give storeowners their best
December of the 1980s.
Preliminary reports to the
Retail Council of Canada
indicate sales were up at
least eight per cent last
month from a year earlier.
“After inflation in con
sumer goods is taken into
account, that works out to a
real increase of about five per
cent — the best this decade,”
said Alisdair McKichan, pres
ident of the Retail Council of
Canada. “The strength is
evident right across the
board, from both the high
and low ends of the market.”
Dylex Ltd., which owns a
stable of retailing outfits
including Suzy Shier, Tip
Top, Fairweather and Harry
Rosen, did even better.
“Sales maintained them
selves at between a nine-and
10-per-cent increase on a
store-for-store basis,” said
Dylex president Wilfred

annual rate of 21 per cent for balances. Visa
interest rates are around 18.5 per cent.

Some premier credit cards, such as those from Visa or
MasterCard, offer features that might interest people who
travel a lot. But note that premier cards carry an annual fee
of $60 to $90, while regular bank cards are free or carry
small transaction fees.

Premier cards generally allow you to buy traveller's
cheques without paying a commission. They also offer higher
spending limits — usually at least $5,000 — as well as «

Some premier cards also charge lower interest rates.
For example, the Bank of Nova Scotia premier Visa rate on
unpaid balances is 15 per cent.

which the interest rate is generally lower than @ typical

Christmas sales a
boon to retailers

Posluns. “That was about
what we expected or even a
little better.” The strength
was spread right across the
company’s more than 1,100
outlets in Canada, he said.
The Bay's sales in Dec-
ember improved 20 per cent
compared with the same
period a year ago.
Simpsons, also owned by
Hudson’s Bay, reported a
more modest, but still resp-
ectable, 11-per-cent increase
while a spokesman for the
Eaton department store
chain would only say the
company enjoyed a strong
growth in business.
COMPANY
REORGANIZED
The improvement is part-
icularly gratifying for Hud
son's Bay. It comes just one
year after the company re-
organized management and
marketing of its two depart-
ment store chains to focus
more energy on selling soft
goods such as fashion rather
than consumer durables.
The strategy appears to be
working, said George Kosich,
the Bay's executive vice-
president. He said he is now

waiting to see what effect the
increase in sales has on the
company’s annual results, to
be announced at the end of
this month. In 1984, the
company lost a whopping
$107.4 million.

A good Christmas sales
season can make all the
difference as the bulk of a
retailer's profits are earned
during the last three months
of the year, says Len Kubas,
a Toronto-based consultant.

This year, Hudson's Bay
and other retailers got a
helping hand from the im-
proving economy in western
Canada and the climate as
cold winter weather boosted
sales of coats, gloves and
scarves.

The former was particul-
arly important in aiding the
recovery of Woodward
Stores Ltd., the Vancouver-
based department store
chain with 25 outlets in
Alberta and British Colum-
bia.

“We had double-digit sales
increases this Christmas,”
said Woodward president
Frank Robertson.
