o O TRIftUNE, MdforJ, Oregon, Thursday, July 24, 1958 Business to Increase, Credit Conference Told Retail1 sales are on the in- cree with all signs pointing toward an increase in busi ness volume, according to Vern R. Bacon, manager of the Credit Bu?eau of Medford, Inc. Bacon attended the 44th an nual International Consumer CiQUt conference in Los An jjeles earlier this week. ' He said there was a wave of optimism among the dele gates. In a survey taken by John W. Luhring, vice presi dent of the Union Bank, Los Angel, delegates indicated they expected prices to re main fairly steady and no sharp chanae was predicted for the best of the year as far as retail Inventories are con cern. Improvement in Volume "ImprovemeiSt in the vol ume of retail sales and con signer credit buying was fore ct by nearly 90 per cent of the conference delegates," Luhring said. "They also re ported retail trade improved (ince May 1. Opinions were based on the assumption that no major international devel opment would take place dur O ing tile balance of the year," Bac&i reported Luhring as 3 saying. o Those participa4ing in the survey were divided as to whether or not the general easing of credit had had a sti mulating effect on their sales, he said. "Western delegates report ed materially greater im provement in sales during re cent months than did dele gates from other parts of the nations. Westerners were like wise more optimistic about the outlook for both retailing and consumer credit buying than those from the east and middle west. The middle west delegates held more optimis tic views than did those from the east," Luhring reported. iff : M Mf'M 1 NAMED TO POST Mrs Irene Childs, above, who has been an employee of the Jack son County Federal Savings and Loan association since January, 1954, has been ap- pointed assistant secretary and manager of the savings department.
