Trading Stamp Industry Regains Lost Business
New York AP reports the trading stamp industry shows a partial recovery from a 1960s slump but unlikely to return to former peak activity. Growth since 1955 rose from about 200 million to 776 million in 1968, yet 1967 saw a sales drop due to boycotts. experts foresee further declines as stores lose stamp relevance amid inflation and shifting retail dynamics.
