Valentine's Day means surge for local businesses
By DENNIS DOWDY
Staff Writer .
Cream-filled chocolates flown in from Belgium. An
assortment of red, pink and white roses. Laser-etched
and jigsaw puzzle cards.
These are just a few of the Valentine's Day items on
sale in Chapel Hill this year. According to local pro
prietors and national manufacturers,, sales of Valentine's
Day merchandise is up by as much as 12 percent.
This year the card industry projects that more than 9
million Valentine's Day cards will be exchanged, two
thirds by children. "Valentine's Day is the No. 2 card
sending occasion in the United States," said Barbara
Miller, marketing communications specialist for
TBirmark Cards irTKansas City, Mo. "However, there's
usually more individual card selection at Valentine's Day
than at Christmas time, where most cards are bought by
the box," she added.
Hallmark is marketing a selection of more than 1,800
different types of cards, the most of any company in the
industry. The cards feature a variety of settings, ranging
from serious and romantic to humorous and friendly.
A number of new styles of cards has generated public
attention nationwide. One of the most unusual types is
the laser-engraved card. A laser beam forms a lacy
design on the paper, almost like an antique Valentine.
Activity cards, aimed at the 20- to 40-year-old au
dience, offer a variety of games for the recipient, such as

the jigsaw puzzle cards sent in pieces for the receiver to
put together.
Hallmark also has introduced cards captioned to
"Dad and his wife" and "Mom and her husband." "We
realized that no such card existed before, and with
divorce so common now, we felt it was about time,"
Miller said.
Prices for Hallmark cards range from 35 cents for a
personalized blank card to $5 for a colossal 24-inch tall
card. The greeting card industry anticipates earning
slightly more than $7 billion this year in overall sales,
with a 5 percent gain in Valentine sales.
Business is also on the upswing for candy manufac
turers. Although retail prices have risen slightly because
of problems in getting raw materials, candy companies
still expect an increase in sales of 10 percent to 12 per
cent. Bert Nelson, vice-president of marketing, plan
ning, and control for E.J. Brach & Sons in Chicago,
said, "We have not released any new products national
ly, but we are test-marketing new conversation hearts
this year and plan to go national with them next year.
We also have a new line of solid chocolates in a try
packet with 'I Love You' on them that are selling very
well."
In Chapel Hill, merchants are reporting an increase in
sales over last year. A Southern Season, located in
Eastgate Mall, offers a variety of chocolates to choose
from, including cream-filled, chocolates from Belgium,
bittersweet hearts from Drbste of Holland and' the

store's own brand of chocolate cordials.
"Normally we have all these chocolates all season
round, but the packaging is different," said Madonna
Ventz, one of the managers of the store. Prices now are
lower than usual for the chocolates they purchase from
suppliers, and shipping costs have been reduced, Ventz
said. "Right now, we have six specific gift items that
have special half-price shipping charges," Ventz said.
Prices for chocolates at A Southern Season range from
$3.95 to $15. -
Roses are by far the most expensive traditional Valen
tine's Day gifts, going as high as $100 for a dozen in
some Northeastern states. Prices usually take a jump just
before Valentine's Day, but according to Charles House,
owner of University Florists in Chapel Hill, North
Carolina prices are "running true to form."
"We're sticking with the same price as last year, $45
for a dozen," House said. Although he could not
estimate how much sales have increased, he said they
were definitely up over last year. House added that
University Florists also was offering less-expensive bou
quets. "We have sweetheart roses, which are smaller
than the long-stem roses, for $25 for a dozen. We also
have a selection of pink and white roses for $35 per
dozen."
Giving candy, flowers and cards on Valentine's Day
has been popular for generations, but they are relatively
hew elements in the long history of the holiday.

are saying things,!' Mondale said, ex
hibiting a boys-will-be-boys attitude Up
ward the other seven maior contenders.
North Carolina economists say 1584
will be a year to sit back and enjoy, but
they say the enjoyment may end in 1985.
"One can probably feel the greatest
sense of confidence in some time about
the economic prospects for 1984," said
John G. Medlin Jr., president of
Wachovia Bank and Trust Co.
"However, celebration and relaxation
are premature," he said. "The major
problems of the economy in recent years
have not been solved, only temporarily
moderated and obscured.' '
Medlin and other business leaders
believe that inflation will be low in 1984,
unemployment in. the state will continue
to decline and retail sales will continue to
be strong.
It may be February, but across North
Carolina this weekend the unseasonably
warm temperatures made just about
everyone think of spring.
Afternoon temperatures Saturday and
Sunday hit the high 60s and low 70s,
bringing bikini-clad sunbathers to apart
ment complex pools and beaches along
the coast.
"The beaches are full of people," a
Wrightsville Beach police spokesman
said. "It gets overcast a bit, but the sun
comes out and clears it up right away."
