Riverside Drive PHONE McHENRY 275 Fifty years ago Grandma paid 11 cents a pound for pork chops. In recent years you have paid 80 cents and up. Grandma could feed her family on steak at two pounds for a quarter. You have paid seven to ten times as much. Why have meat prices increased so greatly? Has scarcity been the cause of higher prices? Has the price increase £een necessary in order, to get enough meat produced? Will consumers pay more for a smaller supply of meat than for a larger one? Answers to these and many other important questions are provided in a new study of the demand for meat- This study was carried on under the joint auspices of the University of Illinois and the University of Chicago. Professor Elmer J. Working of the University of Illinois directed the research wprk and -wrote the report. The Institute of Meat Packing of the University of" Chicago supplied most of the funds and published the final report, a volume of some 140 pages. Most Important Conclusions The most important findings of the stu'dy show how consumer spending changes When the supply of meat is changed. For example, it shows that, when the supply of meat is decreased from one year to the next, consumers willingly pay more total dollars for the smaller supply. But, when the supply is kept low for several years, they gradually cut the amount they speijd for meat to about the same as they spent for the larger supply. In the same way, when the supply of meat is increased from one year to the next, retail prices must be reduced <gpore than the supply is increased. But, if the larger supply is maintained for several years, consumers gradually increase their spending for meat until they spend about as much as before. These and related facts tell us that farmers can make a quick profit from a sudden reduction in meat supplies, but that this advantage will probably be lost in later years. Conversely, farm profits suffer from a sudden in- PROFE^IOnRL DIRECTORS' SIGN DESIGN Chain-O-Lakes Region Point Of Sale Advertising1 Specialists in Silk Screen Printing on Any Surface in Any Quantity Quickly and Relianiy.

Last Friday at onr big' basketball game with Centerville I.sat next to a fine-looking old man. Centerville had things their way the first half -- and he cheered every score they made. But, our boys began to catch up. Then Stretch Brown put us in the lead with a long set sjhbt, -and I noticed that the old fellow was now rooting for our side. "What team are you for, anyway?" I demanded. N "Neither," he replied. "I've got my own team. I figure any kid that does a good job out there is on my team. .Root for the individual like I do -- and you'll always back a winner!" From where I Bit, maybe it is a good idea to keep our eye on the individual, instead of automatically grouping him on teams you're "for" or "against." We're all individuals at heart, with our likes and dislikes -- onr right to prefer tea to coffee or beer to butter milk... our right to "blow the Whistle" when anyone tries to regiment us. crease V in, production, but consumer demand gradually builds up to take <the larger supplies at prices that can return profits to farmers. What's. Happened to 12-Cent Meat? Now let's go back to our first question: Why have prices of meat increased so much since the 1890s? Professor Working's study shows that the change in the value of money has been one outstanding factor. Thg value of the dollar is just about half of what it was in the lS90s. This fact alone would have caused meat prices to double. But the price of meat has increased about seven-fold, which is about twice as mudh as prices of most other consumer goods. Professor Working says that, as the nation's standard of living increased, people turned from cheaper foods to spend more for meat. This increase in demand lifted prices of meat. Meat Output. Fails to Keep pace. The production of meat during the past fifty years has not kept pace with our increas-. ing population. From 1899 to 1908, the average was about 167 pounds per person per year. By ,1930 it had slipped to around 130 pounds, and by 1935 to 111 pounds. Wartime demands brought the output up to 17S pounds in 1944, but it slipped back to 140 pounds in 1951. The supply of meat in 1954 averaged about 156 pounds |>er ! and it. will probably bf the same in 1955.

But it is true. And when you look into the facts, you'll find these two solid truths: Buick is one of the "Big Three" in sales volume--and hotter thip year than ever before. Arid Buick is one *of the "Big Three" when it comes to prices which , make such popularity possible. The price we show here proves it. So why not get what a Buick has to offer, if you are in die market for a new car? You find that the dollars you pay for Buick buy you a lot more automobile -- and the sheer satisfaction that comes with bossing a brawny traveler of this caliber. 'Ybu find it in the record-high V8 power that gives life to this spirited performer. \ou find it in the soft and level and cruiser-steady ride that comes of all- Soc*Uy? coil springing and torque-tube stability. \bu find it in the extra roominess, the extra frame strength, the extra tread width, the extra silencing--all part and parcel of every Buick. We could tell you about the little things, too. Things usually charged foi: as "extras" in other cars, but yours as standard equipment at no extra cost in every Buick. Things like direction signals, oil-bath air cleaner, full-flow oil filter, automatic lighting in glove and trunk compartments--and so on. But--you get the idea. This is a buy, this *55 Buick-- a great buy--and a thriller from the instant you press its gas pedal.
