...August. But the trend to bigger, more expensive units has sharply reduced impulse buying. Government agencies also have boosted non-seasonal equipment sales. For example, the Federal Housing Administration recently approved inclusion of central air-conditioning in basic home-mortgage loans. The Internal Revenue Service permits sufferers from hay fever, asthma and heart disease to deduct the cost of cool comfort on their tax returns...
...piano has its anxious note. Some 50 winters have weathered Cagney hard, and he begins to wonder if his filly won't "stray off" when the "grass . . . gets a little too thin around here."
