TALKING OF BUSINESS
Surplus Stores Do Good Business
But Military Items Take Back Seat
BY WILLIAM MacDOUGALL
Star stan Writer


War surplus stores-15 years
after World War II-have
never had it so good.
Although military surplus
materials are still on the mar
ket, they have long since taken
a back seat to other goods in
surplus store displays.
Dealers in the Washington
area have found a much more
profitable market for their
wares-a market as big as all
outdoors.
THE trend is to outdoor
goods like camping gear, guns
and TOOLS" declared Raymond
E. Lassen, owner of the Falls
Church Surplus Co., Inc. I'VE
have all had to get into some
thing else beside surplus goods
because they are less available
now. And outdoor goods have
really fit the bill"
Trend Throughout Region
Throughout the region. deal
ers generally reported the same
trend in a field Of Washington
area commerce that repeatedly
crosses more than 50 million a
year.
About one-third of our
merchandise is surplus items"
observed 81 Amanuel, general
manager of the Surplus Sales
Co., "and the rest of it is new.
1t used to be just about the
opposite"
Many surplus stores Sprang

the end of World War II when
the armed forces were diSpos- i

the same kind of materials be-

of the Korean War, but since |

chant, the desirable items

He said that only the Riggs

top Financial Generals five

their June Is deposit totals are:

straps and 100000 bars of CT
soap.
The smaller stores, however,
normally buy most surplus
! stocks from wholesale firms,
willingly paying a premium be-
cause of the potential high
markup of such goods.
I'VE get a markup of from
20 to 100 per cent on surplus
items" one merchant admitted,
while our new merchandise is
usually marked up from SO to
40 per cent. Naturally we like
to stock as much surplus as we
can-although you've got to
remember we have to store this
stuff sometimes for a year or
two and take a risk on some
of these things"
Wide Variety Of Items
There is not as much risk as
one might think, however, con-
sidering the curious variety of
products the stores sell. Sur
plus Sales, for instance, offers
machetes at $2.49 each with
case, and three-foot- high
dummy bombs for $4.95.
Mr.. Amanuel complains he
can't stock enough of the
bombs. popular in some quar-
ters as lawn and recreation
room decorations.
Another merchant, Mr.. Las
sen, frankly admits he attempts
to attract trade by featuring
what he calls "oddball items
and gadgets." Two of his cur
rent best sellers. he says, are
reproductions of Civil War mus
ketS and hand generators out of
Army field equipment.
Most of the stores also fea-
ture work and outdoor clothing
and such items as standard

but they face stronger competi-
ton in this field from other
kinds of stores.
Some Favor Specialties
Consequently, many mer-
chants have turned to speciality
items in an attempt to broaden
their sales spectrum.
Don Dunnington, owner OF
Super Surplus Centers, says he
has done a good business in
foam rubb ber, while Falls
Church'S Mr.. Lassen claims he
has scored a sales hit with guns.
Although the changes and
readjustments have forced some
surplus dealers out of business
in the past 10 years. the survi-
vors generally feel the market
is straig tening out and
improving.
ITS a stable thing now" Mr.
Amanuel declared, "and a good
thing for all of us. We're gen.
eral merchandise people now
and we've got an all-year de-
mand for our goods"
