Here Are Some Surprising Facts About The Trading Stamp Industry So far, whenever our nation's economy has needed expansion, a new industry has sprung up to help the country go ahead. The automobile industry, employing millions, was followed closely by the development of radio and radio broadcasting to make more millions of jobs. Then came the airplane industry, air conditioning, plastics, television, frozen foods, to change our lives some more. The trading stamp industry, while not new, belongs to this expansion group and has been one of the fastest growing of all. Today it betters the living of more than 3 out of 4 Illinois families who save tradingstamps. Obviously, an industry affecting such a large proportion of Illinois' population must bring far-reaching benefits for Illinois' cconomy. And it does. In 1957 the trading stamp industry bought $35,531,000 worth of products from Illinois manufacturers. In one way or another, it provided employment for 3,501 Illinois people in many different industries. The people in the trading stamp industry, its merchandise and redemption stores, its warehouses and transportation and all the activity that goes on within it are integrated economically everywhere within our state. Thus it seems plain that the trading stamp industry along with the 2.236,000 Illinois women it serves has become, like other expansion industries, a living, vital segment of Illinois' economy. • • * This message is published as public information by THE SPERRY AND HUTCHINSON COMPANY, originator 63 years ago of S&H Green Stamps.
