CONSUMER PRICES IN THE UNITED STATES, 1953-58
Price Treads
In the 12 years preceding 1953, the United States was engaged in World War II and
the Korean conflict and, as a result, experienced several periods of severe price inflation*
Between 1940 and 1952, annual average consumer prices rose nearly 90 percent (chart 1)•
As the United States increased its armed strength and later became involved in
World War II, consumer prices climbed rapidly upward* From spring (March) 1941 through
May 1943, the Consumer Price Index advanced 24 percent* However, toward the latter part of
this period, the Government's economic stabilization program began to take effect and the
rate of advance was retarded* Because of the success of the stabilization program, the
period from May 1943 to June 1946 was one of relatively moderate price advance* Alter July
1946, however, controls were removed and prices soared, rising at the sharpest rate ever
measured by the CPI* Largely responsible for this rise was the pent-up demand for consumer
goods growing out of wartime shortages, supported by the increase in incomes and purchasing
power generated by Government war expenditures* This postwar price advance lifted the CPI
level more than 30 percent in a little over 2 years (June 1946-August 1943)*
The inflation was temporarily halted by the recession of late 1943-49* More
plentiful supplies and more cautious consumer buying helped check the price rise* As in
the previous recession (1937-38 ) 2/, however, the CPI declined only moderately* Between the
September 1948 index peak and February 1950, the subsequent low for this period, consumerprices in general fell 4 percent, primarily because of price decreases of 9 and 8 percent
for food and apparel, respectively* Price movements were mixed, however; partially offset
ting these declines was a steady increase in the costs of the services, including rent, which
responded promptly to the relaxation of wartime rent controls*
With the outbreak of the Korean conflict in June 1950, prices moved quickly upward
with all groups of goods and services joining in the rise* Between June 1950 and February
1951, the CPI advanced 8 percent or at a rate of 1 percent per month* After February 1951,
the effects of the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR) of January 25, 1951, placing
controls over most prices, began to be felt and, from February through December 1951, the
rate of advance was slowed, prices rising about 3 percent or 0*3 percent per month*
The year 1952 was one of comparative price stability* With the immediate crisis
past by early 1952, it was possible to relax price controls gradually* Despite the loosening
of controls, the index rose less than 1 percent over the year, December 1951-December 1952*
The Economy and P r ^ s.l.
1953-58
During the years 1953 through 1958, America experienced a peacetime economic
expansion, twice interrupted by recessions— once in 1953-54 and again in 1957-58* Over the
entire 6-year period (December 1952-December 1958), the CPI rose 8*4 percent* During the
first 3 years, there was almost complete price stability, but during the last 3-year period
there was a renewed price rise* Between December 1952 and December 1955, the index
advanced only 0*5 percent* j^From December 1955 to December 1958, however, it rose 7*8
percent*

of price trends during the years 1941-52*

in the Business Cycle, by Ewan Clague (in Monthly Labor Review, June 1958, pp* 616-620)*
l
In J u ly 1953, the Korean truce was signed and w ith i t cane a sharp reduction in
defense expenditures. J u ly 1953 narked the peak o f the Korean period business cycle 2/
and inm ediately th e re a fte r the "adjustment" o r "recession" o f 1953-54 ensued.
A8 in the short recessions o f 1937-38 and 1948-49, during the 1953-54 economic
downturn, in d u s tria l production declined sharply (about 10 percent} but no such sharp
decline was evident in the general le v e l o f consumer p ric e s , j j Food p rices weakened
n otice a b ly in la te 1954 and during 1955, but the re s t o f the index was q u ite firm throughout
the whole p eriod . One o f the p rin c ip a l fa cto rs responsible fo r the seeming in s e n s itiv ity
o f the o v e ra ll index to the 1953-54 downturn was the uninterrupted ris e in the prices o f
se rvic e s.
During 1955, consumer prices demonstrated their insensitivity and tendency to lag
on the "upturn" just as on the "downturn," during sudden changes in economic cycles. The
Federal Reserve Board index of industrial production climbed steadily in the fall of 1954,
reaching its former (July 1953) peak by the spring of 1955, and then continued upward to
establish further highs in the fall of 1955. The CPI, however, rose only 0.3 percent from
December 1954-December 1955* In the face of steady increases in the price of services
(up 2 percent over the year), it was primarily the drop in food prices that held the total
index virtually stable. Price declines for durables, e.g., automobiles, appliances— which
were becoming increasingly subject to discounting— also contributed toward this stability.
The year 1956 saw the end of the relatively long period of price stability that
began in 1952. The Consumer Price Index declined 0.1 percent in January of 1956 and held
even in February, but during the last 10 months of the year it rose 3 percent. Only in
August of that year when food prices dropped sharply from their seasonal peak, was the rise
interrupted. The 0.2-percent drop in August was to be the last decline in the CPI for the
next 2 year3.
The renewed vigor of the climb in consumer prices in 1956 was, to a large extent,
based upon two price developments: First, food prices, which in February 1956 had reached
their lowest point since December 1950, moved rapidly upward; and second, the prices of
durable commodities, which had been declining since 1952, held relatively firm during most
of 1956 and then registered their usual fall spurt with the introduction of higher priced,
new~model cars in October. The relative firmness in durables in 1956, before the seasonal
spurt, was in part due to a steadying in appliance prices. These factors added to the
continuing increases in the cost of services, upset the balance that had been responsible
for the stability in the CPI over the preceding years, and initiated a rise that continued
through July 1958 despite the occurrence of the recession of 1957-58. Services and food
played a dominant role in the continuing climb of the CPI through 1957 and the spring of
1958.
August 1957 marked the peak of another business cycle. The economy then turned
downward and the recession of 1957-58 followed. In the 6 months from October 1957 to
April 1958, unemployment nearly doubled, and the Federal Reserve Board index of industrial
production fell more than 10 percent. In April, the seasonally adjusted rate of unemploy
ment stood at 7.5 percent of the civilian labor force, the highest rate in the postwar
period. Yet in these 6 months, the CPI rose 2 percent. 2/ Although as already mentioned
in the discussion of prior recessions, consumer prices normally lag and are little affected
by short-nan cyclical changes, regardless of intensity, there was a significant difference
this time. During the previous periods of economic decline, any weakness in prices tended
to be most evident in the food category. During the 1957-58 downturn, the food component
played a major role in forcing the index upward in the face of the business decline. This
reversal of the usual pattern was due primarily to two distinct causes: First, the effects

of abnormally bad weather during the winter of 1957-58, which destroyed much of the fresh
fruit and vegetable crops and hence forced prices of these items upward; and second, longer
range factors which encouraged withholding of cattle and hogs from market and thus pushed up
meat prices* 6/ Contributing to the rise in the index was the upward pressure of these food
prices during this period coupled with the continued climb of the services group*
The CPI reached an all-time high (123*9) in July of 1958* Then in August as the
result of a sharp drop in food prices, the index registered its first decrease since August
1956, dropping 0*2 percent* For the next 2 months (September and October), prices on the
average remained unchanged due to the effect of further declines in the foods group offset
ting increases in other components* In November, prices rose 0*2 percent to equal the July
high, because of the seasonal effect of the introduction of higher priced, new-model
automobiles• But at the year*s end, December 1958, the CPI dropped back 0.2 percent as the
result of a further decline in food and minor decreases in several other groups*
Over the second half of 1958 (since June), consumer prices registered no net
change; temporarily, a new price stability had been established*
Special Groups;
1953-58
The "all items" CPI is subdivided according to two systems: (l) commodities versus
services, i.e., the so-called "special groups," and (2) specific end use, i.e*, the so-called
"major groups" (food, housing, apparel, etc*)* In the special groups, the two broad cate
gories, commodities and services, are further divided into such subcategories as nondurable
commodities, nondurable commodities less food, durable commodities, etc*; services are
divided into household operation services, transportation services, medical care services,
etc* 2/
The special groups originated out of the need for groupings of CPI items that
could be more readily related to trends of other economic indicators, e*g., wholesale or
primary—market prices, the Department of Commerced general business indicators, the
Federal Reserve Board index of industrial production, etc. Price movements among the
principal special groups core shown in chart 1, which plots the movement of selected special
group indexes from the year 1935 (the first year for which such indexes are available)
forward.
The most significant movements among the special groups over the years 1953-58
were the strong, steady rise of prices in the services category and the weakness of durable
commodities* During the previously described periods of wartime and immediate postwar
inflation, services, though moving upward, did not register increases of the amplitude
recorded for commodities--between 1940 and 1952, peryices rose 48 percent as against an
increase of 114 percent for commodities• However, in the 6 years, December 1952 through
December 1958, while commodities were rising only 4 percent, the cost of consumer services
rose 18 percent* In this same 6—year period, prices of durable commodities fell 1 percent*
All major components of the services group contributed to its sustained upward
movement* Over the period December 1952 through December 1958, rents, which had already
been partially freed from controls prior to 1953 and which were almost completely decon
trolled after the summer of 1953, rose 15 percent. Transportation services advanced 23
percent, led by a 32-percent increase in public transportation (mostly local transit fares)*
Medical care services increased 25 percent with all its component elements contributing,
i.e*, professional services (doctor, dentist, optometrist, etc*), hospital rates, and group
hospitalization insurance* These individual items along with others are discussed in more
detail in the following sections of the bulletin.

2/ Indexes fo r "special groups" from 1935 to 1958 are shown in the ta b u la r summary,
tables B—4 and B—5*

The almost uninterrupted rise in the services group (it advanced every month
during the 6-year period except for March 1956 when it dropped 0.1 percent, and June and
September 1958 when it held even) was in large part responsible for the insensitivity of
the CPI to the two economic recessions that took place during the 6 years* Because many
services are strongly influenced by custom (e.g., various professional and personal care
services) and a number of others are specifically regulated by public authority (e.g., gas
and electricity, public transportation, telephone, postage, etc.), they are not readily
affected by short-run changes in the economy.
Durable commodity prices declined about 1 percent over the 6 years, December
1952-December 1958. During the first 3 years, December 1952-December 1955, they fell
almost 8 percent and were one of the factors which helped offset the increase in service
prices, thus contributing to the stability of the overall index during those years. The
story of the decline in durables prices centers primarily around the drop in automobile
prices during the years 1953 through 1955, and the decrease in appliance prices during
most of the 6-year period ending December 1958. This story— involving consideration of the
application of discounting techniques in the sale of new automobiles and the emergence of
the so-called ''discount house" in appliance merchandising— is discussed in later sections
dealing with these specific items.
The nondurables less food group encompassed such a diversity of price movements
among its various items during the years 1953-58 that their story is best told in the
discussion of individual "items" in the sections that follow. Food is in itself a major
group and is analyzed separately in detail.
Major Groups of Goods
Sargisesi__ 1222::2g
Retail Prices of Food* Retail prices of food moved upward between December 1952 and
December 1958 but exhibited marked seasonal price fluctuations. In December 1958, they
averaged 4.3 percent higher than in December 1952, and 1.8 percent above the post-Korean
peak reached in August 1952. By July 1958, they had reached a new peak 4*4 percent above
August 1952. However, between July and December 1958, food prices fell 2.5 percent. The
trend of food prices was slightly downward during 1953, 1954* and 1955, and along with the
decline in the prices of durable commodities, helped partially to offset the upward pressure
of rising service costs on the overall index during these 3 years# During 195o, 1957, and
1958, however, the trend was upward# Prices of food as a whole reached their lowest point
for this period in February 1956 (6#7 percent below August 1952) and then began a fairly
steady rise#

and only 0.2 percent below the August 1952 peak. From. July to December 1958, however, they
dropped 5.2 percent and thus, at the year*s end, the meat, poultry, and fish index was 5.4
percent below the August 1952 peak and at exactly the same level (113*0) as it was in
December 1952.
The behavior of prices was different for beef and veal, pork, and poultry. Beef
ani veal had quite sharp and contrasting upward and downward movements, while poultry moved
rather steadily downward. At the beginning of 1953, beef and veal prices were declining
rapidly from 1951 levels, which were more than 30 percent above the 1947-49 average.
Record production caused prices to continue steadily downward through March 1956, but, as
farmers cut down on their herds in response to the low prices, the number of cattle avail
able for market decreased. Because of the resultant short supplies, prices turned up
sharply, rising more than 36 percent from March 1956 to June 1958. From the June 1958 peak,
beef and veal prices fell for 3 months and then rose during the last 3 months of the year;
at the end of 1958, they were 1.3 percent below the June level.
Pork prices, in contrast, began a substantial rise in 1953 in response to
decreased production, reaching a peak in May 1954 of 22 percent above the 1947-49 average,
at a time when beef and veal prices were below the 1947-49 base. As production increased
under the encouragement of large supplies and low prices of corn for feed, pork prices
dropped sharply. By December 1955, they were 29 percent below the May 1954 peak. They
turned up in 1956 and 1957 and rose sharply in 1958 through July. However, during the last
5 months of 1958, pork prices dropped 9*4 percent.
Poultry prices responded to record supplies resulting from the rapid growth of the
commercial broiler industry, declining more than 30 percent from December 1952 to December
1957. In the first half of 1958, poultry prices turned up despite record supplies because
of demand for poultry as a substitute for high priced red meats. In the last half of the
year, however, these record supplies made themselves felt and poultry prices declined in
every month except one.
Fruits and Vegetables. Fruits and vegetables, as usual, exhibited sharp upward
and downward price fluctuations depending upon the availability of supplies. During 1953,
1954, and 1955, price changes were generally seasonal in character, but unfavorable weather
caused shortages in 1956 and again in 1958 and unusually sharp price rises occurred.
Average prices were up 3*7 percent from December 1952 to December 1958.
Prices of fresh fruits and vegetables during 1953-55 averaged somewhat below 1952,
reaching summer peaks each year about 20 percent above the 1947-49 base. In July 1956 and
July 1957, they reached peaks considerably higher, while freezing weather in Florida in
December 1957 brought especially sharp price rises and seasonal peaks occurred several
months early in 1958.
The precipitate drop in the price of potatoes from $1.31 for 15 pounds in July
1952 to 64 J cents in March 1954 was one of the major influences in the 1953 decline. With
adverse weather in growing areas, potatoes jumped to a level in May 1955 almost as high as
in July 1952, and to $1.74 for 15 pounds in July 1956, the highest price on record.
Prices of other fresh fruits and vegetables responded to varying supplies. Tomato
prices jumped 29 percent in the month of March 1956 to an average of 42 cents a pound,
dropped to less than 17 cents in September 1956, and reached 46 cents a pound in April 1958.
Green beans were very high priced and unavailable in many stores in early 1958 as a result
of damage to the Florida crop.
Apples rose to a peak level of 23 cents a pound in 1957. Oranges were unusually
high priced in 1958 because of the serious damage to the Florida crop. In July 1958, they
sold at 80 cents a dozen and reached 87 cents a dozen in September and October before
dropping off. Beaches were scarce in 1955 because of virtual destruction of that year *s
southeastern crop. In July 1955, they averaged 31 cents a pound compared to only 17 cents
7
ig"July 1958, due to a good crop in the latter year.
Processed fruits and vegetables exhibit less marked price fluctuations than the
fresh items. They decreased slightly during 1953-54 in response to large packs, began a
steady rise in early 1955 which lasted well into 1956* and then turned down until mid-1957.
In 1958, prices of frozen orange juice rose markedly as a result of persistently strong
demand in the face of shortages of fresh oranges, reaching 29 cents for a 6-ounce can.
Canned orange juice also increased in price but by a smaller amount. In December 1958,
frozen fruits and vegetables averaged 22 percent above December 1952, and canned fruits and
vegetables, 10 percent.
Dairy Products- Dairy products dropped 8.7 percent in price from December 1952
to June 1954# with a sharp drop in early April 1954 as a result of the reduction in support
prices from 90 to 75 percent of parity, and the increase in production. Prices rose in
subsequent years, partly as a result of Government efforts. In December 1958, prices
averaged 11.1 percent above June 1954*
i
Cereals and Bakery Products. Unlike other food groups, cereals and bakery
products moved upward in price by small amounts but rather steadily, from December 1952 to
December 1958. The total increase over the period was 13.8 percent. The steady rise was
largely the result of higher manufacturing and operating costs.
Other Foods at Home. The other foods at home group, which includes coffee and
other beverages, fats and oils, sugar and sweets, eggs, and other miscellaneous foods,
showed fairly sharp price fluctuations over the period due to changes in the prices of
eggs, but relatively little distinct trend. From December 1952 to December 1958, average
prices rose only 0.1 percent.
Egg prices dropped sharply during 1954 as a result of abundant supplies. Egg
production in 1954 was nearly double that of 1935-39# reflecting developments in nutrition
and methods of raising poultry, and rose to even higher levels in following years. In
January 1955# prices averaged only 52 cents a dozen, and in June 1957, 48 cents a dozen.
By June 1958, the low point for the year, prices had increased somewhat to 55 cents a dozen.
From an average price of 87 cents a pound for bag and can coffee combined in
December 1952, prices rose sharply to an all-time high of $1.23 a pound in August 1954
because of frosts and drought in Brazil. As a result, consumers shifted to instant coffee,
tea, and other substitutes, and prices declined, by June 1955# to an average of 89 cents
or a little less than $1 a pound for vacuum pack coffee. Greatly increased planting of
trees was reflected in price decreases beginning inthe second half of1957 and by December
1958, coffee prices had declined below the December 1952 level.
Housing- The CPI housing group includes residential rents and all items of
expense connected with the acquisition and operation of a home. Subgroups of this index
are rent, other shelter costs, gas and electricity, solid fuels and fuel oils, housefurnishings, and household operation. Due to the comprehensive natureof the
housing group, which
encompasses a variety of durable and nondurable commodities and services, there are often
important differences in price movements within the group.
Two-thirds of the items included in housing costs in the CPI are consumer
services, such as rent, charges involved in purchasing a home, and home maintenance and
repair items. Their steady upward trend was largely responsible for the 10-percent increase
in total housing costs during the 6 years, December 1952 through December. 1958. Housing
costs to the consumer rose 2.1 percent in 1953 (December to December) but increased less
than 1 percent per year in 1954 end 1955. The climb accelerated in 1956, and the following
year, and leveled again through 1958.
Underlying the sharp increase in housing costs in the beginning of the 6-year
period was the rise in residential rents, as Federal wartime controls were completely lifted
in July 1953 and rapid local decontrol followed. The increase in rents between December
8
1952 and December 1953 was equal to more than one-third (38 peroent) of the 14.9-percent
increase which occurred over the entire 6-year period. The 5.7-percent advance in rents
between December 1952 and December 1953 was followed by an average annual (December to
December) increase of 1.7 percent in the next 5 years.
On a national average, the cost of buying a home rose moderately during the
1953-58 period, although about a third of the index cities reported lower costs. For the
Nation as a whole, the 6-year (December 1952-December 1958) increase in mortgage interest
rates was about 14 percent, and a very large part of this occurred between mid-1956 and
raid-1957, in response to a tighter Government credit policy.
Homeowners' maintenance and repair expenses climbed a total of 17 percent over
the 6 years, December 1952 to December 1958. The services associated with maintenance and
repair, such as repainting, refinishing floors, and reshingling roofs, advanced more than
twice as much as did the prices of commodities used in maintaining and repairing a house
(house paint, porch flooring, water heaters, kitchen sinks, and faucets).
From December 1952 to December 1958, the family bill for gas and electricity rose
11.9 percent. The gas increase, however, was five times larger than that of electricity,
20 percent and 4 percent, respectively. Although prices of home fuels naturally vary with
the seasons, the trend has been upward. Coal prices were higher, with bituminous rising
considerably more than anthracite. The fuel oil price increase, a total 13.5 percent over
the period, was precipitated by the Suez crisis in the summer of 1956.
In contrast to most housing expenses, prices of housefurnishings were lower in
December 1958 than in December 1952, by 4.3 percent. They were relatively stable during
1953 but declined steadily in the next 2 years with intensified competition and price
cutting in the retail appliance market. Brices steadied in 1956 and 1957 and again drifted
lower in 1958.
The price fluctuations of individual housefurnishings items were varied. The
major cause of the general decline was the drop in appliance prices (15 percent) over the
6-year period, December 1952 through December 1958. This trend was due primarily to the
radical change in retail merchandising of appliances. Discount houses made inroads into
the market and competition for customers became severe. Regular outlets that did not give
reductions from list prices were caught, at first, between the discount houses and the need
to maintain their prices under so-called "fair trade" statutes. From 1955 to 1957, manu
facturers gradually dropped fair trade pricing and discount competition intensified.
Appliance prices steadied somewhat during the latter part of 1956 and in 1957, but fell
again during the first half of 1958.
The furniture and bedding index decreased 0.3 peroent from December 1952 to
December 1958. Slices for these items declined 3 percent from December 1952 to June 1955
and showed a subsequent increase of 4.3 percent from March 1956 to June 1957, partially in
response to higher labor and material costs (especially steel), and freight rates. The
pressures of consumer demand arising during the general boom in the sales of household
durables also were partly responsible for the price increases during this period.
Until 1955, textile housefurnishing prices fell from peaks reached during the
Korean conflict, led by a 19-percent drop in sheet prices between the end of 1952 and
September 1955. Textile items strengthened slightly the next year and remained fairly
steady through 1958. Floor coverings rose in price through 1957 as material and other costs
increased, though prices in 1958 were reduced.
Apparel,
December 1952, apparel prices had declined 3.8 percent from the high
point in the fall of 1951 during the Korean conflict. Only relatively small changes in
prices occurred during the following 6 years. There was a downward drift in prices for
about 2& years, except for the usual fall increases. This slow downtrend was reversed in
the fall of 1955 and by October 1956, apparel prices were 2.1 percent higher than in
9
October of the preceding year* Some lesser increases occurred during 1957 but in 1958
apparel prices were almost stable (except for seasonal influences), primarily due to an
adequate supply of clothing and limited increases in manufacturing costs* Over the 6-year
period from December 1952 to December 1958, the average increase for apparel was 2*3 per
cent, the smallest Increase shown for any of the major groups*
Among the apparel subgroups, the only significant departures from this general
trend were for prices of footwear and of apparel made of rayon or other manmade fibers*
Footwear prices, after declining 4*8 percent from a high point in October of 1951
to a low in January 1953, edged up slowly until the fall of 1955* From September 1955 to
December 1956, prices rose 7*0 percent, reflecting higher wholesale prices for leather and
higher operating costs* During the next 2 years, the rate of increase was considerably
slower* In December 1958, footwear prices were 3*2 percent higher than in December 1956,
for a total increase over 6 years (December to December) of 14 percent*
In contrast to footwear, prices for apparel made of rayon and other manmade
fibers declined slowly but almost continuously over the 6 years from December 1952 to
December 1958, aside from some fluctuation due to seasonal factors* Although most of these
commodities participated in the decline for a large part of the time and were lower in
December 1958 than in December 1952, the major factor was the persistently lower prices for
nylon hosiery* By the end of 1958, nylon hose prices were 15 percent lower than 6 years
earlier* In addition, rayon and nylon slips and nightgowns had only small price increases
during the upturn in 1955 and then remained stable or were further reduced* Since women1s
and girls1 apparel of manmade fibers are more important in the index than similar apparel
for men and boys, the lowered prices for these articles was the main reason for a small
decrease for women *s and girls* apparel for the 6-year period* All men*s and boys* apparel
increased 0*9 percent, and all women*s and girls* decreased 0*2 percent from December 1952
to December 1958*
Brices of wool and cotton apparel went down slowly during 1953 and 1954* Both
classes then showed general increases of moderate amounts until 1958, when some decreases
were reported* From December 1952 to December 1958, the increase for wool garments
amounted to 2*6 percent and for cotton apparel, 3*9 percent*
Transportation. The transportation group includes both public and private
transportation* Public transportation is comprised of city bus, streetcar, and subway
fares, and railroad coach fares* Private transportation includes prices paid for new and
used cars, gasoline and motor oil, tires, automobile repairs, insurance, and registration
fees*
The overall transportation index remained relatively stable from 1952 to mid-1956
and then moved firmly upward to the end of 1958* Over the 6 years from December 1952 to
December 1958, the cost of public transportation increased about 32 percent, while the
price of private transportation rose a little more than 9 percent*
The advances in local transit and railroad fares resulted from a combination of
increased operating costs and a decline in patronage* Nationwide population movements to
suburbs and a concomitant preference for private transportation caused a decline in the use
of existing methods of service so that companies were unable to sustain profitable opera
tions without substantial fare increases*
Within the private transportation subgroup, dealers* selling prices of new cars
averaged 13*5 percent higher in December 1958 than in December 1952. (See chart 3.) This
price increase did not reflect higher prices resulting from voluntary quality upgrading by
consumers, such as the increasing preference for 8-cylinder cars, automatic transmissions,
etc* It did, though, reflect price increases attributable to the introduction of certain
design and styling features, such as wider windshields, increased use of chrome, etc*

CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
New and Used Cars
January 1953 - December 1958
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS
Each fall, as new model cars were brought on to the market, the new car index
registered a seasonal increase* Then as the model year progressed, dealers tended to grant
price concessions* Reported prices after June 1954 reflected the growing practice of
larger price concessions as the model year progressed*
In the 6-year period (December 1952-December 1958), the volume of new car pur
chases moved inversely to price* Sales of new automobiles rose steadily to a record high
in 1955, a year in which production reached a peak of 8 million cars* However, prices of
new automobiles declined 2*8 percent between December 1952 and December 1955* In 1956,
though, purchases were not quite as great as in the year before* Demand also dropped
sharply in the winter of 1957-58. As of December 1958, however, prices of new cars were
16.7 percent higher than in December of 1955*
Used car prices first appeared in the revised index in January 1953* They
declined sharply until March 1956 when prices were a little more than 30 percent below the
January 1953 level. This drop occurred as automobile ownership grew from an average of
slightly less than one car per household in 1952 to 1*12 in 1957, 8/ and was indicative of
a growing consumer preference for new rather than used cars* From the summer of 1956 to
autumn 1957, prices strengthened, declined in the disappointing market of the following
winter, and resumed their climb at a more rapid rate to the end of 1958* At this point,
used car prices were still 10 percent below their level at the beginning of 1953*
Rising labor and other operating costs were mainly responsible for the 21 •4-percent increase in automobile repair charges over the 6-year period (December 1952-December
1958)* A small rise in prices of tires despite a much larger increase in wholesale prices
was due to an extremely competitive market to which retailers responded with trade-in
allowances, "sale" prices, and discounts from list prices* Auto insurance rates increased
moderately until 1958, when the rising cost of claims precipitated a 10-percent rate
increase in the first quarter (from December 1957 to Ifarch 1958). Registration fees
averaged 18*9 percent higher in 1958 than in 1953, with States increasing their charges
as new cars became heavier and more powerful*
Gasoline and motor oil, the most important of the automobile operating expenses,
were both considerably higher in December 1958 than they were 6 years earlier. Oil prices
were persistently strong but the gasoline prices moved erratically as a result of tax
changes
political disturbances in the Middle East* The Federal gasoline tax of July 1,
1956, raised average prices more than 3 percent and State increases were comparable. When
the Suez Canal closed in November of 1956, American producers geared production to satisfy
probable European requirements* Then when the Canal opened sooner than expected, stocks
were overexpanded* Also at that time, there occurred a reduction in the growth rate of
U*S* consumption. As a result, price wars flared in many areas of the country as operators
tried to move their stocks*
Modi cal Care, In the 6 years, December 1952 to December 1958, the medical care
index increased 23*5 percent* During this period* all of the medical care items rose,
although the degree of price movement varied widely* In December 1958, group hospitali
zation premiums, reflecting the advance in hospital rates, were higher by 49*1 percent
than 6 years earlier; whereas the optometric examination and eyeglasses advanced only 5*2
percent. Hospital rates increased 40.2 percent during the same period, as labor and
operating costs continued to mount* Physicians * and dentists1 fees also increased 21*3
percent and 16*1 percent, respectively. Prices of prescriptions and drugs rose 11.9 per
cent as higher production and distribution costs were passed on by the manufacturers*
When price changes for the various physicians1 services are compared, the

differences are not quite as marked, ranging from a rise of 26*1 percent for an obstetrical
case to 6.1 percent for an appendectomy. Physicians* office and house visits advanced 22.3
percent and 23*5 percent, respectively, and a tonsillectomy was higher by 14*9 percent.
In the 6-year period (December 1952-December 1958), the annual (December-toDecember) increase for the medical care index averaged 3*9 percent. The smallest increase
was 2.2 percent in 1954* due to the smaller-than-average increase for medical services
other than hospital rates and group hospitalization premiums. The largest annual increase
was reported in 1958 with group hospitalization higher by 10.8 percent and hospital rates
by 3#9 percent, resulting in an overall annual, increase of 4*6 percent for medical care.
Family expenses for personal care, which include such items as
men's haircuts, beauty shop services, and toilet articles, advanced a total of 15 percent
from December 1952 to the end of 1958. An important factor in the persistent price advance
was the fact that half of the personal care items are services. The personal care price
trend generally paralleled that of all services in the CPI for much of the 6-year period.
A major cause of the price increase for personal care was the advance in men's haircuts,
which were priced 24 percent higher in December 1958 than 6 years earlier. Beauty shop
services rose about 19 percent during the same period, reflecting price increases for
such items as shampoo and wave set. Toilet goods price movements were mixed but in
general they were higher.
RsfitfUftfl ftrci Recreation. The cost of reading and recreation to the urban family
rose only 8.2 percent between December 1952 and the close of 1958, slightly less than the
average of all consumer prices. Prices fell slightly from December 1952 to the summer of
1955 and remained fairly stable until the following summer, but in the next 2§- years
(June 1956 to December 1958), they rose almost 9 percent. Within the group, there were
divergent movements: Commodities declined while services increased. Prices of television
sets, affected by competition between discount houses and regular outlets, dropped almost
7 percent between December 1952 and the end of 1958. In contrast, movie admissions rose
28.9 percent in the same period. To combat declining attendance, theaters introduced
special features and improved screens and techniques. To offset the resultant increased
costs, they raised prices. Newspaper prices increased sharply after remaining relatively
stable for a number of years. By December 1958, newspaper prices had increased 19*7
percent over the December 1952 levels.
Other Goods and Services. During most of the 6-year interval, from December 1952
to December 1958, other goods and services, which consist primarily of tobacco and alcoholic
beverages, moved similarly to the total CPI, increasing almost 10 percent. Prices of
alcoholic beverages did not advance as rapidly as prices of tobacco products. Cigarette
prices rose 16.3 percent, reflecting industrywide price increases in February 1953 and
June 1957. Higher manufacturing costs and increased State taxes contributed to price
increases for both alcoholic beverages and tobacco.

H is to ry, Scope , and Meaning o f the Consumer P rice Index
The Bureau o f Labor S ta tis tic s ' Consumer P rice Index measures changes in re ta il
p rice s o f goods and services purchased by c it y wage-earner and c le ric a l-w o rk e r fa m ilie s .
I t is an index o f price change, and therefore does not indicate changes in the kinds and
amounts o f goods and services fa m ilie s buy o r the to ta l amounts fa m ilie s spend fo r liv in g ,
o r d iffere n ces in p rice le v e ls o r liv in g costs in d iffe re n t places.
The Consumer P rice Index in roughly it s present form was f ir s t published in 1921
w ith data back to 1913* The basic features o f the e a rly 11c o s t-o f-livin g '’ index, as the
se rie s was then known, included: ( l) An index designed to measure changes in p rices paid
b y a sp e c ific population group— urban wage-earner fa m ilie s ; (2) a n a tion a l " a ll items'* index,
published re g u la rly , based on a c it y sample representative o f a ll U.S. c itie s included in
the scope o f the measure ( in it ia lly the index was lim ite d to la rge c it ie s ) ; (3) a w eighting
stru ctu re which represented the re la tiv e importance o f item s in the typ ic a l wage-earner and
c le ric a l-w o rk e r fa m ily consumption pa ttern as d erived from consumer expenditure su rveys; and
(4) system atic c o lle c tio n o f p rices from re ta il stores and service establishm ents ty p ic a lly
patronized by the "index fa m ilie s" .
The CPI, as published in 1921, was based on data developed from surveys o f fa m ily
expenditures during the years 1917 to 1919* D e ta ils o f cost o f goods in the fa m ily "market
basket" were obtained from 12,100 wage-earner and c le ric a l-w o rk e r fa m ilie s in 92 in d u s tria l
centers* P rice data were co lle cted re g u la rly fo r about 145 commodities, and se rvice s and
indexes were constructed fo r 32 c itie s and fo r the U.S. as a whole. Two other c itie s were
added la te r and the 3 4 -c ity sample was maintained u n til the re vis io n o f the index in 1952.
The base period o f the e a rly CPI was 1913=100, la te r changed to 1923-25=100.
R evision o f 1934-36. In 1934 through 1936, the Bureau undertook a comprehensive fa m ily
expenditure survey and In s titu te d marked improvements in methods o f c o lle c tin g re t a il p rices.
The survey covered buying patterns o f n e a rly 14,500 fa m ilie s in 42 c itie s , each w ith a popu
la tio n o f 50,000 o r more. The 1934-36 survey revealed th a t expenditures fo r food, housing,
and clo th in g had a ll changed m arkedly in the kinds o f goods purchased and in d o lla r volume
as a percent o f to ta l fa m ily Income and expenditure. The re s u lts o f the survey were used
to reweight the index. Sim ultaneously, new commodities were added and the base period
sh ifte d to 1935-39=100. A s ig n ific a n t development was the in itia tio n o f p ric in g according
to predetermined q u a lity d e scrip tio n s. The work o f re vis io n was completed in 1940.
World War I I . During World War I I , the Bureau attempted to take account o f the e ffe c t o f
shortages, ra tio n in g and p rice c o n tro l, and q u a lity d eclin e s, on r e t a il p ric e s . Proper
allowance fo r q u a lity change could not be made, however. No s a tis fa c to ry method e xiste d
fo r measuring "black market" p ric e s , which apparently were frequent during th a t p eriod . The
Bureau was able to re vise the l i s t o f a rtic le s p rice d , however, and take cognizance o f the
e ffe c t o f ra tio n in g by s h iftin g the importance o f weights fo r ce rta in fo o d stu ffs (meat and
sugar, fo r example). Wartime product sp e cifica tio n s replaced those o f peacetime, c o lle c tio n
o f ren t inform ation d ire c tly from tenants was in s titu te d , and other changes were made to
meet the wart line s itu a tio n .
Postwar R e visio n . In 1949, the Bureau o f Labor S ta tis tic s commenced a 3 -year program to
re vis e the index. Before th is was completed, however, the Korean c o n flic t occurred in 1950
and i t was decided th a t immediate changes in the index were necessary, even though based on
Incomplete survey re s u lts . Consequently, an "interim adjustment" was made, using inform a
tio n then a va ila b le and embracing (1) re vis io n o f c it y population weights using 1950 Census
14
data; (2) correction o f the re n t index fo r the "new u n it bias," 2/ to take account o f the
re n t d iffe re n tia l between housing constructed prewar and postwar (Vorld War I I ) ; (3) addi
tio n o f soae 25 new ite a s ; and (4) re vis io n o f weights fo r groups o f ite a s and fo r sone
coanodities.
Meanwhile, the 3 -year comprehensive re vis io n program continued and was completed
in December 1952. The index base was sh ifte d to 1947-49=100. New weights representing
1951-52 spending patterns were derived from the 1950 consumer expenditure study* T h is re
v is io n o f the market basket was the f ir s t basic step in re vis io n o f the CPI.
An in te g ra l p a rt o f th is re vis io n was a complete reexam ination o f the c itie s
chosen fo r in c lu sio n in the to ta l C PI. The form er index represented o n ly la rge c itie s , but
the re vise d index is based on a s c ie n tific a lly chosen sample o f 46 urbanised areas, includ
in g la rg e , m edium -site, and small c itie s w ith more than 2,500 population. IQ/

Revision «f Hnnaing Concent. Although the current (revised) index is not fundamentally
different Aron prior series, important changes in the pattern of living in the U.S. between
1939 and 1950 Bade certain conceptual revisions desirable. In that period, the expenditures
of city-workers' families for housing changed radically, requiring revision of the housing
concept. When the index was initiated, the identification and classification of expendi
tures for housing were relatively simple. Families either owned or rented their dwellings
(shelter only) and paid for fuel and furnishings separately. But as the manner of living
altered, housing became an ever-changing group of goods and services. According to early
family living studies, most city workers rented their homes and the purchase price of homes
and payments on mortgage principal were treated as savings. By 1950, the increased propor
tion of homeowners among wage-earner families required a revised measurement of homeowner
shelter costs. In the light of the revised housing concept, the emission of home purchase
from the index was no longer valid.
In the early versions of the index, prloes of homeowner's maintenance items were
assumed to move like rents, on the grounds that owner housing had been in competition with
rental housing, and many factors which affected rents affected owner maintenance costs
similarly. The assumption that rents and maintenance costs moved together became invalid
during World War II as rents cams under control but home owners' costs in general did not.
Therefore, in revising the index, the Bureau broadened the housing definition to include
all items of expense connected with the acquisition and operation of a home. The purchase
of a home was included in the weights and pricing of both beam purchase and maintenance
items was instituted.
The revised housing ooncept led to seme changes in classification of items in the
index, frier to the revision, the individual items of housing expense, Insteed ef com
prising a separate housing index, appeared in four of the six major components of the CPI:
rent} fuel, light, and refrigeration} housefttrnishings} and miscellaneous goods and ser
vices. The rent component included expenditures by renters for shelter and other items in
the rental price, combined with expenses of owners for mortgage interest, taxes, insurance,
repairs, ground rent, and financing charges in connection with sale or purchase. With the
1953 revision, the calculation of a housing index was started. Subgroups of this index now
include shelter, gas and electricity, solid fuels and fuel oils, housefurnishings, and
household operation. The weights for the new shelter component include residential rents,
home purchase and upkeep, and housing away from home.
The rent segment measures the effect of price change on the cost of renting dwell
ing units in proportion to the number of tenants among city-workers' families in 1952. It
reflects changes in contract rents charged for dwellings which represent all types of family
rental units. Rent information is obtained directly from the tenant by personal interview.
The homeowner segment measures the effect of price change on the costs of acquiring
and operating homes in current markets at the ownership level in 1952. These costs consist
of such items as financing services required to buy similar qualities of housing under the
same mortgage risk conditions as existed in the reference year} the same level of protection
against fire and other hazards as existed in 1952 for a similar quality of house and typo of
risk} property tax payments levied on the same quality of beams owned in 1952; and main
tenance and repairs at the same rate as observed in 1952.
Revising the Index. One of the first steps in the revision program was collection of infor
mation on rent and housing characteristics for a large sample of dwelling units. These
dwelling unit surveys served two purposes: (1) They provided addresses from which a repre
sentative sample of households could be selected for a detailed study of family expenditures,
19
and (2) they provided the baeie data needed to ealeolate and sake the necessary correction
for the understatement in the rent index. 13/
The f sally expenditure data for the 1952 index revision were obtained during the
early souths of 1951. Bureau field interviewers obtained Aron each family in the staple a
comprehensive accounting of its lncoaw, savings, and expenditures during the calendar year
1950. The data obtained included the kinds and amounts of goods and services bought, the
anounts spent for each iteei, and where purchases were aade. 14/ Price Information was also
obtained for an expanded list of goods and services in additional types of stores, to pro
vide data on comparative price movements required for selection of iten and store samples.
Revision of City Sample. By the addition of small and medium-size cities, the city
sample was made representative of all urban places. Selection of the cities to be included
in the expenditure survey was based on two major considerationss (1) To provide a good sample
of the total urban population on which estimates of the U.S. urban spending pattern could be
based, and (2) to make possible reasonably reliable estimates of expenditure weights for any
city in the D.S.
Thirteen large urbanised areas 15/ having a total population of 35.5 million were
included because of their extreme importance from any point of view. The remainder of the
46 cities were chosen by scientific sampling methods Aram among 2,785 cities with a total
population of 55.2 million. In selecting the sample, consideration was given to tempera
ture, population density, community income level, and (in the case of the smallest cities)
distance to a market center.
To expand the sample for expenditure data, 50 additional cities were selected.
Of the total of 96 cities in the sample, 6 had been surveyed during the previous 3 years
and were not included in the 1950 program. Only the national sample of 46 cities is
included in the revised Consumer Price Index. 16/
Converting Expenditure Data to Index Weights. The consumer expenditure surveys
yielded expenditure data which could serve adequately as a firm basis for weights for the
national "all items11 CPI and for the various groupings within the TI.S. index. The same
reliability attached to the weights for the large cities.
General Description. As usual with samples, however, the finer the detail re
quired, the more sampling error, other things being equal. Thus, the expenditure data for
a group of items for any one small city would have mere sampling error than for the U.S. as
a whole. This error was reduced by peeling the data for a number of related cities and
using the average expenditures for the city-groups to develop weights which were then used
for each city in the group.
Under this general procedure, the first step in the adjustment of the survey data
was the classification of items into three broad categories of consumption which previous
studies had indicated were related to level of income. These groupings were: (1) food and
alcoholic beverages, (2) housing, and (3) all other goods and services. Within each of
these categories, items were further classified into subcategories, groups, subgroups and
item classes.

Beginning with the saalleat classification:
1. The relative importance of each item in total expenditure for m a l l groups
of related items was calculated for each city.
2. Distributions of cities by these relative importance figures were examined
for similarities or differences in expenditure patterns.
3. Expenditure data for eities having similar family expenditure distributions
were averaged for each city grouping separately and the resulting average
relative importance was used for each city in the group. The average was
assumed to give a more representative pattern and minor intercity differences
were regarded as sampling errors. Where the range was extremely large,
several city groupings were made. The objective was to minimise the adjust
ments due to sampling and reporting errors, but to preserve city differences
which were felt to represent real differences in consumption patterns by city.
This same procedure was used at successively higher levels, subgroups, groups, etc.,
up to but not including the three major categories of consumption— food, housing, and all
other goods and services, which ware derived by procedures to be discussed later.
1952 Weights. The Consumer Expenditure Survey data relate to the year 1950, but
the new weights were not introduced into the CPI until 1952. Accordingly, two broad types
of adjustment were needed: (1) to take account of changes in basic spending patterns between
1950 and 1952, and (2) to take account of price changes between 1950 and 1952.
The first step in estimating 1952 expenditures was derivation of estimated family
income for each city. Family income for 1952 was estimated from a straight-line regression
of 1950 income of wage-earner and clerical-worker families and gross weekly earnings of
production workers in manufacturing industries. Two sets of regression coefficients were
calculated, one for use with cities having populations of 240,000 and over and another for
cities of under 240,000 papulation. The equations thus developed were then applied to 1952
earnings data to obtain estimated family income by city in 1952.
A number of aspects of the method of converting statistics from the expenditure
survey to weights in the Consumer Price Index have been described in various articles in
the Monthly Labor Review and in BLS Bulletin 1165, Consumer Prices in the U.S., 1949-52.
The following discussion, therefore, deals with certain aspects ef the weight revision which
are of general interest and have not been treated elsewhere. The method of deriving the
weights far housing are covered in considerable detail in two issues of the Monthly Labor
Review. 22/
Food and Alcoholic Beverages. Expenditures for total food and alcoholic beverages
were derived from the 1950 expenditure su rv e y, adjusted for changes in consumption between
1950 and 1952 on the basis of observed relationships between food expenditures and net money
income. More specifically, the 1952 estimated expenditures for food were computed by region
and city-sise class from regression equations of food expenditures and net money income in
1950. From these equations and 1952 estimated income, derived as described above, 1952
estimated food expenditures were obtained. In addition, a variety of data were used to
correct for the under-reporting of expenditures for alcoholic beverages.
Automobiles.
Automobile purchases data reported in the expenditure survey indica
ted abnormally high rates of acquisition, probably resulting from advanced buying because of
the Korean conflict and delayed buying caused by World War II shortages. It was decided,
therefore, to adjust the reported data on purchases to eliminate the effect of unusually
high purchase rates. For new and used cars separately, a normal purchase rate was calcu-

April 1956, pp. 189-196 and 442-446).
21
lated from the change in percentage of families owning cars between 1935 and 1950* Annual
rates of increase in ownership were calculated separately for each region (South, North
Central-Northeast, and West). The number of initial buyers was calculated as the differ
ence between the number of owners at the beginning and the end of the year. Replacement
rates derived from the expenditure data were applied to the ownership figures to obtain
an estimate of replacement buyers. 18/ The average number of cars bought per family was
multiplied by the average price to obtain the expenditure weight.
Television. Expenditures for television sets in 1952 were estimated by differing
techniques, depending upon the availability of data. For cities in which television trans
mitters were located, data on the number of sets in use were available from industry sources
in addition to the data on ownership and purchases from the BLS expenditure survey of 1950.
From the data on sets in use for various dates, rates of sales and ownership in 1950 were
derived. Examination of both sets of data disclosed consistent relationships between sales
(or purchases) during the year and ownership at the end and the beginning of the year.
Where available, the more comprehensive industry figures were used as a basis for adjusting
the BLS survey data. The corrected 1950 purchase rates were projected to 1952 by the ratio
of sales in 1952 to sales in 1950, derived from the industry data on the number of sets in
use.
Other Goods and Services. For this category, estimates of 1952 expenditures were
made on the basis of 1950 expenditure-income ratios for six regional groupings and three
metropolitan areas. The ratios were applied to the estimates of 1952 Income minus expendi
tures for food, housing, automobiles, and television sets. Weights in finer detail— sub
categories and items— were developed from the relative importance of the subcategory or item,
using expenditure data from the survey.
Item Sample. The expanded sample of goods and services includes approximately 300
items, most of which represent a group of items which are considered to be in the same
"price family." The classification by price family is based on similarity in physical char
acteristic, function, and other factors affecting price movements. Appendix table A-3 shows
the items currently priced for the index and the items represented by each priced item. The
appropriateness of these groupings was checked by comparing the prices of the several items
over a considerable period of time to make sure that their movements conformed generally to
the trend in prices of the sample commodity.
Outlet Sample. Prices are collected periodically from a sample of stores and
other establishments where urban wage-earner and clerical-worker families buy goods and
services. These include chain and independent groceries, department stores, drug stores,
and other specialty stores. Prices obtained from these sources are averaged for each city*
For cities added to the CPI in 1952, samples of independent food stores were
selected from listings of all outlets in which wage earners reported food purchases in each
city, stratified by type of store in terms of foods sold, importance of store in wage-earner
purchases, and geographic location within the city. All important chain store systems are
included in the sample for each city. Prices obtained from chain and independent stores are
averaged separately and combined with weights based on sales volume data.
Samples of rental units were selected by probability sampling procedures, from
block listings of the rental dwelling units in each city, stratified according to block
density and location within the area.
For goods and services other than foods and rents, outlets are selected to include
the establishments more frequently patronised by wage-earner and clerical-worker families,

and which represent all inportant typo* of nor chandi ling operations. In the newly added
cities, the importance of individual stores in family laying was established by asking
families where they bought the goods and serrices reported as expenditures in 1950* Stores
of different types mentioned most frequently were selected after checking with local busi
ness associations.
In small cities, where mail-order buying is important, prices obtained from cata
logs are included in the calculation of price change for the city. Also, for small cities,
an appropriate part of price changes for commodities bought "out of town," such as furniture,
is represented by the price change in large cities. Thus, the movements of prices in small
cities included in the national average are based on prices from outlets in the sample
cities, from mail-order catalogs, and from outlets in large marketing centers, weighted in
accordance with the importance of such buying as reported in the 1950 survey.
Population Weights. City indexes are combined into the TJ.S. index by use of
weights proportionate to the population of wage-earner and clerical-worker families in
cities represented in the index. Each of the 12 largest urbanised areas has a weight pro
portionate to its own population. These 12 cities combined have about two-fifths of the
total weight. The other nine large cities combined represent a class of cities having about
one-fifth of the urban population and were, therefore, assigned about one-fifth of the
weight. In addition to its own population, each city’s weight represents all other cities
with similar classification characteristics. Similarly, the 9 medium-sise oities have about
one-fifth and the 16 small cities about one-fifth of the weight. The importance of cities
in the index is based on the 1950 Census of Population.
So—
Limitations.
T .< « lt.tlo n a on Ue.. The CPI is design*! to reflect price movement of a fixed quantity and
quality of goods and services relating to a well-defined class of consumers. The index
therefore cannot be used to measure changes in living standards or cost of living, since both
are responsive to many factors other than changes in prices. Living costs may vary with
changes in family size, income, tastes, and for numerous other reasons not directly related
to price fluctuation.
As a measure of average price change, the CPI dees not necessarily correspond with
the price experience of any one family er small group of families. Strictly speaking, the
index is not applicable to families with very lev or very high Incomes, elderly couples,
ingle workers, rural families, or other groups whose level or manner of living and spend
ing differ from the average of all city-worker families. These groups may spend their In
comes differently and are therefore affected differently by price changes. On the ether
hand, when the index is used to estimate price change for all city families, the limitations
are not considered to be serious, since the wage-earner and clerical-family group represents
such a large proportion (nearly two-thirds) of total urban population. The CPI measures
only price change over time and does not measure differences in price levels between the
various cities for which indexes are computed. A higher index for one city moans that
prices have advanced more since the base period in this city than in others, not that prices
are higher than in cities with lover indexes.
Limitations of Measurement. The Consumer ftrice Index is subject to the usual limitations of
statistical calculations. Certain limitations or errors are inherent in sampling procedures.
Expenditures for goods and services which form the basis for index weights were obtained
from interviews with about 8,000 families; price changes are based on prices of about 300
items, collected in about 1600 food stores and 4,500 other retail stores and establish
ments; rents are obtained from approximately 30,000 tenants. Prices are collected in a
sample of 46 cities. There is also a sample of time, since information is collected only
at certain periods. Because sampling is dene at various levels— cities, items, outlets—
it is not possible to determine such measures of statistical reliability as the standard
error of estimate for the CPI as a whole.

To gain about the ease degree o f accuracy throughout the index, the number o f
p ric e obeerrationa obtained fo r a^y item la determined by ita p rice v a r ia b ilit y and ita
Importance in the to ta l index. Fo r example, pricea o f fre sh vegetablea, which are impor
ta n t in the fa m ily food budget, change fre q u e n tly and have d iffe re n t aeaaonal patterns in
d iffe re n t c itie s ; they d iffe r from item to item and from store to sto re . To measure the
average change in pricea o f a ll vegetables s a tis fa c to rily , a la rge number o f them must be
priced in a f a ir ly la rge number o f stores each month in e ve ry c it y . On the other hand,
men1a n a tio n a lly advertised brand s h irts can be priced le ss fre q u e n tly and in fe ve r
sto re s. S h irt p rice s do not change ofte n, and s h irts o f comparable q u a lity s e ll fo r about
the same p ric e in almost a ll sto res.
The Bureau employs c a re fu lly tra in ed in te rvie w e rs in order to keep re p o rtin g
e rro rs to a minimum. I t also takes precautions to prevent month-to-month p ric in g e rro rs
which might s e rio u s ly a ffe c t the index. S e llin g p rices are recorded as marked o r as re
ported by the merchant, in clu d in g sale p ric e s , discounts, tra d e -in allowances, premium
p ric e s , and special charges. Sale p rice s fo r merchandise u su a lly priced fo r the index
are used i f the sale is o f s u ffic ie n t duration to a llow most consumers to taka advantage
o f the reductions. Discounted p rices are used i f th ey apply g e n e ra lly to a ll o r a m a jo rity
o f customers; they are not used i f offered to sp ecia l types o f buyers o n ly, o r i f affected
p rim a rily by the bargaining s k ills o f the buyer.
The agent is Instructed to re p o rt p rices fo r the same sp ecified item as th a t fo r
which p rices were reported in the preceding p eriod . When th is is not p o ssib le , a su b sti
tu tio n is made o f another a rtic le th a t f a lls w ith in the q u a lity lim its defined b y the
sp e c ific a tio n s •
One o f the more d if f ic u lt problems in the index ca lcu la tio n is the measurement o f
q u a lity changes. In order to elim inate the e ffe c t o f major changes in q u a lity o f the
products, d eta ile d sp e cifica tio n s are drawn up and used b y the Bureaufs fie ld agents in
comparing p rices o f 1 month w ith those o f the n ext. The sp e cifica tio n s provide a d eta iled
d e scrip tio n o f the a rtic le , in clu d in g q u a lity fa cto rs associated w ith p rice as w e ll as
other p h ysica l c h a ra cte ristics th a t are e sse n tia l to the id e n tific a tio n o f the p riced item
from store to store and time to tim e. I f a new-model autom obile, fo r example, includes
a d d itio n a l equipment, the p rice is adjusted so th a t the cost o f the e xtra equipment is not
re fle c te d as a p rice change. However, there are other types o f change which are not e a s ily
d is c e rn ib le , which cannot be evaluated, and fo r which no adjustment in p rice is p ossib le.
F o r short periods the e ffe c t o f th is type o f change is probably n e g lig ib le . F o r longer
periods th ere is undoubtedly a s ig n ific a n t e ffe c t on the indexes fo r ce rta in item s, although
there is no way o f determ ining th e ir e ffe c t on the to ta l index.
The re vis io n o f the CPI was designed to reduce the e ffe c ts o f these e rro rs .
Among the improvements introduced was d ire c t measurement o f changes in p rices o f houses
and th e ir upkeep, restaurant meals, and used cars, which were form erly estim ated by other
items or excluded from the index.
R e la tive Im portanc. o f Consumer Price index Components.
The Consumer P rice Index ia a weighted average o f changes in p rica s o f goods and
services purchased by c it y wage-earner and c le ric a l-w o rk e r fa m ilie s . The weight o f each
item in the index represents the annuel expenditure by the average fa m ily fo r the com
m odities o f which th a t item is a sample in the ye a r whan the w eighting stru ctu re was es
ta b lis h 'd .
These basic value weights represent the q u a n tity o f each commodity or se rvice
m u ltip lie d by the u n it p rice in e ffe c t at the tim e the weight was established. Thus, i f
d ry cleaning services accounted fo r $50 in the annuel average fa m ily expenditure, th a t
to ta l represented some q u a n tity o f se rvice unite tim es a p rice per u n it. The im p lic it
24
quantity might involved in this aggregate remain* constant daring tho pariods batmen
might revisions. 19/
The percentage relationship of the currant Talus might (implicit quantity tines
price) for each item to the total of all item* is referred to as its relatiTe importance.
At the tine of the introduction of new mights, the relatiTe importance of each item is
equiTalent to its importance in the average famity expenditures. With subsequent changes
in prices, howerer, the importance of the various cw o dities and services nay change in
relationship to one another. Thus, if food prices rise and clothing prices fall, food will
increase in relative importance to clothing.
A comparison o f data in columns A, 5, and 10 o f ta b le 2 illu s tra te s the d iffere n ce
between changes in re la tiv e importance and changes in expenditures. Expenditures fo r food
a c tu a lly accounted fo r a l i t t l e more than 35 percent o f the fa m ily budget in 1935*39. By
1950, p rices fo r food had increased re la tiv e to other oom od itle s and se rvic e s, and the
re la tiv e importance o f food rose to n e a rly 42 percent o f the index. That is , the 1935-39
q u a n titie s o f food, in 1950, m o ld have cost 42 percent o f the narket basket valued at
19^0 p rim s . But the 1950 consumer expenditure survey revealed (column 10) th a t food ex
penditures took o n ly about 30 percent o f the budget. The explanation is , o f course, th a t
fa m ily incomes had ris e n more than p rices and, th e re fo re , fa m ilie s had more to spend on
nonfood item s. As a re s u lt, the re la tiv e expenditures fo r food were lo v e r, not h ig h er, in
1950 than in the 1930's. Thus, changes in the re la tiv e importance o f a component re s u lt
from (a) major weight re vis io n s based on comprehensive consumer expenditure su rveys, such
as th a t completed in December 1952; (b) minor weight adjustments to take account o f changes
in the l i s t o f items p rice d , such as the discontinuance o f se ve ra l items in 1955; and
(c) d iffe re n t ra tes o f p rice change among the va riou s item s. In the absence o f a weight
re vis io n in the index, i f p rices o f a ll ite a s changed at the same ra te , th e ir importance
in the index would not change.
I t fo llo w s then th a t, except fo r an in te rv a l fo llo w in g a weight change, current
re la tiv e importance fig u re s do not n ecessa rily represent a d is trib u tio n o f current fa m ily
expenditures. Fam ily spending patterns are affected b y many fa ctors other than p ric e
change, such as income, fa m ily s is e , and re la tiv e a v a ila b ilit y o f goods o f d iffe re n t kinds
and q u a litie s , etc. The re la tiv e importance fig u re s in d ica te how urban fa m ilie s o f wage
earners and c le ric a l workers would d is trib u te th e ir expenditures i f they continued to bqy
the sane kinds and amounts o f goods and services th a t they purchased when the preceding
expenditure study was made (e .g . 1950 as adjusted to 1952). The re la tiv e importance
fig u re s should not be used as estim ates o f current spending patterns or as in d ica to rs o f
changing consumer expenditures. These data sim ply represent the old market basket re
p rice d , not a now market basket.
Table 2 shows d is trib u tio n s o f fa m ily expenditures and index value weights in the
o rig in a l index and a t the re vis io n dates. The 1917-19 d is trib u tio n o f expenditures is
shown in column 1. Comparison o f column 2 w ith column 3, column 5 w ith column 6, and
column 7 w ith column 8 shows the e ffe c t o f the va riou s weight re vis io n s as consumer spend

w ith coloan 5, o r column 6 w ith column 7, o r column 8 w ith column 9 shews the e ffe c t o f
