New York financier Sargent Jr forecasts 1955 Pennsylvania toy sales total about 62.1 million dollars with Christmas season accounting for roughly 61 percent of the year's buy. He notes retailers expect about 37.881 million in Christmas toy purchases statewide. He is vice president of William Iselin and Company, a factor in toy manufacturer credits.
Sargent estimates focus on production and selling other profitable activities. He cites toy sales for children under 18 and notes the over 15 bracket will drive hundreds of thousands of dollars in volume. Pennsylvania children are among the luckiest with per capita toy sales around 20.80 dollars, eleventh highest in the nation. This Christmas promises joy for Pennsylvania kids.
Sargent recalls a city chase as a new police unit formed by six women officers, led by Mildred Jones, aimed at downtown parking enforcement. A four-block pursuit ended with arrival of a scout car and two officers, arrest following. Judge Mike Foster fined the offender twelve dollars.
