Merchants See Christmas Boost; Planning Heavy Use Of Newspaper More than half of 268 retailers around the country expect to do more Christmas business this year than in 1959, according to an in dustry survey conducted by mem ber newspapers of the Bureau of Advertising, American Newspaper Publishers Association. Fifty-seven per cent of these re tailers, selling in 110 markets, said they thought their Christmas business volume would increaselof those surveyed will start Christ. snout 7.5 per cent. Another 30 npr pent felt business would be 1 about the same as last year, while 13 per cent believe their volume will fall off about 10 per cent. These figures show a general feeling that business will be off tlightly this year, when compared with retailer sentiment expressed In a similar survey last year. In 1959, 82 per cent of those sur veyed expected Christmas sales to be up. The merchants also feel that their profit picture will be tight S9.7 per cent surveyed felt their profits would increase this year and by an average of 5 per cent, while 27.8 per cent believed their situation would stay the same. Only 32.5 per cent expected their profits to decline about I per cent on the average. PIJoi-lv UmB Although their mood might beC,aer,y nmB characterized as cautious . opti mism, retailers generally are not discouraged by the Christmas '60 picture. As one department store merchant put it, "Business is al ways 'hard to get.' If the items are right there'll be business." In the face of this tougher busi ness climate merchants are go ing to try two tactics: they in tend to advertise harder and they begin their Christmas promo-i tion push at an earlier date Karlier Promotions Scheduled The old retailing rule of thumb that had Christmas promotions I Animal Supply Firm Opened Klamath Animal Supply, a one slop animal service, held its open house Saturday.

Beliiger, the new Thunder-bird it rolled into the ihowroom floor main en display and the public is invited to stop in for starting right after Thanksgiving seems to have gone the way of arm garters and celluloid collars A mere 20 per cent of retailers will wait until after Thanksgiving to start Yule promotions. About 29 per cent will start between November 15 and Thanksgiving, and the majority 51 per cent will be promoting Christmas sales before Nov. 15. Some 16 per cent mas promotion earlier this year man last Over two-thirds of the retailers fear that the customer is going to be harder to sell this year than last. Some 67.5 per cent say business will be "harder to get," 25.6 per cent say it will be "about the same," and only 6.9 per cent look forward to "easier" sales. Various reasons are advanced for this expected tightening of the market. Retailers cite "local un-! employment" in some areas, "in- creased competition." "discount ers," "unsettled world conditions," and "reluctance of customers to get deeper into debt. Bigger Advertising Budgets Instead of accepting the situa tion complacently, more than a Agent Visits W. K. Peery, financial chair man of the Forest Glen Senior Residence, a new home for the elderly being built in Canyonville Oregon, was in Klamath Falls this week in the interests of the new home. He slated that the sponsors have received a large number of inquiries from the south central and Eastern Oregon area. Peery stated the home was the most reasonable in costs, both as to entry and monthly charges, of any of the homes in the North west. He said this was true be cause of the lowered costs of op eration. The home will be run in conjunction with Forest Glen Hospital which has served that I area for several years.

Another 54.7 per cent will maintain advertising at last year's level, while only 10.2 per cent expect to trim the ad budget an average 10 per cent. This year, as last, soft goods merchandise lines are being counted on to make the biggest percentage gains at Christmas. Women's wear was cited by 24.4 per cent of the retailers as the biggest single volume gainer, while 21.5 per cent mentioned men's wear. Other categories mentioned as leading sales boos ters this Christmas: appliances, home furnishings, toys, children's wear, accessories, shoes. As in previous years, merchants will again turn to the daily news paper as their basic Christmas advertising medium. More than half the retailers surveyed 53.9 per cent to be exact will put nine-tenths of their media ad budgets in newspapers and an other 23.8 per cent will put 80-89 per cent of their ad dollars in newspaper advertising.

Kennedy lakes the oath of office 10 weeks from today. The problems are serious enough to give even a young and confident man pause. His plans for meeting them may be ham pered by his lack of a strong majority ln the popular vote and by the prospects of a conserva tive coalition slill carrying great and perhaps decisive weight in the Congress.
