Geauga Eats Well
According to Survey

NEW YORK. - The chang
ing times are producing cor
responding changes In t h e
manner in which G e aug a
County residents are spend
ing their money.
Because local incomes have
been rising faster than
the cost of living, the aver
age family has been able to
eat better. to dress better
and to add to it's expenditur-
es for recreation and for
hobbies.
The data on local spend
ing ability and spending ha-
bits comes from a nation =
wide survey made by tn e
Standard Rate and Data Ser
vice. 1t details the emphasis
being given by the consumer
to such items as food, autos,
clothing, house furnishings
and general merchandise.
Most of the money spent in
Geauga County's retail stor-
es in the past year went for
food, it was found.
Meat markets, bakeries,
groceries, fish stores and
supermarkets took in a total
of $7,722,000 during the year
as compared with $7,507, 900
in 1857.
This outlay, for take home
food, represented % cents of
every retail dollar.
Tt was more than was bud
geted for food by most fami-
lies in the United States, the
average being 25 cents. It
was 26 cents in the State of
Ohio.
The food bill. if divided e.
qually among the local popu-
lation, would amount OF $632
per household.
Not included in the total is
the money spent for on the
premises food and drink in
lunchroomS, in restaurants
at soda fountains and the
like.
Although people were re .
strained, in general, in their
spending last year because
of the business let down ,
most retail lines held up
well, under the circumstance
es. Some Jared better t h a n
others.
In stores selling automo =
tive equipment, such as cars,
motorcycles and boats, the
gross volume for the year
came TO SIS, ,495 900. 1t amount
ed to nearly 20 cents of the
retail dollar.
Those handling general
