Business inventories crept up $600 million during September to a record $78.7 billion, in spite of the efforts of retailers to trim their stocks.

So far, it is long on background stories, profiles and quiet features, put together in a trim eight-column, ten-page paper. But to find new readers Brittain will have to show some of the same journalistic flair that has made the Beaver's papers among the most successful and widely read in Britain...
