Sump pumps: emergency-sale staples

Article Abstract:

Sump pump sales are way up as a result of the Midwestern floods in the early part of 1997. At Ace Hardware sump pump sales are up 21% across the country. The 2 basic sump pumps are pedestal and submersible. Pedestal pumps are a little cheaper, but the motor sits on top of the unit and is not meant to be touched by water and is considered a little less safe. The submersible pump is built with the motor able to go entirely underwater. Sales of pumps powered by gas, and batteries have been big sellers.

Survey shows retailers going high-tech for loss prevention

Article Abstract:

Retailers are beginning to employ more advanced techniques in fighting inventory shrinkage, despite a new survey that says that shrinkage has remained relatively the same through much of the 1990s. The 1997 Retail Security Survey notes that retailers are increasingly investing in such technologies as closed circuit TV to solve the problems of loss prevention.
