HARDWARE SALE |
GAIN PREDICTED
Association Head Predicts $25,000,000 Retail Volume in State in 1940.
A gain of 25 per cent in the state’s hardware sales this year was pre-
~ dicted by Carl A. Miller, Kendall-
ville, president of the Indiana Retail Hardware Association, today as the association opened its annual fouroday convention at Murat Temple. The approximately 1000 retail hdrdware , stores’ sales last year amounted to nearly $20,000,000, and should reach $25,000,000 this year, he said. Last year's business represented a gain of nearly 25 per cent
, over 1938.
Among the reasons listed by Mr. Miller for the expected ‘gains this
year are sales of equipment and fur-
nishings resulting from new home construction, under the FHA program, and the increasing number of electrified homes under the REA ° program. While this increase in business will not result in more added employment ‘in hardware stores, Mr. Miller said, it will directly affect the numerous hardware manufacturing firms in the state. More than 1500 were expected to attend the convention sessions, which opened with the presidents luncheon at the Murat. Dr. Allen A. Stockdale, New York City, was to speak on “The Future of America” this afternoon. .A dance is to be given at the Hotel Lincoln tonight. Tomorrow’s program will include a luncheon. Among the speakers will be D. Wray DePrez, Shelbyville; Philip K. McDowell, credit manager of Hibben-Hollweg & Co., Indianapolis, and G. D. Munger, Washington, REA utilization division manager. An exposition of hardware articles is being held in connection with the convention.
$11,000 FOX PELT SETS NEW RECORD
NEW YORK, Jan. 30 (U. P.).— The highest price for a single skin in the history of the fur industry was set here when I. J. Fox, retail furrier, paid $11,000 for a Norwegian platina fox pelt. Offered at the Lampson, Fraser & Huth auction, the record fur was the feature of a 400-lot block placed on sale for the account of the Norwegian Platina Fox Breeders Association of Oslo. It was the largest platina fox offering on record.

CENTRAL BUS ROUTE WILL BE REVERSED;
The Central-Keystone bus, serving the area bounded by Central and Keystone Aves. and 46th and 52d
Sts., will reverse its route loop starting Sunday and afford area residents more time’ to get downtown. The arrangement was completed last night at a meeting of the BelRose Civic League which was attended by Evan B. Walker, Indianapolis Railways representative. The bus now follows Central, turns east at 46th, north on Keystone and back to Central on 52d. When the route is reversed most of the residents served by the bus will be able to board it on its way toward town, thus saving time. Reports also were made at the meeting on petitions before the City Council on a community house, a fire station and a public library for the community.

[FOURTH OF HOLE LOANS ARE PAID
State’s Average Is Considerably Above Nation’s, Says. - Indiana Head.

repaid, Robert M. Collier, State manager, announced today.
Indiana’s record of repayments is

“More than 36,730 Indiana families, refinanced by the HOLC when
| they faced the loss of their homes
through foreclosure a few years ago,” he said, “today are clearly on their way to. debt-free home owner-

3605 Pay Off in Full
Of these, 3605 have paid in $7,450,254 to cross oft their debts in full. “Some 33,131 others ‘either are entirely current, less than three months in arrears or-are meeting all current bills and, in addition, making regular monthly payments to liquidate their arrearages,” he added. “Still 5648 others are making adjusted payments sufficient to keep their accounts active and we expect the great majority to rehabilitate themselves. “Considering that the average borrower was two years delinquent in both principal and interest and between two and three years. on taxes when he was refinanced, the record proves that what most of our borrowers needed was only a fair chance to overcome the hardships the depression forced upon them.”
HOLC Owns 2031 Homes
The HOLC now owns, he said, through voluntary deeds or abandonment, 2031 homes in Indiana, and has sold 3096. were sold for $8,035,657, or about $2,591,000 below their book value. These losses, together with the selling costs, are met through the spread between the interest the HOLC receives on its loans and the lower interest it must pay on its bonds. 7
