Average Man Works Half as Much Now To Clothe Family NEW YORK.—The average man works only half as hard today to clothe his family as he did in 1914. The national industrial confer ence board, an independent fact finding organization, in a survey found the working man in 1948 spent the equivalent of less than five hours' work a week to buy clothes for his family whereas he had to work more than nine hours a week in 1914 to get the money. "The purchasing value of the wage earners' clothing dollar has more than doubled over the 34-year period," said the board. "The three fold rise in clothing prices has been overshadowed by the sixfold in crease in wages over the hourly rate of 25 cents in 1914. "The wage earner could in 1948 outfit himself with an overcoat, gloves, hat. suit, shirt, socks, and shoes and pay the bill by working 61 hours. "The 1914 wage earner would have had to work 153 hours for the same outfit." On the same scale, a woman's hat cost one and a half hours work in 1948 and four hours in 1914. Two factors in the cost difference were pointed out. The average family size in 1914 was 4.88 persons compared with 3.61 persons last year. But the board found the mod ern family buys a greater variety and larger amounts of clothing, with the increase in personal consump tion amounting to almost 50 per cent in the 34 years. Furthermore the expenditures for heavy clothing has declined in the period because of advances in home heating and travel in auto mobiles. In the past 34 years, women have taken over a larger and larger share of the clothing dollar, the board found. In 1914 the man spent 50 per cent more for his clothing than he permitted his wife to spend. But today, the wom#n spends 30 per cent more for her outfits than her husband does for his.
