latter. However, such an ar
rangement restricts the eff

digging buckets and does not
always allow a satisfactory
range and depth of digging

To provide an improvement
over the prior practice, Mr..
Frear and his co inventors
have devised an excavating
machine wherein, as a prin-

the apparatus includes an in

It found that the Federal

Since less than that was

To maintain his current

need to work no more than
512 hours a day, for one

That is one of the facts
turned up by the Tax Foun-
dation, a non profit organ

dy it completed recently to
show the impact of the mul-
tiplicity of taxes imposed on
people throughout the coun-
try.
Taken into account were
all income, property, sales
and excise taxes, as well as
the many miscellaneous and
and hidden taxes that are col
lected by the three levels of
government, directly or in :

In Geauga County, on the

the average family has a tax

NEW YORK, - G e aug a

growing market, according
to a national study of buSi-

Significant gains were re-
corded in its trading area dur
ing the past year as local re-
sidentS, armed with better in
comes and a high rate of en-
ployment in most fields, in
dulged in large scale buy
ing.
The picture is revealed in q
new, copyrighted survey Of
buying power, made by Sales
Management. 1t covers every
section Of the country.
The extent Of this strength
in Geauga County is to be
seen in the size of local earn
ingS in 1859. After deduction
of personal income taXS, To-
cal residents had a net, spen-
dable' income Of S74 ,059, 900 +,
considerably more than their
1853 total of SGT POT 900.
What this represented, on a
per family basis, was deter
mined by dividing the dollar
volume by the number Of
households. 1t came to S6,987
per household.
The gain in the period a
mounted to 10.1 percent. That
was more than the 6.2 percent
