Addressing members of the Akron Merchants Association ami Akron Credit Bureau at a luncheon Thursday at the Portage Hotel, Dakins cited the major movement of people to the outskirts as the principal reason for the rise in outlying stores.

The fact that big cities are be- Operation of the bram-lies is economical, too, the merchants were told. Shopping by phone is another development in retailing. "Maybe people are getting plain lazy but they are helping to change the retail pattern of the country," the speaker declared. Sears, Pvoehuek Co. attributes a large part of its postwar growth to the rise in phone orders, Dakins added.

only 39 inches high and 16 feet loner. It's a car you'll never pet a chance to buy even if you had the money and it would take a lot of that. As for cost, Charles A. Chayne, vie president in rharge of GM engineering, assured the engineers that the corporation readly didn't know what it a. "We realized at the start it was going to be a costly experiment so we had a gentleman's agreement not to keep track of it." he said.

Nevertheless, the Buick XP-300 has been insured for a million dollars. GM STVLIST8 and Buick built the first of these laboratories on wheels in 1938. Many of the features of the Job," as it is known, are found on present models. When it came time to start the V's successor, the stylists and engineers had so many innovations they wanted to test that it was quickly apparent one experimental car couldn't hold them all, Chayne explained. That's when it was agreed to build two the LeSabre which was shown here last Summer, and now the Buick XP-300.

CHAYNE designed the revolutionary 300 horsepower engines they develop 335 horsepower that had to fit into the 18 inches of space allowed for the power plant. The V-8 engine with its supercharger Is made of light alloys and weighs only 55(1 pounds. This Is 250 pounds less than Hoick's big Eoadniaster, hut it develops more than twice the power. The engineering boss worked out a system of two carburetors. One burns premium gasoline, the second alcohol.

The alcohol cuts in automatically when the gas carburetor is at 40 per cent throttle. HOW FAST will the XP-300 go? Estimated speed is 150 miles an hour. Chayne. has had it up to 128 and the throttle was far from open, he says. Extra-wide brake drums provide room for a double set of brake shoes cooled by forced air.

The steering wheel is adjustable in or out along the shaft. The two seats can be individually raised or lowered as well as moved forward or back by a push-button mechanism. Hydraulic built-in jacks operated from the instrument panel lift the car for tire change before leaving the seat. The tires, incidentally, are in size and are of six-ply construction. CHAYNE is really an "engineer's engineer," John L.

Collyer, B. F. Goodrich Co. president, said in presenting the GM executive. "He has a home attached to his garage which holds 17 cars 14 of them antiques, and they all run," Collver added.
