RETAIL SALES
CONTINUE T 0
SHOW UPTREND
Wholesale Mart Is
Slow, Holiday And
Warmer Weather
Are Cause
NEW YORK. July 8 —fffV-Retall
distribution showed some gain dur
ing the past week, said Dun &
Bradstreet Friday in their weekly
summary of business conditions.
In wholesale markets and In most
lines of industry business was slow
because of seasonal factors and the
holiday. Regarding the major pro
ducing lines, the summary com
mented that 'although the reces
sion in many cases was less than
seasonal, nearly all of the lines
that charted the course of the
leading industrial indices either
flattened out or turned downward."
"The improvement in retail sales
which began during the last ten
days of June was extended rapid
ly during the week, due to the
wanner weather prevailing in most
parts of the country and the most
elaborate preparations for celebra
tion of Independence Day that
have been made In years.
“In spite of the record-breaking
heat wave which prevailed a year
ago, the Improvement over the good
showing of retail sales for that
period ranged from 8 to 25 per
cent. . ,
•Warm weather and special pre
holiday promotions were sufficient
to overcome seasonal retardative
influences in the southwest as re
tail sales were up from 8 to 12
per cent from the week preceding,
and 20 to 30 per cent in excess of
the corresponding 1934 total."
Reviewing the results for the
first half of the year, the summary
said there were moderate gains in
many directions "in the face if nu
merous retardative factors and
that there has been "a gradual but
Irregular uptrend In pacticaily al1
major Duet."

WESLACO. July 5.—Deciding to
hold out for the set price of $200 per

v.ith renewed determination, the Rio

A telegram from Lindsay. Okla., to
the Gilliam firm told of reports that
the Valley would produce 700 cars
of broomcorn, most optimistic esti
mates set the crop in this section at
not higher than 200, many thinking
that 170 will be the top figure it was
stated. A short crop this year should
brlhg a good price to all growers.
Provisions have been made in
McAllen for broomcorn storing and
holding, but a few details regarding
the plant at San Benito had to be
worked out at the meeting. Gilliam
Bros , announced thst & shed was

Cheese Must Be Served
By Strange New Statute
<-A*0 H*ET«v\
to gft a Piece of\
cwmt we «?t ** «• >
TM HECK1 /
Assemblyman James Sweeney off Green Bay, Wis., who believe* the
cheese industry is a treat institution, poshed a bill through the
Wisconsin legislature making it mandatory for restaurants to serve
two-thirds of an ounce of cheese with everv 25-cent meal.
BY JULIUS C. EDELSTEIN
Central Press Correspondent
MADISON. Wis. June 27. —
‘ Your cheese, sir."
“I don’t like cheese."
"Sorry, sir. It's the state law."
Such a dialogue will take place
in many a Wisconsin restaurant
and eating place for the next few
months until citizens become ac
customed to being served with
cheese at each and every meal.
Free!
The Wisconsin state legislature
took a liking to the proposal of
Assemblyman James Sweeney that
It be made mandatory for all res
taurants to serve two-thirds of an
ounce of cheese with every 25-cent
meal or better. The assembly pass
ed it. The state senate passed It,
tacking on an addition that two
thirds of an ounce of butter must
be served. Then to everyone’s sur
prise. Gov. Phillip La Fotlete sign
ed the bill.
Back of it all is the fact that
Wisconsin's dairy industry is its
leading enterprise. Wisconsn ranks
first in the nation in the produc
tion of cheese and butter. The
state annually appropriates money
for the promotion of cheese sales.
Helps Cheese Makers
The state produces annually close
to 400,000.000 pounds of cheese, of
which only about 10 per cent is
consumed within the state borders.
The new Sweeney law is estimated
by department of agriculture offi
cials, to mean the consumption of
three million additional pounds of
cheese.
i. Assemblyman Sweeney got his
idea while wintering in California,
where restaurants serve oranges
with every' meal. Now Wisconsin
will eat chbese...and like it.
Restauranteurs, who face a fine
or term in prison for violation of
the law, threaten to get even by
serving limberger and other "odi
iferous" cheeses.
Auto and Sales Tax
Replacing Property
Levies in States
CHICAGO. July 5. —OP)—Three j
down varieties of taxes, spread over!
rich and poor, corporations and
“little fellows," gamblers and mis
ers. supply revenue to the nation s
state governments.
With all the different kinds of
taxes, however, there are few state
“freaks" or nuisance levies, reports
from 44 states showed Friday.
Taxes as a whole fall into a hand
ful of general categories, property,
automobiles and gasoline, sales, li
quor. inheritance, incomes, luxur
ies and business transactions. But
the diversification in types of taxes
are many with adjoining states fre
quently taxing the same thing in
different manners.
The property tax. one of the old-1
est forms of assessment, is still
widely used, although a trend away
from it is seen in attempts to find
replacements.
Since the advent of the automo- i
bile, it has become a steadily in- ]
creasing source of state revenue
First came property taxes on cars,
then registration charges, and dur
ing the last 15 years, the mightiest
of all vehicle levies, the gasoline
tax.
From an experiment in 1919. the
fuel levy has grown until today it is
used in every' state and supplies an
estimated 38 per cent of the states
direct tax revenue.
Resembling the gas tax in its
growth to popularity, the sales tax
is used in many states. Forms of
this levy vary greatly. The prin
cipal ones are the gross sales tax.
paid by the retailer, and the retail
sales tax. commonly passed on to
the consumer.
Governments collect special taxes
on cigarets and tobacco, butter
substitutes, malt extract and other
specific articles.
Linuor and beverage taxes are not
new, and since national repeal,
nearly all states where liquor is sold
now realize something in the way of
taxes.

OFF BRANDS, WHY?
Many of our new customers complained that in some grocery stores they were importuned to buy “off brands
instead of the standard and nationally known merchandise they demanded, and asked, why? The explanation
is simple — standard and nationally known brands are sold to dealers at regular set prices while the off brand
stuff, often sometimes of doubtful quality, can frequently be picked up at such low prices that the dealer can
double his money. Temptation there? We’ll say there is, but Jitney Jungle Stores will have none of it. We stick
to quality foods and feature nationally known, standard brands, particularly those that have been accepted by
the American Medical Association and approved by “Good Housekeeping” Institute. We cannot afford to take the
risk of passing on to our customers “off brands” of unknown lineage, and uncertain quality.
