It re- family in spent its and how clothing, ONLY $2.00 per week household equipment, cars and other items. In Mason County, it shows, the largest outlays were for food. More money went in this direction than in any other. The sales volmne in local meat markets, grocery stores, bakeries, delicatessens and the like added up to an impressive $6,103,000, exceding the previous year's $5,- 863,000. And this represented only food bought for home consumption. Not included is the amount spent in restaurants and in other dining and drinking places. IN EFFECT, 31 cents out of every dollar spent in local retail stores was for take-home food. It was a greater proportion than was used for food in most commu- nities. Elsewhere in the United States, 24 cents of the dollar was so-spent and, in the Pacific States, 23 cents. The report shows that the amount of food purchased in Ma- son County for home consumption would amount to $1,096 per house- hold if distributed equally among the loc,al population. • In the next few weeks The Jour- nal will present in installment form an account of the 2½-month trip to Europe made by Mrs. Flo- rence Lawton of Shelton in the period between May 9 and July 20.
