Publication Notes Changes in
Economy Over Past 25 Years
I, J
I w
By ELMER C. WALZER
UPI Financial Editor
New York - (UPD - Our econ
omy has changed in the past
quarter century and it is a
vastly different one from what
it was at the
turn of the
century.
A vivid pic-
4 - 4b.
b3 changes in the
.j.- past years
is set forth by
the firm of
Calvin Bui-
L lock, managers
Klacr Wilier of more than
a half billion dollars of mu
tual funds.
The Bullock firm started
publication of Its "Perspec
tive' just 25 years ago when
the Dow-Jones industrial aver
age was at 93.46; the Federal
Reserve production index was
at 37.5 and the gross national
product was $65 billion. Not
long ago, the industrial aver
age hit 678, the production
index hit 155, a-d econo
mists look for the GNP to
reach a half trillion dollars
soon.
In its current "perspec
tive" the Bullock firm shows
some of the changes that have
occurred.
Cars Could Be Spotted -
' Automobiles back in 1934
were fairly well distributed
0.68 to a family, against 1.14
today, but none had the me
chanical driving aids of to
day power steering, power
brakes, power windows and
so on, and few had radios and
beaters. Anyhow, a bright kid
could spot the cars and name
them a half mile away. Now
one has to look at the label
to determine the make.
Twenty-five years ago th
steel mills still were concen
trating on heavy steel-plates,
structurals and rails. Today
the emphasis is on sheets with
light gauge sheets and strip
used to a large extent in just
about everything made for
the consumer appliances,
containers, of course autos,
and myriads of others. The
steel industry is rated today
three times the importance it
had in 1934 with shipments
running at 900 pounds of fin
ished steel per capita against
300 pounds back there.
Corner Grocery Replaced
In the quarter century just
ending, the grocery chain in
dustry has all but replaced
the corner grocery. The clerk
has given way to the self
service operation of the super
market. Between 1938 and 1958, the
Bullock publication notes,
supermarkets have increased
their share of the grocery in
dustry from 16 per cent to 64
per cent and their sales in the
same period have risen from
about $1 billion to $28.7 bil
lion.' Tremendous . .developments j
have taken place in electron
ics which 25 years ago al-1
most completely centered on
the radio industry. Electronics
has grown into a big industry
and is gaining stature each
day. ,--,
The petroleum industry has
changed too. Back there it not
only furnished all the oil we
needed but it exported vast
amounts. Now the situation
has changed to where we are
forced to import nearly 1.7
million barrels a day. Devel
opment of the oil fields in the
Middle East and Venezuela
have changed the oil situation.
Chemistry's big change was
in the displacement of natural
materials for chemically de
rived ones in such fields as
fibers, wood and metal.
Movie Industry Declines
The motion picture industry
which was thriving 25 years
ago has run into bad times
with television cutting down
its business. Weekly attend
ance at movies has declined
from an estimated 70 million
in 1949 to 46 million in 1958,
a decline of almost 35 per
cent, and this during a per
iod when population has been
rising 21 per cent.
Aluminum has risen high in
the metal field over the recent
years and now is said to be
threatening the supremacy of
steel. Alloying metals have
come into prominence during
the quarter century and so
have the nuclear metals which
can stand high temperatures.
For those interested in the
stock market, the Bullock
firm notes that the foregoing
changes - most of them with
spurts forward were not
necessarily foreseeable in
1934.
