Higher Income Group
Buys More Than All
Others, SurveyShows
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK. Mar. 25.-It's
not the average-income family
but the numerically-fewer up
per-income families that buy
the biggest bulk of nearly every
thing, according to a market
analysis made public yesterday
by the New York Times.
The study. prepared over a
three-month period by The
Times research department.
found that only one-third of
metropolitan families, with in
comes over $4.587. buy more
than all the others.
Ivan Veit. Times promotion
and research director, comment
ed at a news conference that
the lend Of all too much re-
search" into markets in the
past had stopped with the idea
that the most buying was done
by the income group that was
numerically the largest.
Higher income families are
better customers for practically
everything. including staples"
Veit said.
The analysis is based ON fig
ures supplied by the United
States Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics. 1t shows New Workers spend
SIG billion annually on the re-
tail market.
Although ST. per cent of the
people in the metropolitan area
have incomes of less than $4,587.
the study shows. they do only
44.2 per cent of the spending
for total of $8.502, 391 1868.
On the other hand, 32.4 per
cent of the families with in
comes over $4,587 spend $1O.-
742, l04,889-or $50 per cent of
the cash that goes over the
counters.

ton was read, the bells Of Rome's

witnessed a succession of solemn
and joyous ceremonies.
In New Orleans, the Mayor

sion carried $50 boats up Pleas
ure Bay while $4,000 spectators
watched from the shore.
In Chicago, 10000 Of the
faithful jammed into Soldier
Field to pay tribute to the
Mother of Jesus. while 10000
others thronged outside the
stadium to hear the ceremonies
over loudspeakers.
Pilgrims Throng Shrines.
Because of the significance of
the year, great shrines to Mary
like those at Lourdes. France;
Guadalupe, outside Mexico City;
st. Mary Major Basilica in Rome
and the National Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception at Cath
olic University in Washington,
have been visited by unprece-
dented numbers of pilgrims.
Every Catholic parish in the
Archdiocese of Washington has
sent pilgrims to the National
Shrine of the Immaculate Con-
ception. The shrine is currently
the object of a national drive to
raise the So million needed to
complete it. The final work on
the superstructure was begun this
year in honor of Mary.
When it is finished, the shrine
will be one of the great religious

NV, celebrated by Archbishop
O'Boyle.
Thus will end a great celebra-
ton of the dogma which Pope
Plus XII called "the most
precious gem with which, 100
years ago, the sacred diadem of
the Blessed Virgin was adorned"
and which. he said, should urge
us to that innocence and in
tegrity Of life which flees from
and abhors even the slightest
stain of sin that men may
shine of their Christian probity
and fortitude, and that domestic
life may flourish through
proper and sanity education Of
it's children"
