figures, recently released, shed
the first light on just how well
business fared in Perquimans
County during the 1959-60 fiscal
year.
Better than average, they in

in most families, there was more
money on tap for spending in
ihe local retail stores.
The study, which was con
ducted by the Standard Rate and
Data Service, gauges the eco
nomic strength of communities
in every part of the country. It
covers the 12-month period end
ing June 30, 1960.
Residents of Perquimans Coun

in the year, after paying their ,
taxes, of $8,519,000. This topped

ing their extra income into pur
chases of goods and services.
Besides spending whatever
gains they had, they were taking
on additional installment debt.
The result was, according to the
Commerce Department, that the
amount of money set aside as
savings was very small. The
geneial attitude was that the
need for caution was past. It
was a time for spending.
This feeling on the part of the
consumer was, evident in Per
quimans County, where it pro
duced sales in the local retail
stires amounting to $8,009,000 in
the period. ,
Almost every kind of retail
business got its share, including
those in the durable goods field,
which had lagged behind in
fiscal 1959.'
The subsequent decline in the
national economy, followed by
more unemployment, came as a
surprise to most people, who
had been led to expect a full
year of business prosperity.

Little Change Seen

Realized net farm income this
year is expected to be about the I
same as in 1959 and prospects
for 1961 point to relative sta
bility in cash receipts, farm cost
rates and net farm incomes rea

farm income in 1960 may equal
or possibly exceed 1959. This
improvement in farm income
prospects, above expectations
earlier- this year, - stems largely
from increased output of wheat
and soybeans, as well as from a
smaller-than-expected increase in
production expenses.
Relative stability in cash re
ceipts, production expenses, and
net income will likely continue
in 1961. Reflecting record farm
output: this year, the volume of
farm marketings , is running
about 3 percent above 1959 and
may increase further in 1961 if
growing conditions are average
or 'better. Livestock production
will ? likely increase In 1961.
Cattle prices in 1961' probably
will continue to decline under

1960 taxes are in their hands

Attention is called to the fact
that until February 1 taxes may
be paid at face value. ' After
"February I a penalty of one per
cent will be added. , Beginning
March 1 another one per cent
will be added.' On and' after
April 2, in addition to the said
