Record Real Income
Paid 10 Workers
In Last Year
Buying Power Jumps,
Wages Rise Foster
Than Prices
By Cambridge Associates.

Last year If you were a wage
Garner you should have enjoyed the
best real income" of any time
within your memory, or, in fact. OF
any time in the history of the
Nation. Make 1t the world and 1t
will still be right.
Real income isn't entirely ques-
ton of how many dollars are in the
pay envelope. Back in 1920, If you
remember that far, a fair amount
of dollars were being tucked into
pay envelopes. But these dollars
weren't worth very much in terms
Of food, rent, suits, dresses and di-
version. On the other hand, in 1882
pay envelopes were thin but dollars
were fat and a few dollars went a
long way in buying food or clothing
or anything else.
In 1941 there was a combination
of these two desirables. Wage earn
ers found fat pay envelopes and fat
dollars, too. Weekly earnings in all
manufacturing industries were up
nearly 80 per cent over the levels
OF the pre-war month of August,
1899, while the cost of living rose
only little more than z per cent
in the same period. For this group
there was big and gratifying IN
crease in real income.
Other groups did not fare too
badly. Salaried workers enjoyed an
increase in real income, although q
smaller one. Farmers had to 90
back 20 years to find any better
period Of relationship between the
prices they received and the prices
they had to pay for the things they
bought.
Investors did not fare so well as
they have in other periods, but their
cash income was better than in 1910
and their real income showed a
slight gain when it was translated
into terms of the goods and services
they had to buy.
Higher income taxes and other
increased taxes due to defense costs
did not eat very heavily into family
budgets In 194l. The new taxes and
the increase in excise levies were not
imposed until late In the year and
did not bear heavily upon con-
sumers generally.
More noticeable to the consuming
public was the increase in living
costs which began in mid-February
There had been flurries of price in
flation before, but before prices had
settled back to level midway be-
tween the prices of 1929 and the
low points of 1882. This rise, how
ever, was sharp and unmistakable
If it continues it will very possibly
wipe out the gains in real income
which the majority of consumers
enjoyed in 1910.
In buying food, for example, ir
the late months of the year, house
wives found they had to pay about
SLIT for the same amount and
quality of food which dollar would
purchase q year before. When they
were buying clothing, the story
wasn't quite so bad. but it was still
necessary to ind SLOT to buy what
would have been considered . dol-
lars worth IA late 1910.

Population changes, operating IN

reaus slated for removal to other
cities can be expected to grow de-
spite strong opposition in some
cases, but the exodus has httle

Big Changes Faced.
A ban on automobile tire sales
and plans for rigid rationing for
essential purposes was starting
new element injected within the
last week. While effects OF the move
will come gradually because exist
ing tires will be conserved as much
as possible<fthe entire area faces
considerable adjustment to the
changed situation.
The tire order Immediately puts
a premium on business or resloen-
tial' property easily accessible to
regular transportation services and
detracts from the value Of property
only accessible by automobile.
1t also places additional respon'
sibility on the transit companies to
handle heavy increases IN passen-
gers at a time when the outlook for
delivery of new equipment is un-
certain:
Most of the neighborhood busi-
ness centers with their increasing
number OF branches from large re-
tail organizations are favorably To-
Gated on transportation lines. Be-
cause of the desirability Of residen-
tial property around them and
crowded conditions on buses and
streetcars, they should continue to
grow.
Uneven Sales Likely.
Despite the increased population,
store sales probably will move un-
evenly, with essentials booming
where supplies permit and higher
priced luxury items tagging under
the weight Of taxes. Government
regulations and curbs on purchas-
ing power.
New products to meet wartime
demands and take the place of old
ones now required by the military
will give advertising and promotion
staffs of all retail establishments
tough job in the coming year.
Competition for the trade Of new
comers will add to their problem.
1941 Gains Cited.
It was even more apparent during
the last year that the Metropolitan
Area must be considered one big
market, with a growing proportion
of its population outside Of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
At the close of 1941, population
of the area is estimated at 1,058,81
an increase of $4,000 since the
Government census takers counted
1876 in April, 1910.
Of this total, the District &C
counted for an estimated 753,091,
an increase of 10000 over the 1910
census total of 663 3,091.
