ELECTRICAL GOODS
Demand Undiminished for
All Types—New Peak
in 1937 Foreseen,
Bnci«I Dispatch to Tha Star.
NEW YORK, December 31.—Going
ahead at a faster rate than many
other industries, the electrical supply
trade at the close of the third year of
constant progress is confronted with a
rapidly widening use for its products as
1937 is entered, according to a survey
by Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.
“In spite of the new peaks estab
lished during 1936 by sales of refriger
ators, ironers, washers and electric out
put their extension next year is fore
seen. Plans for new building work
have been set to a higher objective,
rural electrification is expected to
make more headway and Industrial re
quirements will be more numerous as
operating rates expand.
"Wholesale distribution for the first
10 months of 1936 was at a six-year
high, having advanced 30 to 55 per
cent from the corresponding 1935
shoeing. Conservative estimates now
place wholesale sales for the entire
year at 40 per cent more than in 1935,
when the Bureau of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce reported $16,287,000,
000. This would lift the 1936 total
to $22,801,000,000 for the wholesale
distribution of electrical goods, includ
ing electrical appliances, radios and
refrigerators. It would mark the third
successive annual increase, after four
years of decline.
“Utilities have prepared expansion
programs for 1937, several major sys
tems planning to spend 30 to 100 per
cent more than this year, when around
$300,000,000 was expended. Prices,
which started to rise in September,
have prevented*the margin of profit
from being commensurate with the rise
in sales, and have hampered manu
facturers in setting quotations on first
quarter deliveries. Collections have
been good.'*

Brentano Profits
Expected to Show
Large 1937 Gain
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 21—Esti
mates of an increase of 50 per cent
in the profits of Brentano's Book
Stores. Inc., for 1937, and the acquisi
tion of the firm of Jacobs Si Co., oldest
book store in Philadelphia, were re
vealed today in an announcement
made by Stanton Griffis, chairman
of the board of the Brentano Corp.
Groat sales for the fiscal year end
ing May 31 amounted to $791,446 in
1934, $945,267 in 1935 and $1,100,967
in 1936; while net profits in 1936
amounted to $40,947, equal to $3.81
per share of class “A” stock.
The increase in earnings anticipated
by the company are due. Mr. Griffis
stated, to the recent decision of the
Supreme Court upholding the right
of manufacturers to determine and
maintain the sales price of their
products.
Price cutting, especially as it has
been done in the larger cities, has
been one of the most serious features
of the book trade. The Brentano
stores actually sold more editions of
"Gone With the Wind" in Washing
ton, where there was no price cut
ting between retail outlets, than they
did in New York City, where a price
cutting war raged on this item.
