The survey will be one of the most complete investigations of its kind ever carried on in the marke! fleld of the National Capital, and the results are awaited by leaders of the city's three civic and business organizations with much interest.

These groups are: Jewelry, dry goods, men's clothing, men’s furnishing, ladies’ clothing, shoes, groceries and hardware. ‘The survey may be expanded to include automobile parts. ‘This survey is entirely original, and does not duplicate any effort that has been expended in this direction.
