CHICAGO CHAPTER NEWS 123 Inflation and increasing population explain half of the rise, so that the turnover today is about double per capita of that in 1941, but still it is as low as DK. 20.00 a year. 1941 ...... 23.6 1942 ...... 33.6 1943 ...... 40.8 1944 ...... 54.4 1945 ...... 58.4 1946 ...... 49.6 Million DanishKroner (7Kroner = $1.00 approx.) 1947 ...... 54.8 1953 ...... 71.6 1948 ...... 54.8 1954 ...... 77.2 1949 ...... 49.6 1955 ...... 82.8 1950 ...... 56.8 1956 ...... 90.0 (notexact) 1951 ...... 53.2 1957 ...... 96.2 1952 ...... 61.6 The products sold in Denmark are for the greater part manufactured here under foreign trade names, while a few are pure Danish with only a little being imported. The number of cosmetic producers (including importers, drug stores and beauty shops manufacturing on a small scale) was in 1944, 450 and re- cently 350. The loss is explained by certain circumstances during the war. The approaching elimination of tariff walls in Europe will probably result in a strangling of the smaller manufacturers. The evolution has already been seen in the Danish soap industry. The reason for the tendency towards internationalization of the market and elimination of purely national industries can be found in the lack of national proudness in the people of the smaller countries. Against what could be expected, the Danish pharmaceutical industry has not been able to give inspiration to the cosmetic industry. The only Danish innovation in cosmetics, the emulsified lipstick, was created by an autodidakt. No great news can be expected from the Danish cosmetic industry, not because of a lack of ability among the chemists, but because of the small economic power for research as well as for advertising of Danish firms.
