South s Retail Sales
Increase During 1947
Proportion of National
Sales Up From 17.5
To 20
Total retail sales in the South have
increased from less than $8,500,000
in 1929 to over ?20 billion in 1947,
raising the South's proportion of the
total national retail sales from 17.5
t 20. WhihTin'1929 the per capita
retail sales in the nation as a Vhole
($398) were 58' greater than those
in the South, today the national per
capita retail sales figure ($700) is
only 36 greater than the corres
ponding figure for the South. ,
These phenomenal gains in the re
tail purchasing power of the South
were cited by Harry E. Resseguie,
chief of the Washington Bureau of
Fairchild Publications, in his 27th and
last article (appearing April 17) of
a series featured by the Daily News
Record on the economic and industrial
growth of the South. He claims that
they were made possible by the tre
mendous industrial development which
has taken place in that region dur
ing the past two decades and the con
sequent increase in the income of the
average individual, in the South. I
