Farm Buying Power
Still Shows Gains
Increase Well Above
Cost of Living Rate

The current drop in living costs
has given the average city wage
Garner approximately the same
buying power today that he enjoyed
in June, 1916, final month of OPA.
Though the farmers buying
power has edged off with the drop
in food prices it is humping against
government price supports, and
still shows gain that is well over
double the increase in the cost Of
living, according to a chart study
of our ten-year-old war boom, made
by the family economics bureau Of
Northwestern National Life Insur-
ance company.
Ten years ago last winter you
could buy a new four-door sedan
for 1925, sirloin steak was 80 cents
a pound, milk averaged 1871 cents
quart, and you could build
five-room modern house for around
$3,000-but we had 10 million un-
employed. Then European rearma-
ment orders spanked our recovery
