gains, leading to increased fat-
lory sales; and that there were
signs that there would be high
homebuilding activity at least
through the rest of the summer
All this is fine for (he past and
present, but in some quarters
there is a natural feeling that
conditions generally would
worsen should the pace of con
sumer purchasing slacken: or
that the pace should be main
tained at least and preferably im
proved if the business outlook is
to brighten.
Arno H. Johnson, vice presi
dent and senior economist for the
Walter Thompson agency, ex
plored the importance of the con
sumer dollar in a booklet recent
ly distributed. He called the con
sumer the real key to continued
economic growth.
Johnson went on the thesis that
the growing productivity of the
people of the United States can
not be utilized without upgrading
the standard of living and ex
panding the sales of goods and
services to match production and
thus provide employment and in
come commensurate with produc
tive ability."
Johnson wrote that there was1
need to increase the total annual
sales of goods and services to1
consumers by about $200 Billion
in the next 10 years to keep pace
with increasing productive ability
and with the need to create jobs
for an expanding population.
Confidence Needed
Johnson said that the immcdi
ate problem is not lack of pur
chasing power, but is lack of con
fidence and lack of insistent de
mand. The number of families
with a real purchasing power of
over $7,000 has more than dou
bled in the last 10 years, with
corresponding growth of discre
tionary spending power, he noted
"By 1973, the average personal
income per household, if we util
ize our productive ability." he
wrote, "should exceed $10,300
and the number of lamilies of
two or more persons with real
purchasing power of over $10,000
could grow to 22 million, or to;
about three times (lie 7.4 million!

OAKLAND, Calif. (UPI)-Chrys-
ler Corp. Wednesday previewed
the 55 model cars that will make
up the 1964 Chrysler Plymouth
line.
Basically the Plymouth line is
unchanged from tlie 1963 models,
but Chrysler modified its cars
more in an attempt to take a
greater share of the market.
The luxury imperial, designed
by Elwood P. Engcl who also
styled Ford's successful Continen
tal, represented the greatest
change in the line. It looks star
llingly like the Continental with a
rear tire unit built into tlie lid of
the trunk, similar to the old Lin
coln Mark II.
Chrysler opened its preview
Tuesday by showing newsmen the
Dodge car-truck line. The com-
