Greatest increases were reported in the south Atlantic states, the Pacific northwest, California, the Chicago and Little Rock, Ark., areas. Only a few sections reported normal Easter trade and Pittsburgh was the only city reporting the possibility of a drop in Easter sales.
Prosperous war workers, crowded war industry centers and generally well-filled pursues have swollen Easter buying sales to as much as 65 per cent over last year's figures, a nationwide survey by International News Service showed today. ent buying it said the unwritten by
Little Rock is experiencing an alltime high in Easter retail trade. A survey of department stores showed that trade was up 65 percent over 1942.
The increase in Seattle's war worker population has brought a constant rise in business throughout the spring season and Easter business is about 25 percent above normal.
For the four weeks ending April 10, Atlanta reported an increase of 15 percent over 1942 and the district as a whole was up 12 percent. Ample Stocks In Chicago
Atlanta sales were running far ahead of last year. Federal Reserve figures for the week ending April 10 showed Atlanta up 48 percent over the same week last year; Miami up 33 percent, and the entire sixth Federal Reserve district showed an increase of 35 percent. This comparison, however, included the post-Easter slump in 1942 as Easter fell on April 5.
Chicago trade has increased 25 percent over Easter buying in 1942. the State Street council, association of department stores, reported. Present buying, it said, "is prompted by largely increased buying power and the lateness of Easter." Store stocks in the area are ample, though the variety is not as large as in previous seasons.
Easter business in Indianapolis is about 20 percent above last year. The buyers' panic three months ago brought on by fear of additional rationing, boosted sales as high as 70 percent.
Panic Buying Contributes
Panic buying, which boosted February business 59 percent over the same month in 1942 in Denver, has subsided, the Denver Retail Merchants Bureau said, but Easter business is about 24 percent over last year. This seems to be true for the whole Rocky Mountain region, the Bureau said.
Pre-Easter sales for the week ended April 10 in New York were 8 percent above the same Pre-Easter week in 1942, and 18 percent above those for the week ending April 11 last year. Sales for the entire four week period ended April 10 showed a 4 percent drop from last year.
Pittsburgh reported that sales were running slightly better than last year after a March slump, but that merchants estimated that pre-Easter sales would be about the same or slightly less than last year. No Run In Philadelphia
Harrisburg reported slightly better trade than last year, due to increased money available in the area.
