W. Martin, Dis trict Manager, U. S. Department of Commerce, Charleston, S. C. All phases of the impact of war on small business — manufactur ing, wholesaling, retailing and service establishments — are dis cussed in an over-all picture, with graphic illustrations and statisti cal tables projecting the picture into 1943. The pressures and squeezes of a wartime economy on small retailers, by far the most numerous group, are treated ex haustively and impartially, to gether with constructive recom mendations designed to ease the burdens imposed by war on this highly important group. Senator James E. Murray of Montana, Chairman of the Senate Corhmittee on Small Business, in an introduction to the publication says in part: “In this monograph for the first time since Pearl Harbor the hard facts of retail business life in a wartime econonmy are sharp ly painted. This monograph pre sents sales forecasts for indivi dual trades. I hope that every retail trade will become well ac quainted with these figures. It also highlights the choices that face the Congress and the Gov ernment in developing policies toward retailing.” Many small and medium sized manufacturers have found ways and means of converting to war production, but few retailers have been able to do so. Some four- fifths of all retail establishments— scattered through the cities, towns, villages and rural districts from Maine to California and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico—consist of small stores and more than 40 per cent of these are in lines of trade expect ed to decline as the war program expands. The logical effects of war on this large segment of our national economy, which in a very real sense exemplifies the American system of competitive private en terprise, are a mater of concern to every thoughtful citizen. The monograph was prepared with a view to presenting an accurate and Triple Tiered Pattern No. 8289—Look right this way for the latest star in the junior fashion heavens—the triple tiered skirt! Plenty swish it is too, on this lively young dirndl frock with its super-smooth long torso top! This is a prize de sign for velveteen with lace trim, or checked taffeta with ribbon. Pattern No. 8289 is deigned for sizes 11, 13, 15, 17, 19. Size 13, short sleeves, takes 3 1-2 yards 39-inch material, 9 yards trim ming.
