2The Daily Tar HeelMonday, February 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 Compare Our Incredibly Low Prices! yS (I Try our medium 12" Pizza with 7) 1 topping J If mm$ onlv 3.95 llm 10:00 - Win the use of a 1984 Dodge Classified Info Return ad and check or money order to the DTH office by noon the business day before your ad is to run.

"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.

"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."

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.
