New Records Predicted

An industry which faces ar

with consumer spending still
heading up, new records appear

But the industry is plagued

rising costs. Here from Theo-
dore Schlesinger. president Of
Allied Stares Corp, the Ma
tons largest department store
organization. with l04 store
units and o few discount stores
as well, is an analysis Of the
field.
Porter: What's the outlook
for retailing this year2
Schlesinger: / would expect
sales to be 2 TO 8 per cent
above last years record on 9
strictly comparable basis Of the
same number Of stores. which Il
the way we calculate increases
If new stores are included, the
gain would be closer to last
years ga per cent.
Major Problem Listed
Porter: What would the ef-
fects Of q tax cut be?
Schlesinger: 1t would depend
on its nature. II it's q tempo
rary booster shot. 1t could pro-
vide q big spur to retail sales
but this would be only tenn
porary and I think 1t woulc
be an unhealthy sales boom.
Porter: What Is the biggest
problem facing retailers today
Schlesinger: It's not sales
despite the competitive picture
and the problem Of the dis
count stores. It's how to make
q profit with rising costs. We
need q 2 to 3 per cent growth
rate Just to stay in the same
place, because of our creeping

against Just riding along on q
label. We went into the dis
count store business In 1861,
now have four stores. and we
know there's no magic In q
label.
Consumers are getting fed up
with poor discount stores Just
as they did with poor depart
ment stores and poor food
stores.
Shifting Emphasis
Porter; Are downtown stores
still declining versus suburban
stores7
Schlesingcr; In some cases
undoubtedly, for there Is less
room for large department
stores In today's average city.
You may find the biggest store.
the second biggest store and.
in some cases. q third, but the
fourth. fifth and sixth stores
have generally been absorbed
or have folded. This has been
going on since World War II
and ! think the trend win con-
tinue. We have found that TO
have one Of the dominant
downtown stores plus suburban
branches Is q very successful
combination. In fact. the rela-
tionship Of q strong downtown
store plus suburban outlets
might be called the ideal of
current department store re-
failing.
Porter: Do you have trouble
attracting people to retail
careers2
SchIeslnger; Yes, and we're
working very hard on this
problem constantly. Basically 1t
stems from the fact that
youngsters want o five-day
work week now and they don't
like the idea OF working Sat-
urdays or even one night O
week. But essentially. retailing
is q service business and we
must stay open when people
can shop.

second career in the public eye
seems 10 have run into compli-
cations.
His first career was about
decade ago when. at IS. he shot
into prominence as aide to the
late Senator McCarthy's inves-
legations subcommittee.
Afterward. he dropped out OF
sight. quietly practicing law in
New York.
Then. in 1859. he burst upon
the national business scene by
buying control Of Lionel Corp,
the toy train maker, and plung-
ing into q half dozen other
businesses.
BY last year. he had con-
struced an intricate business
web that took in electronics,
defense contracting. q travel
agency, insurance, advertising,
transportation and sports pro-
motion.
Fortune Mounted
His personal fortune was
growing into the millions. His
name might crop UP in any one
Of q dozen places on business
pages. He was clearly q man on
the move.
Today. the situation is
changed. He has made no visi-

recent months. He has not APP

his share of one corporation

And this month. he said he

the 36-year-old Mr.. Cohn. I'VE

Whatever develops from the
Lionel situation, Mr.. Cohn has
already written o remarkable
personal history.
It began when he was 10 and
