WHE . “Betsy And Josie Were . y One Of The First ies Of Nevada City days which I always thought was a poor choice because most always we had creamed codfish and potatoes on that day, They preferred tea to coffee, They looked on Mr, and Mrs. J. J. Jackson, the grocers as their best friends, Once they got off schedule. and came to Lulu Clutters for breakfast. They had been earlierto have breakfast at Mrs. Jackson's, but had found Mrs, Jackson in tears not knowing that Tom Sharp (Mrs, Jackson's brother)had just died, Josie practically ordered Lulu to bake a cake and take it to Jackson's right away. Dr. Carl Muller was once called by Josie to the Campoodie totreat Chief Charlie, When Dr. Muller got to their cabin he found Josie standing behind the bed pulling old Charlie back and forth from his sitting up positionshe had tied a couple of dish cloths together and had them across his chest.

History Of The Expanding Middle Class (EDITOR'S NOTE--T his is another in the series on money and finance from the Bank of America), .By Andrew Baldwin Chances are that since World War II, the income profile for your family has been steadily moving upward, It is no secret that much of our current prosperity rests upon the fact that a greatly expanded middle and upper income class has emerged since the war, Just how vast this transformation and reshuffling of the nation's buying power is can be told in a few simple figures, The National Industrial Conference Board recently showed that last year some 1] million, or 22% of the nation's families, had earnings exceeding $10,000, A decade earlier (measured in todays dollars) those in this category number 3.7 million and represented only 9% of the population. The “upper income” bracket is generally applied to those families that have an annual income ranging between $10,000 and $15,000, About 16% of the families in the nation are in this particular category. They account for an impressive 27 % of the total buying power. By many standards this group is of greatest interest to the nation's market men, It not only accounts for a higher proportion of demands than any other group but is also growing faster than any other group. + Tocontinue with our profile of . this category; slightly more than three out of every five families .in this category are 35-54, a ratio well above the norm, Both the young and the old are under represented, With the upward movement in the age scale, we find aslight decrease in the number of homes which include children. In some homes, Income youngsters have already core of age and have struck out on their own, A good proportion of families (70 %) have two or more members in the labor force, and close to 25 % have three or more, In fact, many a family is in the “upper income” bracket because so many of its members are employed. In most cases the extra worker is a child spending the interim years at home (post school and pre marriage). This means that the population of this income group is in a continuous state of change, When working youngsters leave to form their own households, the parent family often falls into a lower bracket.» In other homes, children come of work age and improve the family's income status, Almost one out of every two wives in this income group are employed; about half of these working women contribute 30 % or more to the total family budget. Finally, close to three out of every five households here have some income in addition to eamings, Educationally, this group is well above average: more than a third of all family heads have been to college, Not unexpectedly, we find a relatively large number employed in professional technical, and managerial jobs, Those broad classifications account for more than two-fifths of the total employment in this group. Craftsmen and foremen make up another fifth. The uppermost income bracket is the $15,000 and bver group. Only slightly over 6 % of the nation’s families are in this bracket, although they wield an estimated 18% of the total spending.
