CITY IS CHOSEN FOR SORVEY ON INCOME USES Check on How Consumer Spends Cash Expected to Aid Business. Indianapolis is to be one of the cities to be studied by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor in a survey to determine how the American consumer uses his Income, it was announced today at the Indiana Bureau, 424 N. Meridian-st. The study is the result of requests from various consumer groups, business organizations, government, bureaus, private institutions and relief agencies. The American Federation of Labor also has urged that up-to-date ihformation on family expenditures be gathered. Rachel S. Gallagher has been appointed director ot the East Central region, to which Indianapolis belongs. Held Guide to Business Regional headquarters are at Columbus, O. Louis S. Klumpp is city supervisor in Indianapolis. The study, designed as a guide for business men, labor leaders, manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, welfare workers, housewives and consumers in general, is expected to throw light on what amounts are spent for food, clothing, rent, recreation, education, transportation and other items. It is also expected to show at what income levels various luxuries are customarily purchased, to what income groups various sales efforts should be directed, and how spending habits va.'y according to such factors as geographical location and the size of the community. Buying Habits Have Changed The last survey of family expenditures covered only 12,000 wage - earner and low - income families. It was made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 191819. This was not only the abnormal period of the World War, but predated the present day extensive use of automobiles, radios, permanent waves, silk hose and many household electrical appliances, it was pointed out. In the last 17 years, drastic revisions have been made in family spending, bureau officials said. For example, very few clothing budgets now include high-top shoes, wool petticoats long underwear, and cotton stockings. The market guide which will be made available by the Urban Study of Consumer Purchases’will be invaluable in indicating market trends and the amount of goods which can profitably be produced and sold bureau heads declared. Mutual Benefit Seen Business and industry and employer and employe will be served by the study, the bureau believes. A more accurate knowledge of living costs is expected to assist capital and labor in drawing wage contracts. Social service and welfare units will have a guide in planning budgets for families on relief, and pub- ' lie health centers will be interested in what the survey reveals concerning diet habits and housing condi- ■ tions in relation to income and size of families. Housewives will be afforded a clearer understanding of the costs ; incidental to household mainte--1 nance, it is hoped.
