Record Toy pfi
Sales Are felJ
Predicted V&M
By Gay Pauley tilJJt
NEW YORK (UPl) Those
merry little cash registers at
the toy counters will ring up a
record sales (or 106:t with pur
chase of everything from the
classic teddy bear to a now doll
who converses in six languages
contributing.
The Toy Manufacturers of the
U. S. A., Inc. estimated that
their sales for l!lli3 will set a
record, if they keep the sales
pace they had set through Sep
tember. The year l!Hi2 was the indus
try's first billion dollar year at
wholesale level when toy pur
chases totaled $1.1 billion. For
KIM, said the manufacturers'
president, A. C. Gilbert, Jr.,
sales should run six to nine per
cent ahead of 1!IH2.
The industry once cslimatcd
sales at the retail level, too.
but quit three years ago simply
because the highly competitive
market which included discount
houses made it impossible to
make an accurate estimate of
retail purchases, said Frank
Gavitt, a manufacturers' spokes
man. Sales Double
Manufacturer sales totals
have more than doubled in the
last decade. The association
said purchases for '53 totalled
S513 million. In 1947, the total
was $308 million.
All that loot (or the chil
dren's Christmas stocking shows
two major trends this year,
said the manufacturers.
One is the plethora of new
toys.
Stranaelv. said Gilbert, the
mililary group includes only
small seement of snace - age
tovs, apparently because as one ; "We know there will be car
manufacturer explained, boys : loads of teddy bears sold this
associate being grownup with , year." he said. "There always
being what dad is now or was
at sometime in his life. And
rare are Ihc dads who blast off
to work each morning.

But otherwise, the national ;
defense I heme seems to b e
going greal guns. There is an
Army Engineer's set of heavy :
guage sleel that's oriented to
building air fields or missile
bases, a plot of land for bar
racks, or just high speed high
ways. There's a Tiger Joe tank
lhat's a yard long and can be
driven forward or backward by
remote control. It climbs over
obstacles and the cannon breech
loads harmless plastic shells.
The variety of planes is in
finite; so is the variety of mili
tary seacraft, said the manu
facturers. For small girls, new toys
include cosmetics kits to make
up themselves, or to make up
their dolls: a variety of house-;
hold appliances; and dolls
which this year are greater
performers than ever before.
Dolls. Dolls, Dolls
There are dolls that cry,
dolls that drool, dolls that blow
up balloons, dolls whose hair
"grows", dolls which squirm
with pleasure as they are fed
from bottles, dolls which cry
when spanked, and laugh when
tickled. There's one doll
: equipped for a conversation in
six languages, and another who
coughs and sneezes between
conversational gambits her
young owner is supposed lo
nurse her back lo health.
Gilbert said all Ihe long-time
favorites abound. The Western
influence continues, and this
year children will have a choice
of hundreds, perhaps thousands,
of stuffed animals
are.
One other price nole: Gilbert
said that in general "loy prices
will be a little lower this year."
