TUESDAY, JULY 2. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON 10 A : '; .'NfflONAL 011 EST ; , v.? r J Edited by The Mail Tribune Adveitiiing Department SALES RISE SEEN FOR SECOND HALF AND WHOLE YEAR. Sales volume in the country's major department, specialty and variety stores in the second fiscal half, and for fiscal 1963 as a whole, should range between 3'i and 4 above last year, predicts Pro fessor Malcolm P. McNair, Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. Net prof- iu should be slightly above lost year In the second half. However, because of generally lower figures reported in the first-quarter and expected In the second quarter, 1963 profits will fall slightly below 1962's, Professor McNair said, reports the New York Herald Trib une. He added that several significant factors weigh against department store sales keep ing pace in the foreseeable future with total retail sales, including auto, food, appliance and furniture sales. These lactors arc: The nation's consumers have been spending 94 Instead of the normal 93 of dis posable income, the difference going primarily into auto purchases. Consumer credit has been oxoanding at a good rate. But when repayment of debts be gins to approach 13 to 14 of disposable income as now seems indicated, credit buying has a tendency to slacken. Discounter competitive efforts are continuing to cause Inroads into sales of more tra ditional stores. Everyone seems to be barging into soft goods business, which is the primary source of department store sales.

Today, uncooked jam is in the top of the news as the cool, modern way to make a fresh-tasting jam. The un cooked jams are stored in the refrigerator or freezer, not on the pantry shelf. They keep for weeks in the refrigerator, months in the freezer. Among the most popular flavors for uncooked jams are strawberry and raspberry, and now that the berries are in season, use it as an excuse to stop everything and make up a batch of uncooked jam! Uncooked Strawberry Jam 4 cups crushed strawberries 1 cup light Karo syrup 1 package M. C. P. jam . 5'z cups sugar and jelly pectin ' cup lemon juice Put crushed berries into a large kettle or saucepan. Sift in slowly the jam and jelly pec tin, stirring vigorously. Set aside for 30 minutes; stir occasionally. Mix in the light corn syrup thoroughly. Place saucepan over a low heat. Gradually stir in the sugar, and allow to heat to about 100F. (the temperature you would use for a baby's milk.) Stir in lemon juice. When sugar is well dissolved, the jam is ready. Makes 4 pints. Pour into covered jars. Store in freezer or freezer compartment of refrigerator for 24 hours. They may be stored In the freezer and used as needed after being stored in the regular refrigerator a few hours, or until softened. STYLE FORECAST FOR MALE TEENS. In suits, the outlook for fall is strictly tradi tional for the teen man. Remaining on top is the three-button model, reports Men's Wear. The popularity of matching vests continues to soar, and increasing interest is noted for re versibles featuring matching-to-conirasiing fabrics. The predominant fabric pattern is her ringbone in slightly lighter heather tones of olive and blue. Grey and iridescent silk shark skin continues to lead in two-button continental suits, which are still in the minority. Bulky textures lead in fall's sport coats. The look of Shetland and iweed make three-button mod els really sporty. Suede elbow patches appear everywhere, emerging as the hit of the sea son for teens. The traditional blazer will again take the major portion of sport. coat volume, and camel may well challenge the long standing dominance of navy. Low-rise and slim pro portions continues to lead the slack list. New is suede piping on side pockets and waistband adjustments. For sweaters, the cardigan will be most popular. There are two types: The basic button-front and the Alpine zip front ski sweater with a crewneck. Included are a fresh new range of brushed mohairs and wool blends.
