Makes More Money


The Chicago Negro has an in
come significantly higher than the
countrywide average. As early as
1919, Chicago Negroes income was
70 per cent of the average white
persons income.
A current sample census shows
$50, 700 Negroes as potential buy
ers in the Chicagoland market.
The city itself is about 20 per cent
Negro.
Some Of the largest companies
in the country made a direct ap-
peal to this local market thru
Negro publications. Their ads in
clude many using Negro models
and Endorsements by famous Ne
gro personalities.
The Chicago Negro is cNntin-

In 1910, 20 per cent Of the city's

had increased to SO per cent

These moves are the result in
part of the fact that annual in
come Of American Negroes now
is established at more than Is
billion dollars, a figure that rep
resents purchasing power larger
than that of some foreign coun-
tries.
The rise of the Negro to his
present consumer role has been
largely an urban development. 1t
began shortly before the start of
World War l. 1t was intensified
at the beginning of World War II
when Negroes in the south began
migrating in great numbers to
large northern cities.

Spends Less On Rent

On the other hand, statistics
signify that the Negro spends
less for rent, furniture. alcohol
and automobiles, and consistently
saves more Of his income than do
whites.
Also, not only does the Negro
now have considerable aggregate
buying power, but there are var
ious economic and cultural levels
within the Negro consumer group.
From 1899 to 1852 the median
income of the Negro increased
more than four times, from 1864
to $3.50. The median income of
the white population in the same
period rose only little more than
three times, from 1856 to 5000.
Negro incomes were 80 per cent
of the white populations income
in 1899. They had increased to 81
per cent by 1852 and still are
climbing.

Man Power Shortage

Then, the pinch of a World War
II man power shortage in bust
ness and industry and government
fair employment practices made it
possible for the city Negro to
gain and hold economic ground
he had not penetrated previously.
A rs cent increase in the mini
mum wage to 81 an hour, effective
March 1, will further increase the
Negroes purchasing power.
What does the Negro buy?
Statistics indicate that he spends
a bigger share of his income on
food and clothing than do white
persons.
One sampling of Negro and
white families by an advertising
agency showed that Negro wo-
men, for example, bought more
clothing and hosiery than white
women and that the range of
purchase prices was larger.
