proved a bit. Other prominent gain
ers included Doehler Die Casting, Dow
Chemical, Aluminum Co. of America
and Great Northern Paper.
Sun Ray Drug, Agfa Ansco and
Gray Telephone Pay Station sold off
a point or so. Pan-American Air
ways, Pennroad and Cities Service
lowered small fractions.

APPAREL PROFITS
C JJNYEAR
Quality Goods in More De
mand as Buying Power
Improves.
breclal Dispatch to Tha Star
NEW YORK, January 11.—Due to
the broad advance of consumer pur
chasing power apparel manufacturers
in 1936 recorded the widest profit
gains since the inception of the re
covery movement, according to a new
study appearing in Poor's Industry
and Investment Surveys.
"The customer, as his income con
tinues to rise, buys quality products
in greater quantities and offers less
resistance to advancing prices, which
will be witnessed In most apparel lines
in 1937. At the same time advertis
ing, the industry’s essential avenue
of promotional efTort, should become
increasingly effective.
"As processors of raw textiles, most
apparel manufacturers experience
large inventory profits or losses, de
pending upon the movement of tex
tile prices,’’ the studv states. "At
the present stage of the business
cycle conditions are favorable to a
further rise in the general commodity
price level, and in some divisions
scarcity may force very sharp ad
vances. Of the four principal tex
tile raw material^ cellulose, the base
of most rayon processes, has main
tained a stable price position and
should continue to do so.
“Those manufacturers of men’s
shirts and underwear who maintained
their quality reputations will benefit
most for currently expanding sales.
The silk hosiery division faces a long
term declining trend owing to the
increased competition from rayon and
mercerized materials. This, however,
has been temporarily offset as a re
sult of rising consumer purchasing
power. Companies engaged In the
processing of fur are particularly well
situated to reap the benefit of luxury
demand.
"Improvement In retailing has been
general. The weaker units have been
eliminated. Buyers are increasing.
The United States Supreme Court’s
validation of fair trade laws suggests
j that eventually cut-throat competition
may be eliminated and retail prices
may be maintained.”
