Mass production has inde mass distribution necessary.” The pioneer chain store aystem, with 40,000 stores, opens an ave ige of 1,000 new stores year The first five and ten cent chain s extended its activitics to Cana Cuba, Great Britain and Ger- One chain drug store, which entally has gone into manu- acturing to supply its own nee 1s said to serve one-quarter of all | the people of the United States and fair percentage of the population N Britain.

In this so-called “necessity” lines, such as drugs, meats and grocerics, it is estimated that the chain storcs, numbering ihout ten per cent of the total in e tield, do ten to twenty per cent of the total husiness.

Just why this rather soft metal produces such a hard sur- face has not been determined, but some experts are inclined to be- licve that the chewmical action of the plating process serves to de- posit it from s ion as a hiydride, While tests have shown magne- site to be superior for lining & furnaces, the degree of differenc 13 slight and the economic reasons provide the only apparent explana- tion for the use of chromite.

In the meantige, the cost of chromite, Thaving declined trom high war prices, is now $22 10 $24 a ton, as comparcd with about §$15 before the war. County and City Debt In Kansas Increases ¥ Feh, .
