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.
