some 10000 persons making their hv-

Total annual expenditures caused
directly and indirectly by the game are
around $4,000 900, representing en-
ployment for at least $4,000 persons.
Books describing systems OF bidding
and playing contract have been selling
recently at the rate of $4,000, 900 year.
For months bridge books, especially one
masters output have been far ahead
as the best sellers in the non-fiction
class. 1t is nothing for small book
store to sell as high as $50 worth OF
bridge books daily. The revenue OF two
bridge magazines alone is 100000 a
year.
s5,000,O00 for Instruction.
Some $4,000, 900 year is paid for
instruction to 1000 or more teachers
to whom the game gives exclusive or

for millionaires.
Ramifcations of the game are highly
beneficial to other industries. For in

The furniture industry has been aided
in many ways. One store in large
