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

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.
