NEW YORK CUPID = AL
though retail trade improved
sharply in November, 1861 was
a year of shrinking profits for
many merchants.
1t also was marked by a con-
tinued shift to marketing meth
DDS designed to pre-sell mer-
chandise or make it sell itself
once it was on the shelves and
display racks.
Sales people continued to di.
minish in numbers, partly be-
cause of the necessity to cut
costs and partly because trained
salesfolk became scarcer.
Government figures put re-
tail sales in November at an
annual rate of $19.3 billion,
passing the previous peak rate
of $50 billion.
But for the first nine months
of the year, retail trade in gen.
eral was down 1.9 per cent, al
though sales of chain stores
We're up 3 per cent. The big
mail order houses with their
attached chain outlets had a
sales gain of about 40 per cent

Sales of plastics were expect
ed to end the year up IL per
cent from 1865 record con-
sumption. Total industry sales
were estimated at 6.5 billion
pounds.
In a year-end review, E. E.
Winnie, vice president, w. r.
Grace & Co., Polymer Chem
icals division, said:
1.-THE growth rate for plas-
tics in 1862 is expected to con-
tinue expanding at the indus
try's compounded annua
growth rate of about II to IL
per cent during the past decade.
The rate of growth for plastics
is about four times the gain for
all industry during the same
period. However, the sales
revenue and profits of the plas-
tics industry have not kept pace
with this gain because of declin-
ing prices due to overcapacity.
This overcapacity resulted from
the apparent, attractive profit

through August.
But only Sears, Roebuck &
Co. had a substantial profit
gain.
Discount stores were esti-
mated to have run their volume
up more than ST. billion to 81
billion for the year, while de-
partment stores apparently suf-
fered some loss from the $14
billion level of 1860.
The need to build big new
branch stores in the mushroom.
ing suburbs continued to sharp
en- the cost squeeze. So did the
need to renovate downtown
stores. And the installation of
automated equipment for ac-
counting and warehousing has
only started to offset the cost
spiral that still is cutting earn
ings and profit margins in re.
tail trade.
Prospects for the new year
were better. There were some
signs of a less rapid rate of
change in retailing - which
has experienced its most dras-
tic revolution in the country's
history in the past dozen years.
There was reason to believe
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1962-01-23

that 1862 retail demand will at
least equal the expected IA per
cent gain in disposable personal
income.
The food and drug chains did
better than the all-retail aver
age or the all.chain average in
increasing their volume. Chains
re m aimed a minor factor,
though, in the total retail drug
business.
And in food, the so-called
voluntary chains" of individu-
ally-owned stores or co-ops in
creased their share of the total
business at the expense of both
the big national integrated
chains and the old style indie
pendent grocer.
Big grocery chains, Grand
Union, Food Fair and others,
began to break into the grow
ing discount department store
field. So did the variety store
chains, the former five and
tens. F. w. Woolworth Co. an
nounced in midsummer it would
open more than a score of
large discount houses, mainly
in shopping centers.
The building of large super
markets continued, but slowed
down somewhat.
The big slump was in retail
purchases of durable goods.
Sales of these were down about
IA per cent for the first three
quarters, with automobiles and
automotive products down 10
per cent.

Frank Hall, WRCV-TV's

catch the spirit of the colonial

Record Deer Kill
Set During '62 Hunt

Record numbers of both deer
and humans we're shot during
Delaware's three day deer
hunting season which closed
Saturday.
The total number of deer
bagged--703--was the highest
since the deer hunting seasons
were introduced in 1854.
The number of hunters shot
--three--broke an eight-year
hunting safety record in which
there had never been a shoot
ing accident reported In deer
hunting season.
The previous high for deer
killed was $50 in 1859, the last
time the state had a three day
season.
This years total was achiev-
ed despite rain which held down
the kill on Friday. There we're
286 deer killed on Thursday,
1877 on Friday and 280 on Sat-
urday.
BY county this year, 284 deer
were killed in Kent, 23l in New

l.. Harmic, Delaware's chief of
game and fish management,
said the kill was lowest in Sus-
sex primarily because most of
the hunters are from the north

The biggest deer of this sea-

Father Karnis, assistant pas
tor of St. Thomas R. C. Church,

a well received message eau
toned his listeners against the

"attempt to drive God out of

In his concluding remarks,
Father Karnis pointed out that
when the children of veterans
are taught that values exist
without relation to God, then
what the veteran fought for
peace with honor r--becomes as
