' COUNTY AHEAD IN BUSINESS ACTIVITY (SPECIAL TO THE CHEROKEE SCOUT) NEW YORK ? prosperity is on the march in Cherokee County, with families earning more and spending more than those in most sections of the United States. The facts are revealed in Sales Management's new copyrighted survey of buying power, covering the entire country. They show that business activity in Cherokee County reached new heights in the past year, with re tail stores chalking up a sales vol ume of $7,799,000. The large-scale buying, which meant more luxurious living, is tied to a prosperous, growing popu lation. Better earnings made it pos sible. The data shows that the 4,300 families in Cherokee County had a net income last year, after deduction of personal taxes, of $11,424,000. The local earnings total, divided by the number of families in the countl, represents a net income of $2,657 per family. The general rising income situa tion, the experts agree, is a sound one, based on a stabilized dollar and an economy built on growing private enterprise and decreasing defense spending. A guide to e ach community's business potential is given through a figure called "buying power quota," which is based on number of people, money avail able, sales and related factors. It shows that Cherokee County is cap able of producing .0059 percent of the nation's business, rather than the .0045 percent for which it was responsible last year. Hie pest re presents untapped potential. Families in all income brackets are affected. They find confidence in the future, with the security of their stakes in pension funds, their savings and their equities and in vestments. They are less hlsitant, therefore, to take on new obliga tions to be met out of future In come.
