What do 11,000 new customers a day
mean to your business?
It’s astonishing but true — 11,000 new babies arrive in the
U. S. every day of the week!
Our population is growing so fast that every month we add
enough people to poptdate a Richmond, Va., or a Tulsa, Okla.
At this rate, we’ll have about 180 million people by 1960.
'This is a very healthy thing for America — and for you. It
means an ever-increasing demand for every kind of con-
siuner goods. Not just for cribs and baby bonnets — but for
everything that people eat, wear and enjoy.
Our soaring population is just one of the many big changes
taking place in America today — changes, that open up new
opportimities for us all. Here are a few of these changes:
MORE JOBS — Even though employment in some areas has
fallen off, we still have 20 million more jobs than we had in
1939. And nine times more Americans are in the $5000-plus
income bracket than in 1941!
2, MORE MONEY — In spite of inflation and higher prices, the
American people have over twice as much spending power
now as they had in 1940.
3. MORE SAVINGS - Individual savings in America rose from
$68.5 billion in 1940 to about $250 billion in 1953.
4^ MORE FARM OUTPUT — 52% more per man-hour than we
had in 1940 - and this in spite of a net shift of almost six
million away from farms since that year!
5, MORE LEISURE TIME — Forty million Americans get paid
vacations — a great boon to the hotel and transportation busi
nesses, to the sports, hobby and entertainment fields.
MORE ATOMIC POWER — Sooner or later, atomic energy
* will nm our trains, heat our homes and light our cities. This—
plus advances in electronics ■
era for America.
• can usher in a fabulous new
7.
MORE DEMAND - Right now there is a $500 billion back
log of demands for goods and services to build roads, schools,
hospitals, highways and factories. For example, we have to
nearly double our school system in the next few years. Filling
these demands will create more jobs, more spending power,
more industrial opportunities.
You are bound to profit from all these changes — whether
you’re a businessman, a housewife, an industrial worker, a
farmer, or a salaried employee. ’
Barring a major war, America’s future never held greater
promise.
