...Egbert halted Studebaker's production lines for retooling in June-one month earlier than usual. Says Egbert: "A year ago at this time we had zero cars, but so far this model year we've shipped 7,200 to our dealers." Egbert, who is an enthusiastic amateur flyer, is also winging around the U.S. to pep up Studebaker dealers and keep more of them from switching to competitors. With only 2,000 dealers-v.

Electronic Cheer. Rich's department store in Atlanta sent children monorail riding on ''the Pink Pig Flyer,'' also boasted the city's largest (65 ft.) Christmas tree, a northern white pine imported from South Carolina. The Atlanta Constitution reported that "edible ornaments are being revived''; there was hardly a tree trimmer around without a couple of gross of chocolate snowmen tucked away in reserve in hopes of having one or two unchewed examples left by Christmas...
