Nov. 18— The better earnings on the I part ot Dunn residents dur ing the past year were re flected in freer spending and ignore luxurious living. The story is told by the cash reg isters in the food markets, by the volume of automotive sales records, by purchases of furniture, household and radio equipment and by eth er factors. The gains were over and above j the dollar increase attributable to; inflation and point to better liv- j ring standards locally. 1 * The breakdown of retail spending , is contained in the current, copy-1 righted survey of Sales Manage ment( showing how money is ap- j propriated in each community.

Divided by the number of •local families, this represented spending at the rate of $1,450 per family in the city’s meat markets, grocery stores, bakeries, delicates sens and the like. NATION’S AVERAGE $Bl5 It was more than was spent gen erally throughout the country for food, the average being «815 p’r family. It was more, also, than was spent in the South Atlantic States S7OO per family, and than North average, $615 per fam- The importance of food in the Dunn housewife’s budget is evi dent from the fact that out of every dollar she spends in stores 17 cents goes for food. In the other categories of retail trade investigated, the local mar ket was also found to be flour ishing. Sales of automotive eouio meut, including cars and parts, farm machinery and boats came dollar. Stores selling general r»r <to $3,783,000, taking 25 cents of the 1 chandise, comprising department, stores, dry good and variety shops accounted for $1,854,000, another 12 cents.

It marks an advance over 1950, when the volume was $13,971,- 000.
