1921, 300 US. Families
In Preferred Class
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 6.-There are
1921 300 preferred families" in
the United States with the equiva-
lent in buying power of an annual
81 1,5O0 New York City income, the
magazine Sales Management re-
ported today.
The publication, announcing its
yearly survey of purchasing power
said the American public last year
had an effective" income of $67,-
783, ,307 900, an increase of 7 per cent
over the 1888 figure and the fifth
highest total on record.
Dividing income by the popula-
ton, the total was equivalent to
$2.267 for a composite American
family" or 1852 for the average
individual.
The magazine explained, however,
that relatively few incomes" in the
high brackets partly accounted for
the s2267 average and that "actu-
ally only 81 per cent of the families
have the equivalent Of 81 500 New
York City income
The magazines statistical staff, "
the announcement said, has found
that a family income of $500 in
the biggest cities is necessary for
the necessities Of life Above that
f1gure luxuries and savings are
possible"
Heading the list of cities with
more than 100000 population in
effective buying income by family"
