Northwest Buying
Power Leads U.S.;
Seattle Top City
Ripples of appraisal have been
set in motion throughout the Pa-
cific Northwest by a survey re-
cently released by Sales M:anage-
meat, a New Yoz'k publication
which places Washington and Ore-
son among the seven top states
of the nation in effective buying
per capita raceme.
The survey gives the first 10
states in their order as: Wash-
ington, $].451: Connecticut,, $1,-
4,19; Nevada $1,420; District of
Columbia. $1,380; California, $1,-
360; Rhode Island, $1,310; Oregon,
$1,306; New Jersey, $1,261; Mas-
sachusetts, ,$1,184, and New York,
$1.174.
NoL only does Washington rank
first but its purchasing power m
40 per cent abovc the per capita
figure for tim nation.
A first, quick conjecture is to
attribute the prosperity indicated
by the survey Lo the accumula-
tion of high war wages but this'
appears to be only a back ground
inf]nencc, Present and current
earnings account largely for the
figures. The survey is based on
income-tax returns, bank debits,
retail, sales, agricultural market-
ing, car loadings, and other fac-
tors.
High buying power and heavy
increases in population now make
this region one of the best mar-
kcts for manufactured goods. The
fact is becoming more and more
apparent that persons who came
here for the war industries have
SIIELTON-MASON COUNTY JOURNAL
remained. And nmre are coming.
It is reported that many of this
summer's seasonal workers in the
fruit and harvesting and fruit
processing operations are those
who have come West hopmg tiros
to g'et a toehold het'e and remain.
Washington and Oregon together,
by late Bureau of Census figures,
show a total gain in resident civ-
ilian population of 11.6 per cent.
The entire Pacific Coast shares
in the high buying income statis-
tics and the same survey lists the
highest eight metropolitan cen-
ters in the United States, as Seat-
tle Wash., while a per capita buy-
ing income of $2,110; Spokane,
Wash., $2,078; Sacramento, Calif.,
$1,999; Portland. Ore., $1,922; San
Diego, Calif., $1,782; Tacoma,
W, ash., $1,773; and San Francisco
and Oakland, Calif., $1,715.
High wages account for a good
part of the figures and while Se-
es,tie tops the cities of the nation
in the high cost of living, it also
leads in effective buying raceme.
There is practcally no unemploy-
ment in the city and "help want-
ed" signs are still prevalent.
The high buying power is part-
ly accounted for in Seattle, and
to a lessor degree throughout the
region, in the doubling up of faro-
flies due to the housing shortage.
A large number of persons living
under one roof, not having the
overhead expense of separate
dwellings, and many of Lhem em-
ployed at high wages, means much
more money for current spending.

I Fine Progress On
Puyallup Fair
Grounds Reported
Progress of work on buildings
and St,rends I)rior to the opening
of the 43d annual Wes'teru Wash-
ington fair, Puyallup, on Sept. 14
is "very satisfactory" to members
of the the board of diz'ectors of
Lhe association who were recenL-
ly eonducted on a.tour of inspec-
Lion by Manager John H. McMur-
ray.
Since ass,racing early this year
that the fair would open its doors
again this fall the association
has beecn following a schedule
of improvement work, using sal-
vaged materiMs, to boLh grounds
and buildings. This schedule, ac-
cording to Manager McMurray,
is well ahead of the time seL for
improvements to date.
The board of directors, in their
tour of the grounds, saw the new
Agriculture building with its rc-
decorated inLerior, the new rodeo
chutes in front of the main grand-
stand, the concrete drinking foun-
tains which fair workmen design-
cd and built, the new waterproof
all-concrete display tanks in the
Fish and Game building, the new
hard-surfaced road-ways, the con-
dition of the turf infield and new-
ly-planted flower beds, the work
in the new exterior to the main
entrance, and the progress of the
inspection work on the Big Dip-
per ride in the fair-owned and op-
erated amusement zone.
Dates of the 43rd annual exposi-
tion at Puyallup are from Sept.
14 through Sept. 22, day and night.
G. I. Insurance
*t
Liberalized By
New Measure
National service life insurance
has been materially extended and
liberalized as a result of amend-
ments to the original law recently
passed by congress, according to
an announcement from I:he VeLer-
ans' Administration.
The new anaendments, designed
to meet peacetime needs, provide
endowment policies, permit the
naming of beneficiaries outside the
restricted classes in the original
bill, and offer hunp sum pay-
ments and total disability benefits.
Holders of about six million NS-
LI policies now in force are eligi-
ble for the new benefits, the an-
nouncement stated. Veterans who
have allowed their policies to lapse
may also be entitled to reinstate
theln and take advantage of the
low cosL protection of GI insurance
and its new liberal benefits.
Veterans should not feel com-
pelled to make an immediaLe
change in the term insurance they
now carry, since they have ample
Lime to give careful consideration:
to their insurance program, the VA
advises.
Teriu insurance policies before
Jamzary 1, 19,16, may be conLinued
without change for eight years
from the date issued, and p¢)]icies
issued after DeccJnber 31, 1945, are
good for five years without the.ne-
cessity of converting.
Three types of endowment poli-
cies are set up under Llac GI insur-
ance law; 20-year eidowment, en-
dowmenL aL ag'e 60, and endow-
menLaL age 65. Previously only
ordinary life, 20-pay life and 30-
pay life had been authorized as
permanent forms of insurance. All
restrictions on the choice of bene-
fieiaries imposed by the original
act have been removed.
The insurance amendments al-
low the option of a single lump
sum settlement to beneficiaries, or
payments in equal monthly install-
ments ranging from 36 to 240
months. Original methods of pay-
sent, which are still in force, In'O-]
vided monthly income to benefic-
iaries for life, witl" a guarantee of
Lhe full value of the policy.
A new feature of GI insurance
is the payment of benefits to an
insured veteran who is totally dis-
abled for as long as six months.
Paid at the rate of $5 per month
for each $1,000 of insurance, bene-
fits continue for as long as the dis-
ability exists. The disability fea-
ture may be added to any form of
insurance, including term policies,
by meeting specified health re-
quirements and paying an extra
premiunu
Applications for insurance which
were rejected solely for health rea-
sons between October 8, 1940, and
September 2, 1945, are validated
by the amendments in cases where
the applicants were killed or total-
ly disabled in line of duty.
