r Business Boom ingj In Bible Sales "We take the wate"" fh 'o people's doors and Practically force themr to drink it!" This is the resounding voiec 01 president J. B. Henderson of the Southwesterni Co. Nashnville, Tenn., and lie is referring ta the greatest phenomenon i1 the Anmerican book businless. The Holy Bible bas always been the largest-selling item in ttrade, buit no one has ever wilnessed axything like its cuitent perfor- mance. In a competitive business which treats its stttiea glardedly as the Atomic , eg Commission, an educated guLess "'miglit be that in 1940 there were 5 million Bibles sold in theý U.S., whereas last year that number had leapt ta a torrential 15 million."e But more signrifi- canit for the trade is the fact that whiile-- conservative bookstore Bible sellers last yeai' grossed1 Aomething like $20 mnillion, the relatively new, ramnpa geo usly aggressive door-to-doar branch ci the trade piled up a high take i the neighiborhood of $100 mi!- lion. For the most part they did it by selling $25-$84 Bibles on the instalîmnent plan to tlhie poor and the comfiortably off alik. Traditionally the South was known as the Bible Bell of the U.S., and the sales of Holy Scrip- ture bore out that description, It applies no) longer. Bible sellers generailly agree that their bur- geoning business is now a, coast- to-coast affair. How acecount for the boom! President William R. McCulley cf Thomas Nelson & Sons of New York emrph-iasizes population growth and a new iterest in religion, President, Ban D. Zevini of World Publish- lIng Co. in Cleveland stresses an increase in leisure time, rising economnic standards, and an in-. errease in llterecy, F. Ronald Mansbridge of the Camibridge University Press i struck by botht the new indus- trial growth and thecutim'f Califria, which seac. t hv ecnributed to Bible byn.H also ruefuilly observes: "Bible reading is strongast amnong fun- damentalists, evangeical's and Baptists, weakest in the more liberal denomînations, particu- Iarly in the Episcopal churches."' Walter T. Oakley, New Yorkz 'eles vice president of the Ox-. ,fbgId University Press, echoes other Bible salesmnen in th)eI opinion that New York City is_ oeaof the wvorst territoriesý. Missz Louise H. Wynhausean, general mainagar of Sheed &" Ward of New York, ane of the leading Catholic houses, also bas her disappointmtents: "The M idwest is the gravy train. BostLon is rathpr disappointing. New York Is So-So." But such mnelancholia js rare anmlng today's Bible sellers.' The- staple produt of prewar years ---the sober blac Bible--is still a staple, but other Bibles have put on à »Tosapl's coat of mrany colors. Prices range front less than a dollar to around $300, Formats and type faces are legion, fromn good simple reading Bibles ta such exquisite proclucts of the designers art as t'he $300 Iimî.ted edition of the late typa- grapher Bruce _Roger,, (sold by the Oxford Pressaiand inow on a rasarved list). Most of the larger büokstore selling hue offer at Ileast 75 types oDf Bible. --From NEWSWVEEK.
