Henry H. Heimann of the National Association of Credit Men told Parkersburg Mari etta Credit Men that supply is catching up with demand and retailers should cut costs, strengthen sales forces, and reassess credit risks. He said avoid expansion for now and move to a younger base while suggesting voluntary price cuts where profits exist. He noted housing and auto sectors may take longer to reach a buyer’s market and argued fewer government controls on credit could help small business, opposing low interest rates.
