SURPLUS STORES
FLOWING BACK TO PUBLIC (Rec. 11.50 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 3. The man who organised supply stores and equipment for the Eighth Army, Sir Wilfred Lindsell, is now busy on the job making services’ surplus goods flow as swiftly as possible in the other direction —from the Army back to manufacturers, who made goods for disposal through wholesalers and retailers to the public. Sir Wilfred Lindsell said that Britain had decided on this system of redistribution in order to prevent the development of market corners which exploited sales of surplus military stores after the first World War. He said he aimed at clearing by the end of 1946 150,000,000 square feet of factory space at present filled with surplus goods.
