NEW YORK, March 21.—This first the department stores filled with customers, is being utilized for an extensive nu‘y of mer- chandising problems by the retail dis- tributors. They are determined to raise efficiency and cut overhead. One of the chief questions they are studying today is what im makes customers turn to the right in a ma- Jority of cases when they leave an ele~ vator, a stairway, or an escalator. Al lowing the traffic of a M{ store, which has as definite trends as tiie movement of automobiles on Fifith avenue, to move all in one direction does not conduce to the proper presentation of goods, good service to customers, or to max-, imum sales. Information on Goods. ‘The merchants are striving vigorously to find something which will draw at least 50 per cent of the crowds to the left when they arrive on & certain floor. Many are ing to solve this problem by placing goods for which there is greatest call and which have been most extensively advertised where cus- tomers must turn to the left or go straight ahead to reach them. Every day merchants are learn more about the extraordinary ways o customers. They have discovered, ac- cording to a canvass of the drug store trade, that low prices are not the chief attraction to women buyers. This can- vass puts consideration fifth, behind cleanliness and attractive appearance, prompt, willing and friendly service, promptness of delivery and quality. Merchants are making available for women more information all the time as to the situation and quality of the goods | they buy.

BY KENNETH 8. VAN STRUM. NEW YORK, March 21.—After two years of declining business, the produc< tion of trucks began to increase rapidly during the latter half of 1028, until it | has reached a record peak for this sea- son of the year. Truck manufacturers had been ex- MARCH 21, |VAN SWERINGENS EXTENDING RAIL OPERATIONS INTO WEST tending credit too freely toward the end of 1926 and when a decline in general business set in, late in 1921, profits fell oft abruptly until the middle of 1928. Since that time the credit granting has been put on a firmer basis and domestic trade as well as Im‘l’}n trade, which accounts for a fourth L mand, have been steadily oving. About 88 per cent of the trucks duced today are of less than 2-ton ca- pacity. Formerly these light trucks ‘were built almost exclusively by pas- senger car makers, but in recent years the ucers of heavy trucks have en- tered this fleld. Truck building seems to require special knowledge and equip- ment quite different from CAr . 50 that a company specializing in trucks has an advantage over auto- | mobile compenies. Federal. Federal Motor Truck manufactures & complete line of high-grade trucks ranging from 1 to 7% tons. It has re- cently cut prices on its: entire line and has sdded a new moderate priced 15~ ton truck with all of the latest features. ‘The company has held its own very well in the truck field during the diffi- cult period just mn and since the mid- dle of 1928 earnings have been expand- ing rapidly. The improvement came too late, however, to help 1928 earnings very much. They were $1.10 a share, somewhat below the $1,75 average for Bi the past four years.

If the truck business could continue its present rate of expansion, Federal in 1929 could easily eamn better than the $1.75 which has been its am-g for the past four years. It should noted that the price of the stock fluctu- Aates over a relatively wide range, which indicates that it has been unwise to urchase immediately after it has en & sharp rise. ‘White. ‘White Motors, one of the oldest and largest manufacturers of high-grade trucks, has made considerable progress in both heavy and light truck flelds since & new management assumed con- r to 4 8.7 cen on earnings, it is obmmuly o increased returns in the fut: Mack.

NEW YORK, March 21.—The Van Sweringen brothers of Cleveland, who have made a decided lmfit-wn in the Eastern railroad world since they first bought control of the Nickel te & few years ago, are extending their oper- ations in the transportation fleld west of the uiulnlp&omv:r through the rchase of 175,000 shares of Missouri g:unc common and preferred stocks. This fact, which became known yes- terday, was startling news to raflroad executives and railroad bankers. It is presumed that the purchase has been made in the interest of the Alle- hany Corporation, which was formed fl: February, when fts securities, repre- senting &) tely $37,000,000, were is understood . that o e _proceeds have been put into Mis- souri Pacific stocks. Purpose Not Known. ‘Whether this purchase represents an investment by the Van Sweringens in & property which they.may- believe has great possibilities, or whether it is a bit of strategy in behalf of the Van Swerin- n lines east of the Mississippi or leverage against those who have been npfioflng them in their Eastern consoli- dation scheme, is not yet apparent. This is-the first time in some years that any large Eastern group of rail- road owners whose lines reach out to St Louis and Chicago have gone west of the Mississippl and entered a fleld with. problems quite different from those in their home territoty. The purchase of the Van Sweringens in the Missourl Pacific would naturally - en- title them to representation on the board of directors. This may be op- gmed if requested, as the relations be- ween them and the. bankers for the former Gould road are not believed -to be_especially friendly. their newly acquired interest in_ the uffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh Rail- road to the Baltimore & Ohio. At the same time they took over from that road and from the New York Central their interest in the Wheeling & Lake Erle. The purchase of the Missouri Pacific stock was apparently made in the open market and was not the result of negotiations with any one large stock holding interest. It, therefore, does not_raise the ticklish question involved in holding road and the incident should not come under the purview Commerce im .
