millions OF us get paid Vaca-

hefty chunks of our earnings
on holidays away from home.
Yet there is no expense item

price index.
Although the annual vaca-
ton is an integral part of the
family budget, no direct con-
slderation is given to it in this
index-which is commonly but
enormously called the cost-of-
living index. When this index
was last overhauled 10 years

price trends in holiday and

spent 4.6 per cent of its dollar
on restaurant meals in 1850.
Trends in these food prices hint
at the trend in the cost of vaca-

that's all they do.

to the cost of sporting goods

The veteran Buick automo-

is now without a new car
agency, but will carry on with
its used car business until suit
able new facilities can be found.
This was explained today by
Clarence j. Lauer, partner in
the firm, who said it is now in
business at 1886 Wisconsin ave-
nue. NV.
A spokesman for the Buick

chise with William Emerson
was terminated voluntarily, be-
cause the firms building at

Mr.. Lauer and James w.
Orme, jr., are now operating
Emerson & Orme. They said
they will carry on with the
used car business for the time
being, but are investigating
dealershipS and a location, pos
sibly in the suburbs.
They made it clear that
Emerson & Orme is still f.
nancially sound" and that they
do not expect to go out of busi-
ness, They said they were
forced out of the downtown
location.
Mr.. Orme recalled that the
business began in a stable on
K street about 1909. 1t then
moved to 1407 H street NV,
where Blackstone, Inc, the
florist, is now located.
In the early days the firm
handled the Apperson Jack
rabbit, the Pope Toledo and
the Detroit Electric automo-
biles. 1t took the Buick agency

no dealerships now. Previously,
Emerson & Orme handled the
Studebaker Lark also.
Bucks zone office here said
William Emerson is still inter-
ested in a Buick franchise, but
in smaller community.
The office explained that Will

Mr.. Lauer and Mr.. Orme.

"the oldest operating automo-

A Packed Suitcase Tells

Life is long long journey, marked by line Of luggage
through which you almost trace woman's
biography:
There her first childish belongings put excitedly
into satche for that first visit to grandma or spend
the night with friend.
And after that the slightly larger bag that she fills
with such anticipation for q sojourn to camp.
And then the trunks to be arranged and rearranged,
with mothers lowering help then carried fathers
stout shoulders she prepares for college.
And the shining dignity and wonder of that
she fills with all the secret lovely things for her wedding
journey.
And the small bag packed. often weeks ahead
patiently awaiting the joyous dash to the hospital to
have her first baby.
Somehow all this flooding poignantly back
as we supervise the packing Of chldrens bags:
small boy eagerly stuf1ng his new, very little
suitcase with his toothbrush his favore pajamas and
