I Piggly Wiggly—A Civic Factor ^
Expenditures for education in the United States increased from $781,707,000 |5|j
in 1913-14 to $2,744,000,000 in 1925-23. The funds got this great work came Ijfffl
not alone from increased production and larger earnings throughout the
country, hut also from increased savings by reason of more efficient distribu- Mj
tion. Chain stores, and particularly Piggly Wiggly Stores, contributed more SH
than their proportionate part of such increased savings.
