the fundamental principles on
which this government was found

ev: rybody in the land is far better

The people of Duplin County have
come a long way over ine past
twenty years. They have worked
hard to do it. And the same re
actionary forces whose policies
would have stopped our progress
are stlU threatening botp our gams
Today the average family! prim

more secure employment, is far
better off than the average family
of 20 years ago.
Hlcber Incomes

since 1929-474 percent since 1932.
Income in 1950 amounted to
$951 for each man woman and child

Where there was $43 per person

Statistics alone can never indi
cate the human degradation impos
ed by the Great Depression. But
let us remember that in 1932, over
12 million men and women in the
United States were totally and des
pairingly without work.
In 1951, 970.000 people in North
Carolina had jobs in nonagricul-
turai employment. Great gains
have., been made in the last. 20
years. In manufacturing, for ex
ampla, employment, has -risen 40,
per cent lust aince 1938.
Business Is Soosd And Prosperous
Opportunities are good in al
most all fields of business. And
the businessman's efforts pay off
today more than ever before be
cause the State s economy is strong
er than ever before.
In 1951 there were 74,700 busi
nesses in operation in North Caro
lina. Manufacturing establish
ments alone increased from 2,084
in 1933 to 5,322 in 1947, the latest
year lor which figures are avail
able. A total of 8,000 new businesses
of all kinds were started in North
Carolina in 1950 proof of the
hollowness of Republican charges
that so called 'socialism' is under
mining AmeriCcin business.
Volume of retail sales of North
Carolina businesses increased fom
$642.5 million to over $2.2 billion
between 1929 and 1948. An addi
tion indication of business growth
is shown by the fact that businesses
in North Carolina- paid their em-
ployees nearly $2V billion in wages
