BUSINESS ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 5, 1 989 7C Retail Sales Autos Lift August Retail Sales ANDREW LECKEY Monthly percent change, adjusted for seasonal and trading day differences. 2.0 SUCCESSFUL INVESTING Buying On Fundamentals CariVIinimize The Worry rl If a IIHOQ 1 Up 0.7 i i i i i i i i i i i 1989, Reuters News Service WASHINGTON A jump in automobile sales pushed up retail sales by 0.7 percent in August, the Commerce Department said Thursday, pointing toward moderate economic growth. The rise in auto sales, propelled by Detroit's financing incentives, was the largest in 19 months. Building materials sales, boosted by a summer rebound in the housing industry, also rose sharply.

The department estimated retailers in August had a seasonally adjusted $144.3 billion in sales, compared with $143.3 billion in July. But excluding the volatile automobile sector, retail sales rose only 0.2 percent, reflecting the moderate underlying tone of consumer spending. Auto sales may not help much in September to fuel growth. The Detroit automakers said Wednesday that sales fell 2.8 percent in the first 10 move lower, but there's no reason to do anything now," Ratajczak said. Other economic reports, such as robust employment growth last month, showed the expansion was on course for the "soft landing" scenario of slow growth and subdued inflation sought by the Fed.

A more complete economic picture will be drawn by Friday when the wholesale price, industrial production, and trade reports are released. Retail sales gains were led by autos, which jumped 2.6 percent, building on a 1.7 percent gain in the prior month. Building materials sales also increased 2.2 percent, reversing an 0.2 percent fall in July. Clothing and drug stores sales rose during the month, although department and grocery stores registered a decline. Gas station sales also fell by a sharp 1.5 percent, reflecting lower gasoline prices.

(AP) A Kansas City company that operates 22 nursing homes in five states filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Wednesday, listing $92 million in debts and 1,600 unsecured creditors. First Humanics which employs about 2,700 people, said in documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Kansas City that the Chapter 11 filing was designed to avert foreclosure actions.

Among the creditors threatening foreclose was South Side National Bank of St. Louis, which is trustee for bondholders who financed a nursing home in Racine, Wis. First Humanics, a non-profit organization, said it had defaulted on interest and other payments totaling more than $80 million. That debt was accumulated in the company's acquisition of nursing homes and health-care centers in Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. The company does not operate nursing homes in Missouri.

None of its 14 Illinois homes are in the Metro East area.

As foiks-warily anticipate an overduestock market correction or fret abdut the possibility of recession, each day's government data supplies potential trauma. The solution for investors is to find companies and stocks likely to excel Whether the economy is up or dowr.

That, of course, is a task easier said than done. "Recession-resistant stocks have done well to 1989, and, while some may slip back, there are still opportunities said Louis Navallier, editor of the MPT Review newsletter, P.O.

"Look' for consistency of performance inall economic environments," advjsed Walden.

"While the stock market has a more stable two years ago, it's still at a high level and may take a dip." Navallier, his model portfolio up 30 percent this year, says the following stocks are likely to do well, no matter what the economy does: United Telecom (NYSE). Telecommunications keeps growing, and this parent company of U.S. Sprinf keeps capturing market share. The stock, up 85 percent in value this year, remains reasonably priced. The current price is 13.7 times this year's earnings and only six times next year's earnings, Ross Stores (OTC).

He tried to get the company to give more money to charity in a one-time lump sum than it originally had been required to give when it went for-profit. While the suit was unsuccessful, another one may be filed.

FHP stock, riskier than the other choices, is up 236 percent this year. PE is 22, or 16 times next year's earnings. Walden, whose new book is published by Chicago-based Longman Financial Services Publishing, offers these steady picks: Kellogg Co. (NYSE). Everybody's got to eat.

This packaged-food company, which has had 37 consecutive years of record earnings, may be the best bet to shrug off recession. While a PE of 19 seems high, it's not overpriced historically. Anheuser-Busch Cos. (NYSE). A recession won't make people stop drinking beer.

Anheuser-Busch holds 43 percent of the market. The company has had 12 consecutive years of earnings gains, and should benefit from an industry shakeout. PE of 16 is a little high, but so are those of many others. Abbott Labs (NYSE).

It also owns pieces of CNA Financial and CBS Inc. Its PE is 9. Tribune Media Services Inc. The eight employees include Bill Shewman, Scott Meyer and Bob Zeitinger. Shewman said the new company also bought some office furniture from Boatmen's.

Another company emerging from the ashes of Aragon expects to open Oct. 2. Four former employees of Media Solutions, a media buying company, have started a new firm called Dicom Inc. Gary Emmer, former president of Media Solutions, said his group had the financial backing it needed and was looking at office space. Emmer's partners are Athalia Howell, John McGuigan and Dave Travers.

Felco has 6,000 cars and light trucks on lease throughout the country. In addition to its headquarters in St. Louis, the company has branches in Portland, Seattle; Tucson, Omaha, and Boise, Idaho.

Pumped-Up Reebok Sneakers To Sell For Sky-High $170 CANTON, Mass.

(AP) Reebok International is hoping that customers will get all pumped up about their new sneakers the shoes can be inflated with air. The new sneakers have built-in pumps and will sell for 1 70 a pair. "The wearer will be able to inflate the shoe using a pump on the tongue of the shoe, making it fit round the wearer's foot perfectly," Reebok said. "Before removing the shoe, the wearer must release the air, using a special valve on the heel." Kate Burnham, spokeswoman for Reebok, said air can be let out of the sneakers gradually, adjusting the fit if ankles swell during a game. "It creates a totally adjustable kind of shoe with support around the ankle," she said.

The sneakers, called "The Pump," are scheduled to go on sale in November. The first ones will be designed for basketball players, but less expensive versions will be offered next year. days of September. "On the face of it, we've got a slowdown in consumer spending," said Donald Ratajczak, director of forcast-ing at Georgia State University. Consumer spending accounts for two-thirds of economic activity.

But economists caution the monthly retail sales report can often be erratic. The department cut its estimate of July retail sales sharply to show only an 0.5 percent increase, instead of the 0.9 percent rise previously reported. "I'm not calling it a weak consumer report, but slightly weaker than expected," said economist Steven Gallagher at Kidder Peabody Co. Economists said the rise in retail sales showed consumer spending could still fuel moderate economic growth, but further weakness could prompt the Federal Reserve Board to eventually lower interest rates. "I still think the Fed is going to bled company to reorganize its debts free from the threat of lawsuits by creditors.

Company attorneys said they expected First Humanics to reach an agreement with the five banks that threatened foreclosure. First Humanics has assets of $68.4 million, according to court documents. The company's debts were listed at $92.3 million, of which about $86 million was secured. The company's 1,600 unsecured creditors are owed more than $6.4 million, court documents show. The bankruptcy filing was prompted by the threat of foreclosure on Westview Health Care Center in Racine, Wis.

It faces charges by state and federal officials that it provided inadequate care to patients. First Humanics bought the Wisconsin home in 1988 for $6.85 million. South Side National Bank, Bank One of Indianapolis and other banks threatened to foreclose on the Racine center unless First Humanics paid off its loans.

River City Television Partners announced in May that it had signed an agreement to buy KABB, an independent station started up about 20 months ago. River City is a unit of Atlantic Broadcasting.
