Reaction to War Time Economy Seen Across Nation

Reports to government agencies after the armistice show war era thrift fading as consumers rush back to prewar buying. Retail sales rise, wealthier classes spend, wholesale firms adjust to retailer demand, and building activity revives with new road and bridge projects planned. Officials foresee about eight billion dollars needed for next year’s war bonds.
