the gains recorded were made in a
period that included the 1888 re-
cesSion.
The official figures show, for
Farmville. a total of 95 retail es-
adjustments in operation toward

The average American family has
been stimulated 10 spend more and
more each year by the simple fact
that it has had more to spend. De-
spite higher taxes and bigger price
tags. there is still greater amount
of disposable income around than
there was before.
Recognized as another major fac
tor. largely responsible for the new
mood in consumer spending, is the
growth Of personal protection pro-
grams. The individual and the
family are secured as never before
against the economic impact of
death. disability and retirement,
Such safeguards make it possible
for them to spend a Larger portion
OF their net income than they once
did. It brings within reach some of
the luxulies that had formerly been
beyond them.
