Department-store sales for the second week in July jumped 2% over the same week last year, and store buyers predicted that autumn sales will increase slightly. Yet, despite the heavy spending, the Department of Commerce reported that personal savings rose to $5 billion in the first three months of 1956, the highest since the Korean war and $1.7 billion over the last quarter...
