8 A SUNDAY, APRIL 16. 1961 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON cdford Exceeds National Average In Consumer Buying New'York-Of more direct interest to residents of Med- ford than the gross national : product (GNP), of which much has been said, is their own - gross local product (GLP). That figure is the measure of the city's business activity '. for the year, since It repre : sents the total output of goods r and services locally. Approximately two - thirds of this output is the result of consumer spending, according 'to the latest federal ligures, '. The rest is made up of indus- ' trial outlays for plant expan- sion, and of the various kinds of sovernment disbursements Nationally, in the past fiscal year, the GNP reacneo a rec- : ord half trillion dollars, ae- . cording! to data released by the Department of Commerce, . It was well over the previous year's total, despite the unem i oloyment that prevailed. ;o less than $325 billion of it was for goods and serv ices bought by consumers. Medford accounted for an estimated $94,223,000 of this amount, which was more than ' its quota on the basis of popu Iation. ''..' " With only .0138 per cent of the nation's population, it con sumed .0287 per cent of the nation's output of goods and services, ' ; -, The spending ranged la all directions, from cosmetics to Fivs Area Doctors Listed in Directory ; Five southern Oregon phy sicians are among more than 8,000 doctors who have com pleted advanced training and earned certificates as medical specialists. Included are Medford Prs. John Tunis Brandenburg, in ternal medicine; Ralph Dud 1 -v Odell, surgery; Thomas J. ', nsley, clinical pathology' d pathologic anatomy; and ..

The new directory lists each of the approximately 73,000 certified . medical specialists in the U.S. clothing, from furniture to food and from movies to auto- Lmobile repairs. " Of the $94,223,000 outlay in the Medford area in per sonal consumer expenditures, $65,556,000 . was for' retail store purchases and $28,667,- 000 the estimated amount spent for services of all kinds. Because of his huge spend ing power, which enables him to absorb 65 per cent of the nation's output of goods and services, the consumer noias the' reins today. The way he spends his money spells out prosperity for some kinds of business and depression or failure for others. Recently his tastes , have been undergoing a change. His status symbols are no longer those ; of yesterday. He is spending a smaller percent age of his income in some directions and a larger per centage in others. The trend now Is toward bigger outlays for homes, for medical care and for travel, education and recreation.
