Koth Ford and General Motors had restyled cars to push when the year dawned last fall and everybody expected a battle for supremacy. It never materialized partly because a month-lonstrike against Ford delayed its cars from reaching dealer showrooms and because car buyers decided they liked both companies' offerings.

He said the mall must continue to accelerate in its promotional activities, must provide the consumer with consistantly good service and professional merchandising, must continue as a body of merchants unified in its priorities by building and improving the mall image, and must overcome some of the difficulties the mall has experienced and replace them with positive ideas. Bob Cann, advertising and promotion director for the mall, followed, stating that 44 different malL productions were displayed during the year. He said promotional highlights included an antique fire engine show, the Old World Renaissance Crafts Fair, the Bill Anderson Country Music Spectacular, Mall Auction Days, and Santa's arrival.
