in those two cities.
The percapita average here is $685.

cago and $575 in Philadelphia, while
the three cities show $56.088, ,37S
and $32,831 respectively, for each retail
store, statistics show.
The backbone of Washington bust
ness, Mr.. Vile pointed out, is the huge
Government pay roll, which is almost
unaffected by the depression. He sale
47,374 classified civil service workers arc
paid $98. 435, 119 per year. or an average
of $2.078 per person, while 535 members
