Consensus: with the economy very definitely on the upbeat, U.S. retail sales in 1959 should post a banner year. Said one Washington discounter, who ordered $1,000,000 worth of goods and reports a 35% jump in sales for the first eight days of 1959: "Last year the buyers at the show were all just walking around looking, with long faces-this year they were all smiling...
