PREFACE
The present report on expenditures for clothing and personal care
embodies the findings relating to these categories of expenditure that
were obtained by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics in the
Study of Consumer Purchases. This study was conducted in 1936
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in cities in selected size ranges
located in different geographic regions of the country. It was paral
leled by a study of small-city, village, and farm families conducted
by the Bureau of Home Economics of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Both surveys, which together form the Study
of Consumer Purchases, were administered under a grant of funds
from the Works Progress Administration. Cooperating in the
planning and technical direction of this Nation-wide study were the
National Resources Committee and the Central Statistical Board.
The plans for the project were developed and its administration
coordinated by a technical committee composed of representatives of
the following agencies: National Resources Committee, Hildegarde
Kneeland, chairman; Bureau of Labor Statistics, Faith M. Williams;
Bureau of Home Economics, Day Monroe; Works Progress Ad
ministration, Milton Forster; and Central Statistical Board, Samuel
J. Dennis.
The volume on expenditures for clothing and personal care is one
of a number of special commodity and service bulletins prepared by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics from data obtained in that investiga
tion. The results of this study are presented in three series of reports,
of which the present constitutes a part of the third. The first series
was concerned with an analysis of the distribution by income class,
occupation, family type, nativity, and home tenure, of families
studied in selected communities in different parts of the country.
Each volume in that series pertained to a specific geographic region.
The second series comprised reports for the same regions on the
size and relative importance of expenditures for the main categories
of family living, with only incidental reference to the constituent
items in those categories. The third series presents the detailed data
collected in all regions covered by the Study for each of the more
important of these categories. The volumes of the third series contain
detailed tabular material for each category or group of categories,
together with a description and analysis of the findings on clothing
and personal care (vol. III).
The analysis of expenditures for clothing and personal care presented
in this report, therefore, is based on reports from all communities for

which the Bureau of Labor Statistics published expenditure summary
data in its series of regional reports, embodied in volumes II of Bul
letins No. 642-647 and 649. Accordingly, it undertakes to generalize
the detailed information on expenditures for these consumption
categories, insofar as uniformities appear in the data for different
communities, and to point out differences whenever such differences
appear to be present.
Attention is directed to the fact, explained more fully in part II, pp.
538-541, that expenditure data from the Study of Consumer Purchases
do not represent all families in the communities studied, but only those
meeting certain qualifications. The most important of these require
ments limited the expenditure study to families that included a
husband and wife, both native white (except in selected cities where
Negro families also were studied), and that had received no relief
during the year. These qualifications were imposed in order to
eliminate as far as possible factors of economic stress, broken family
ties, and alien customs, which might tend to obscure the analysis of
family consumption in terms of the basic controls established for the
Study. Other requirements were concerned with family composition,
occupational status, length of residence in the community, and several
other minor circumstances.
In considering the material presented in the following report,
therefore, it should be borne in mind that the data do not represent
the groups in these communities that, on the whole, occupied the
least favorable economic positions. The fact that families receiving
relief, those in which husband or wife, or both, were foreign born,
and the broken families (those that did not include both husband
and wife) generally had smaller incomes, was shown in the first
series of reports from this study, which dealt with family income.
In view of the fact that a number of persons outside the Bureau's
regular staff took part in the investigation, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics wishes to acknowledge the services of the following persons
who served as regional or metropolitan directors of field work: Ruth
Ayres, LeRoy E. Clements, Rachel S. Gallagher, Forest R. Hall, Sybil
Loughead, Glenn W. Sutton, Margaret D. Thompson, Georges M.
Weber, and Erika Hartmann Wulff.
Acknowledgment is also made to Frances W. Valentine, Jesse R.
Wood, Jr., and William Loudon, who were in charge of computation
and tables; Joseph A. Smith, in charge of machine tabulation; Dorothy
McCamman, who served as chief check editor; Frank Strohkarck,
Marie Bloch, Ethel Cauman, Verna Mae Feuerhelm, Lenore A.
Epstein, Trusten P. Lee, Mary Wiatt Chace, and Allan M. Winsor,
who were in charge of editing and reviewing.

Chapter I
Family Expenditures for Clothing
While clothing constitutes one of the basic essentials in familyliving, the provision of adequate clothing for the population does not
represent the same kind of urgency as the provision of food and
shelter. Nevertheless, current conventions, as well as the more funda
mental requirements for protection against cold and other adverse
weather conditions, impose minima for persons who undertake to live
normally with respect to present-day patterns of community living
in the groups in which they find themselves. Such minima are, of
course, not standardized for the population as a whole. They vary
with community, with climate, and with socio-economic status. To
some extent, likewise, even subjective differences involve variations
in these minimum requirements.
Clothing represents a category of consumption for which expendi
tures may be more sharply contracted or expanded in any given year
to meet particular circumstances than can expenditures for almost
any other essential. A considerable part of this flexibility clearly
arises from the fact that most articles of clothing are fairly durable,
and that families are equipped with smaller or larger stocks of clothing
that may be made to suffice for most needs if other demands on spend
able funds are sufficiently pressing. Much more than in the case of
food, or even housing, therefore, the level of expenditures for clothing
accommodates itself to the current family situation with respect both
to income and to requirements other than clothing, including such as
those arising out of serious illness or other events involving unavoid
able expenditures above the usual level.
Apart from these factors introducing variation in clothing expendi
tures there is also the element of tastes and habits which are reflected
in wide differences among families 1 of the same composition at the
1 In classifying fam ilies according to incom e in the S tud y of Consum er Purchases a definition of incom e
was adopted that included not on ly net m oney incom e received during the year, but also the net m oney
value of the occupancy of owned hom es and the m oney value of rent received as a gift or as part of pay.

same income level in the amount spent for clothing. Perhaps in no
other main category of consumption is there wider latitude for choice
both in the number and kind of articles to be bought, and in their
unit price. Individual standards of style and appearance vary
widely, notwithstanding the leveling influence of advertising and the
pressure to conform that is particularly evident in urban communities.
In spite of these factors, and others, that introduce wide variations
in the level of spending for clothing among families that are at the
same income level and similar in a number of other respects, the data
collected in the Study of Consumer Purchases indicate rather clear
tendencies toward expenditure patterns of surprising uniformity in
widely separated communities. It is with these patterns, based on
averages for groups that are homogeneous in certain important
respects, that the present report will be chiefly concerned. Never
theless, it is desirable before proceeding to a discussion of these
averages to give some consideration to the extent of the variations in
expenditures for clothing which are concealed in these averages.
Variations in Clothing Expenditures
As a basis for a consideration of the variations in clothing expendi
tures, families in a few selected communities were classified by the
amount spent for clothing during the year. The data for Chicago,
Atlanta, and the Pacific Northwest middle-sized cities are presented in
table l.2
The present study indicates that variation in expenditures for
clothing among families at the same income level appears all along
the income range, but is relatively somewhat greater in the lower and
intermediate income classes than at the top of the income scale. In
Chicago, for example, one-sixth of the families with incomes of $500
to $1,000 spent less than $25 for the clothing of the entire family
during the year, while more than 1 in 20 spent in excess of $150.
Among those with incomes of $4,000 or over, none spent less than
$100, and fewer than 20 percent reported clothing expenditures under
$250. In the highest income class studied in Chicago ($7,500 and
over), where average income was approximately $12,000, nearly 96
percent of the families devoted $500 or more to clothing, and none
used less than $300 in this way. (See table l.)3
2 See footnote to table 1 for definitions of the several types of fam ilies used as a basis for classification o f
fam ilies in the Stud y of Consum er Purchases. See also A ppendix A , on Scope and M ethod of this study.
3 In considering the variation in clothing expenditures along the incom e range it is im portant to keep in
m ind the proportion of fam ilies represented b y any given incom e class. For this reason there are presented
in appendix A figures show ing the m edian incom e and the percentage distribution b y incom e of fam ilies
that were eligible for the expenditure schedule in each city and group of cities for w hich expenditure schedule
data are presented. Considering all fam ilies in these com m unities, how ever, the m edian incom e falls m uch
lower in each city than does the m edian for eligible fam ilies. (See vol. I of B ulletins N os. 642-647 and 649
for incom e material in the com m unities included in the Urban Series of the Consum er Purchases Study.)

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
A comparison of the data for Chicago with those for Atlanta white
families and those for families in the Pacific Northwest middle-sized
cities reveals a fairly close similarity among these communities in the
distribution of families by amounts spent for clothing at any given
income level. There was some tendency in the lower part of the
income scale for a greater proportion of Chicago families to report
expenditures under $75 than was the case in the other communities.
This difference is reflected in somewhat larger average expenditures
for clothing by families at those income levels in Atlanta and the
Pacific Northwest cities. In the highest income classes, on the other
hand, there was greater concentration of Chicago families in the groups
spending above $500 for clothing than there was in the less highly
urbanized communities. This suggests a tendency, in line with com
mon observation, for greater extremes in the level of spending for
clothes in metropolitan centers, where relatively high food and hous
ing costs restrict the clothing allowances of the lower income groups,
while at the upper income levels there is likely to be more occasion for
luxury expenditures in clothing than in cities of moderate size.
Variations in expenditures for clothing differ among families of dif
ferent composition, because of the varying incidence of family needs.
The manner in which this occurs may be illustrated from among
Chicago families with incomes of $4,000 to $4,999. Families consist
ing of husband and wife (type I ) 4 at this income level are relatively
well off. More than one-quarter of them spent over $500 for cloth
ing, while some few spent less than $150. Families with 3 or 4 chil
dren under 16 (type VI) could not afford such a range. They were
too well off to try to dress in any year for as little as $150; as a matter
of fact, none of the families surveyed spent less than $250. On the
other hand, competing demands for food and other needs would pre
sumably prevent such families from attempts to appear better than
“well dressed.” Fewer than one-tenth spent as much as $500, while
three-quarters spent $300 to $500. In other words, especially in
income ranges which allow families to meet basic needs but require
strict economy in the apportionment of funds for higher standards,
the patterning of clothing expenditures is quite pronounced.
In spite of the wide range in expenditures for clothing at the dif
ferent income levels, there was also considerable concentration of fam
ilies within a small part of the range for each income class. Half of
the white families with incomes of $500 to $1,000 in Chicago, Atlanta,
and the Pacific Northwest middle-sized cities spent between $25 and
$75 for the year's clothing. At the $4,000 to $5,000 income level
almost half of those in Chicago and Atlanta, and one-third of those
in the smaller cities, spent between $300 and $500. Among the

Negroes there was a similar concentration of families with expendi
tures between $25 and $75 at the $500 to $1,000 income level, while
among those with incomes of $3,000 to $4,000 nearly one-third spent
between $300 and $400.
When the distribution of families by amounts spent for clothing
are compared for Atlanta white and Negro families some rather inter
esting racial contrasts appear. For example, in the income classes
between $1,000 and $2,000 a considerably larger proportion of Negro
families had clothing expenditures of more than $200 than did white
families at that level. This was true not only of all families consid
ered together, but also of husband and wife families in the two racial
groups.5 The data suggest also that in the higher comparable income
levels a greater proportion of the Negro families than white spent in
excess of $300 for clothing during the year. In general, for families
of all types considered together, there was a greater range between
lowest and highest expenditures for clothing at a given income for
white families than for Negroes.
Average Family Expenditures for Clothing
Although the cities included in the Study of Consumer Purchases
present sharp climatic differences, such as those between New England
and the southeastern States of Georgia and Alabama, or the mild
coastal strip of the Pacific Northwest and the midcontinent States
of Colorado and Nebraska, these differences are not reflected in the
level of average family expenditures for clothing. Nor are differences
associated with different degrees of urbanization well marked when
comparisons are made of families at the same income level. On the
whole, in terms of average total clothing expenditures at least, the
data collected by this study are more striking for the similarities they
present than for the differences, when families of a given income level
are compared.
Among both white and Negro families in all communities studied,
expenditures for clothing were relatively elastic up to income levels
well above the median in the community. Families with incomes
between $500 and $1,000 in most areas spent for clothing an average
of from 6 to 9 percent of their total outlay for current living, while

fam ily size. For exam ple, averages for Chicago fam ilies based on five fam ily typ es varied at m ost incom e
levels b y only one or tw o dollars from the averages for all seven types, and these differences were som etim es
positive and som etim es negative, thus indicating that no consistent bias was introduced throughout the

those receiving $3,000 and over generally spent between 10 and 13
percent for family apparel. (See table 2.)
Average family expenditures for clothing were closely similar in
New York and Chicago. Up to the $3,000 level the averages for the
two cities were generally within $10 or $15 of each other, with Chicago
tending to be a little higher than New York. Above $3,000 the
differences were generally larger, but at those levels New York families
generally reported higher expenditures than did those in Chicago.
For the income range as a whole, however, the level of spending was
sufficiently alike in these two cities to warrant generalization regarding
metropolitan communities in the matter of clothing expenditures by
the kinds of families represented in the Consumer Purchases Study.6

Intercity Differences in Clothing Expenditures
A comparison of clothing expenditures by families in the six large
cities included in the Study of Consumer Purchases indicates that
while there was usually a fairly substantial difference in average
outlay between the city ranking highest and lowest at any given
income level, the increase over the income range was very similar in all
communities, and the averages for the cities occupying an inter
mediate position were close to those for New York and Chicago. The
similarity of the average amounts spent in these six cities by families
with incomes of $2,000 to $5,000 is especially striking. Since the
income range covered in the large cities was not so great as that for
New York and Chicago, however, average family expenditures at the
top of the income scale ($7,500 and over) were below $1,000, but were
about the same as those for New York and Chicago families with
incomes between $7,500 and $10,000. (See fig. 2.)
Families in the six middle-sized city units also followed a pattern of
expenditures for clothing that did not differ materially among the
several groups of cities, nor was it unlike that indicated by the data
for the larger communities. While there was somewhat greater
divergence in the level of spending for clothing among families in
these groups of cities than among those in the larger cities, particularly
at income levels below $4,000, the averages for the cities in an inter
mediate position in the two groups of communities were remarkably
close to each other at most income levels. (See fig. 2.)
Although expenditure data were compiled by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics for small-city families in only two regions, the New England
and the East Central,7 these data indicate that for comparable income
groups small-city families maintain a level of clothing expenditure
fully as high as that in New York and Chicago, and generally as
high as those reported in the majority of large and middle-sized
cities.
When the data for the large and middle-sized cities are considered
jointly there is some indication that families west of the Mississippi
spend rather more for clothing than do comparable income groups
east of that line. At income levels below $3,000 families in Portland,
Oreg., generally ranked high in average expenditures for clothing,
while those in Columbus and Providence tended to be relatively low.
At these income levels, Denver families reported expenditures fairly
close to those for families in Portland, while above $4,000 average
outlay for clothing was higher in Denver than in Portland. At the
top of the income scale Omaha families outranked those in both
Denver and Portland.

w ith those collected b y the B ureau of Labor Statistics.

Among the middle-sized cities, likewise, those of the Pacific North
west were rather consistently high throughout the income range,
while Butte-Pueblo families also ranked relatively high, even exceed
ing those for the Northwest cities at scattered income levels.
It is quite possible that these differences, which were usually not
very large, arose more from differences in prices paid than from
differences in standards of dress, since the cities in which clothing
expenditures tended to be fairly high were those farthest from the
principal centers of clothing manufacture. This interpretation is
supported by the data on expenditures for specified articles of clothing
purchased by husbands and wives.8
Racial Differences in Clothing Expenditures
Average expenditures for clothing by Negro families in the four
communities for which such data are available show a more irregular
change with income than do those for white families, and a somewhat
less consistent relationship among the different units. On the whole,
however, Negro families in New York and Columbus tended to report
smaller expenditures than did those in the cities of the Southeast.
As a rule Negro families devoted a greater proportion of their total
expenditures to clothing than did white families in the same city and
at the same income level. The difference was greater in the Southeast,
where the level of expenditures by Negro families for clothing was
relatively high, than in New York and Columbus.
Family Type Differences in Clothing Expenditures
As might be expected there was a tendency in all communities for
family clothing expenditures to vary with family composition, in
creasing both with size of family and with increases in the proportion
of members 16 years of age and over. Such increases were not in
direct proportion to the number of persons to be clothed, both because
requirements vary with the age and occupational status of family
members, and because other demands on income make it necessary
for the larger families to restrict purchases of wearing apparel for
individual members.9 (See fig. 1.)

1 The 7 family types are distinguished on the basis of the number and age of members other than husband
and wife, as follows:
I No other persons (families of 2 persons).
II 1 child under 16 (families of 3 persons).
III 2 children under 16 (families of 4 persons).
IV 1 person 16 or over and 1 or no other person, regardless of age (families of 3 or 4 persons).
V 1 child under 16, 1 person 16 or over, and 1 or 2 others, regardless of age (families of 5 or 6
persons).
VI 3 or 4 children under 16 (families of 5 or 6 persons).
VII 1 child under 16, and 4 or 5 others, regardless of age (families of 7 or 8 persons).
2Includes families with incomes of $3,000 and over.
fFewer than 3 cases.
FAMILY EXPENDITURES FOR CLOTHING
17
The smaller number of cases on which the averages for families of
the several types are based resulted in averages that showed a con
siderably less regular variation with income than did average expendi
tures for families of all types considered together. For this reason a
comparison at given income levels of clothing expenditures among the
different family type groups indicates that while the level of such
expenditures was quite generally lower for two-person families than
for any of the other family type groups, the percentage differences
among the several groups were very far from uniform either from one
income class to another within the same city or for the same income
class in the different communities. Such differences were often as low
as 5 percent and as high as 30 or 40 percent. (See table 3.) In
Chicago, at all but two income levels, the largest families, containing
seven or eight members (types VI and VII), spent more for clothing
than did families of any other type, whereas in Columbus, where
white families of seven types were studied also, families with five or
six members, at least one under 16 and at least three 16 or over (type
V) were as likely to spend more than the seven- or eight-person families
as they were to spend less. In the communities where families were
classified into only three groups on the basis of number and age com
position of members, those with from three to six members, at least
three of them 16 or over (types IV and V) generally reported the
highest average clothing expenditures. In none of the cities studied
in the Urban Series was there any consistent tendency for the percent
age differences among the family type groups to be greater at one end
of the income scale than at another.
Chapter II
Clothing Expenditures for Family Members
Data on the allocation of the family’s clothing allowance among
husband, wife, and all other family members combined are available
for Chicago, New York, and each of the large cities separately, as
well as for the middle-sized city and small-city groups in each of the
regions in which the Study was conducted.1 Data on clothing ex
penditures for individual family members, husbands, wives, and other
members classified by age and sex, are available only for six groups of
cities, since data on the details of clothing expenditures were not
tabulated in as great geographic detail as were figures on expenditures
for items which are less variable from family to family.2
Expenditures of Husbands and Wives
Expenditures for clothing for husbands and wives together gener
ally averaged between 60 and 75 percent the total family clothing bill
among families of the types studied in this investigation. As a rule,
the proportion of total clothing expenditures accounted for by
amounts spent for husbands and wives was greater in the lower part
of the income scale than at the upper part. This difference probably
results chiefly from the fact that the average number of persons in
nonrelief families tends to increase with income in virtually all com
munities, from about three members, or fewer, at the lower levels, to
3.5 members or more in the higher income groups.3 Thus, in the
allocation of the family clothing budget among its members, husbands
and wives do not appear to have shared disproportionately in the total
when families of all types are considered together.4
1 See pt. II, table 3. Such data are obtained from the expenditure schedule and hence are tabulated on the
same geographic basis as are those presented in vol. II of each of the regional reports on the Study of Consumer Purchases. See U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletins Nos. 642-647, and 649.
a As adjuncts to the expenditure schedule, but not as indispensable parts thereof, families giving expendi
ture schedule data were asked to supply the information called for «n detailed check lists of individual items
of clothing expense for each family member. Since some families were unable or unwilling to supply such
detail, and since some supplied it for certain family members but not for others, the check-list data are
tabulated not by family, but by individual members classified for members other than husband and wife
into five age groups for each sex, and infants under 2 years of age. Since the number of members in any
specific sex-age group was usually not large for individual cities, and, since clothing expenditures are highly
variable, combinations of cities were made in order to increase the number of cases on which the averages
were based.
3 See pt. II, table 1-A.
4 Tables presenting average expenditures for clothing by husbands and wives represent averages that were
weighted by the number of families eligible for the expenditure schedule. Average expenditures by other
family members classified by sex and age represent averages based on the actual number of clothing check
lists obtained for family members of that sex and age group, since no data were compiled as to the distribu
tion by age and sex of the family members other than husband and wife in the eligible sample.

CLOTHING EXPENDITURES
At all income levels except the lowest, wives spent somewhat more
than husbands for clothing. These differences were usually com
paratively small except in the income classes above $3,000. Even
at the highest income levels in New York-Chicago, for example,
average expenditures for clothing by wives were only about one-third
higher than those for husbands. (See table 4.)

1 The 7 family types are distinguished on the basis of the number and age of members other than husband
and wife, as follows:
I No other persons (families of 2 persons).
II 1 child under 16 (families of 3 persons).
III 2 children under 16 (families of 4 persons).
IV 1 person 16 or over and 1 or no other person, regardless of age (families of 3 or 4) persons.
V 1 child under 16,1 person 16 or more, and 1 or 2 others, regardless of age (families of 5 or 6 persons).
VI 3 or 4 children under 16 (families of 5 or 6 persons).
VIII 1 child under 16, and 4 or 5 others, regardless of age (families of 7 or 8 persons).
2 Includes families with incomes of $6,000 and over.
3 Families of types VI and VII were studied in Chicago and the East Central cities only.

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6
It is noteworthy that while the share of the total clothing expense
allocated to husbands and wives varied inversely with size of family,
as would be expected, expenditures by husbands showed much less
relative curtailment in the larger families than did those of wives,
particularly at income levels below $3,000. Since comparatively few
wives were employed outside the home in most communities studied,6
their clothing allowances could more readily be reduced to effect
necessary economies than could those of husbands, the great bulk of
whom were the principal family breadwinners.
Among white families that included only husband and wife yearly
clothing expenditures for husbands and wives averaged between $20
and $30 each in most communities in the income groups under $1,000.
At the top of the income scale covered in the large and middle-sized
cities ($5,000 and over), expenditures by husbands averaged between
$200 and $300, while those of wives were above $350 in two of the
four groups of communities of that size range, and were below $300
only in the New England and East Central cities. In New York and
Chicago, among families with incomes of $7,500 and over, husbands
in these two-person families spent nearly $400 during the year, and
wives spent over $600.
Among Negro families of the same composition in the Southeastern
cities studied, expenditures for clothing by husbands and wives at the
income level under $500 averaged below $12 apiece for the entire
year. Among those few families receiving $3,000 and over, husbands
spent more than $200 and wives more than $400.6 At all lower in
come levels there was comparatively little difference in the average
amount spent by husbands and wives.
In both racial groups, husbands and wives in families with one or
two children under 16 tended to spend less for clothing than did those
at comparable income levels in two-person families, but the differ
ences were relatively irregular from one income class to another and
from one group of communities to another. Similarly, husbands and
wives in families with three to six members, at least three of them
16 or over (types IV and V), generally spent less for clothing than
did those in either of the other two groups of families. On the
whole, therefore, there was at most income levels a rather decided
difference in the level of expenditures for clothing for husbands and
wives between the smallest families and those with three to six mem
bers. In the communities in which seven- or eight-person families
5 See vol. I of U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletins, Nos. 642-47, and 649, for data on the gainful
employment of wives in communities covered by the present study. In general, fewer than 10 percent of
the wives in families of the types covered by the expenditure survey were earners in the cities covered by
the Urban Series of the Study of Consumer Purchases.
6 For New York and Columbus Negroes, data on clothing expenditures by husbands and wives were
not tabulated for the several family type groups separately, since the number of families giving check-list
data was insufficient to warrant this detail.
CLOTHING EXPENDITURES
21
(types VI and VII) were also included in the consumption analysis
expenditures of husbands and wives, particularly of husbands, were
likely to average about as much as they did in the families with three
to six members.
Expenditures by Members Other Than Husbands and Wives
The data on average clothing expenditures by income for members
of the different sex-age groups are somewhat irregular in the several
communities, owing partly to rather wide differences in the number
of persons in a specific group represented by the averages. Never
theless, for the most part, the communities do not appear to differ
significantly from each other in the general level of clothing expendi
tures for family members of the sex and age groups designated, nor
in the relationship among them in average outlay for apparel. Ignor
ing random irregularities, there was a rather persistent pattern of
spending evident in all groups of cities covered by the Urban Series
of the Study of Consumer Purchases, insofar as the level of clothing
expenditures for the several age groups and for the two sexes is
concerned.
Racial differences in clothing expenditures for members of families
in comparable income classes were likewise negligible, but there was
some indication of a tendency for sex differences in the average outlay
for clothing to be less consistent among the Negroes than among the
whites.
Clothing expenditures for family members other than husbands
and wives varied directly with the age of members, except in the
case of the group 30 years of age and over. Since this latter group
included a considerable proportion of elderly persons it is not surpris
ing that average amounts spent by such persons at virtually all in
come levels were considerably below the level of spending by family
members of the same sex in the age group 16 to 29.
At all ages there was some tendency for average clothing expendi
tures of females to exceed those of males in families at corresponding
income levels, but such differences were not well marked among the
children under 12 years of age, nor at the lower end of the income
scale for any age group. With comparatively few exceptions, however, among families above the $1,000 income level, females had
average expenditures for clothing substantially above those of males
in the same age group.7 In the upper part of the income range
average expenditures for females of this age group were often as
much as 50 percent above those for males (See table 5 and fig. 3.)
7 Among New York and Columbus Negro families the data indicate a tendency for male members, agod
16 to 29, to spend more than females, although the size of the sample was not large enough to yield conclusive
evidence on this point.

As indicated above, this group obtained a considerably smaller pro
portion of the family clothing budget than did husbands and wives,
or members aged 16 to 29. In fact, average expenditures were fre
quently less than those for children in the 6 to 11 group, and usually
below those for family members between 12 and 29 years of age.
This was true of both males and females in this age group.
While expenditures for clothing for members 30 years of age and
over rose with income, this increase tended to be less regular than in
the case of most other age groups. Below the $2,000 income level,

average clothing expenditures for that group were generally below
$30 for females as well as for males. In families with incomes above
$4,000 in the communities where data for such families are presented,
clothing expenditures for members 30 and over usually averaged
above $100. At most of the income levels in the various communities
females over 30 had somewhat larger expenditures than did males.
M em bers 16 to 29 years of age , other than husband an d w ife. —This
group ranked higher in average clothing expenditures than did any
other except husbands and wives. In some communities there was
a tendency for the wives to spend a little less for their clothing than
the other females in the family who were in this age group. Most of
the “other” females in this age classification were grown daughters,
some of whom were undoubtedly employed outside the home. Quite
apart from this factor as affecting requirements for clothing, however,
persons of both sexes in the 16 to 29 age group tend to place more
emphasis on personal appearance than they do at any other period in
their lives. It is common observation that grown daughters are
likely to spend more for clothing than do their mothers, particularly
if they are in school or if they have gainful employment.
Average expenditures for clothing by females aged 16 to 29 were
generally in the neighborhood of $30 among families with incomes
between $500 and $1,000, and were between $80 and $100 in families
at the $2,000 to $3,000 level. In the communities where the data
from all families receiving more than $5,000 are combined, females
in this age and income group spent $194 or more during the year. In
the Pacific Northwest, where as previously indicated, total family
clothing expenditures tended to be relatively high in comparison
with those in other parts of the country, the average outlay for
clothing by females at that income level between 16 and 29 years of
age was $240. In these communities, however, the average expendi
tures of females aged 16 to 29 was somewhat less than that of wives
in families at income levels above $2,000.
At the lower end of the income scale ($500 to $1,000) grown sons
and other male members in the age group 16 to 29 years spent be
tween $10 and $40 during the year for clothing, while in families
above the $5,000 level this group averaged between $125 and $150.
Thus, the level of outlay among the low income groups was quite
similar for males and females for this age classification, but higher
incomes, particularly above the $3,000 level, resulted in a consider
ably greater increase in the amount spent for girls and young women
than for male family members of the same age. This fact no doubt
reflects the much greater variety in kinds of apparel that conventions
accept as desirable for women, in comparison with those worn by men.
M em bers 12 to 15 yea rs of age .— Since this group is one representing
family members in a transitional period between childhood and
CLOTHING EXPENDITURES
25
adolescence, it is in accord with expectations to find that average
expenditures for clothing were not widely different for boys and girls
when comparison is made for the same income groups. As in the
case of the older members, however, the differential was usually
greater, both relatively and absolutely, in the upper part of the income
scale than in the lower.
Average clothing expenditures were, almost without exception,
substantially smaller for this age group than those for members of
the same sex in the age group 16 to 29 years; at the upper income
levels average outlay for the younger group was often only about
half that for the older. The families at the lower end of the range
(with incomes of $500 to $1,000) reported expenditures for children
12 to 15 that averaged between $15 and $25 in most groups of com
munities studied. These averages increased with considerable regu
larity with income, amounting to between $50 and $60 for boys, and
between $65 and $85 for girls in families with incomes from $3,000
to $4,000. At the $5,000 and over income level for white families
in the large and middle-sized cities, clothing outlay for boys in this
age group averaged between $70 and $100, and that for girls consid
erably over $100 in each of the four groups of communities. In
New York and Chicago, among families receiving $5,000 to $7,500,
clothing expenditures for boys average $94, and for girls $128.
Members 6 to 11 years oj age.—Among children of this age group the
level of expenditures for clothing differed very little between boys
and girls. In most communities such differences as were maintained
were small, even in the upper part of the income scale, but were in
the same direction as those for older family members, with expenses
for girls tending to be slightly above those for boys. Below the
$2,000 level, expenditures for children of each sex generally averaged
less than $30, and were about $15 for those in families with incomes
between $500 and $1,000. In the communities where data for families
with incomes of $5,000 and over were tabulated together, the average
outlay for children of this age group was between $60 and $70 for
boys, and between $60 and $80 for girls.
Throughout the income range the usual difference based on age
was apparent in the level of expenditures for children aged 6 to 11,
in comparison with those for children in the next higher age group.
At the upper end of the income scale the differences were quite sub
stantial, with expenditures for the younger children often averaging
not more than two-thirds as much as those for members aged 12 to 15.
Members 2 to 5 years of age.— In most communities average expendi
tures for clothing for children aged 2 to 5 did not reach $50 at any
income level below $5,000, and only for girls among New York and
Chicago families with incomes of $7,500 and over was the average as
much as $100. The amount spent for clothing for these children in
26
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
families below the $1,000 income level generally averaged $10 or less
for both sex groups.
At this age level, expenditures for girls were not consistently above
those for boys except in the upper part of the income scale. In all
communities and for all income groups the average amount spent for
children aged 2 to 5 was less than that for family members of the same
sex in the next higher age classification.8
M em bers u n der 2 years o f age .— Since clothing for children under 2
does not differ greatly with the sex of the child, data on clothing
expenditures for all children of this age group have been tabulated
together. The amounts spent were comparatively small throughout
the income range, rarely averaging as much as $35, even among
families in the highest income classes studied. In most communities
the increase with income was more irregular than in the case of the
other age groups. This irregularity may have rested in part in the
comparatively small numbers represented by the averages at some
income levels, but it also suggests that such expenditures were not
very sensitive to income changes, particularly above the $2,000 level.
Gifts of Clothing
The widespread custom of making gifts of clothing to infants is
reflected in the data on the money value of gifts of clothing received
during the year from persons outside the economic family.9 For
husbands, wives, and other family members above the age of 2 years,
the average value per person of such gifts was less than $10 for the
great majority of groups studied. For infants under 2, on the other
hand, this value was more often above $10 than it was below that
figure, and in several communities it exceeded $20 among families at
the highest income level studied. (See table 6.) In consideration of
the relatively small money outlay for clothing for infants under 2
years of age it is clear that gifts of clothing made very substantial
contributions to the wardrobes of such members.
While there is considerable irregularity in the data the value of
gifts of clothing to infants tended to increase with family income in
most communities. This increase undoubtedly reflects the fact that
social convention calls for gifts to new-born children, and the ability
to observe this convention naturally increases as income rises.
8 Except among New York and Columbus Negro families, for which averages tended to be somewhat
erratic because of the relatively small numbers of cases on which the averages were based.
9 Gifts of clothing from one family member to another were entered as expenditures, since they represented
the use of family funds.

Gifts to family members other than infants under 2 showed no
consistent relation to family income status. They were as likely
to be high in the lower part of the income range as in the upper.
For this reason gifts of clothing were far more important in their
effect on the level of living of families in the low income groups
than they were in the upper part of the income range.
The same sex differences as were found in the level of expenditures
for clothing appear also in the value of gifts. Wives rather consistently
28
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
received clothing of greater value than that received by husbands,
while other women and girls of the several age groups generally received
more than did the corresponding groups of men and boys.
At virtually all comparable income levels, gifts of clothing to
Negro families were of smaller average value than were those received
by white families. In approximately half of the income classes in
the two groups of communities where Negro families were studied no
gifts of clothing were reported.10
10 Those readers interested in the effect of individual occupation on clothing expenditure are referred to
ch. VIII of bull. 638, where the effect of this factor is considered. The analysis provides figures on the
average clothing expenditures of wage earners and clerical workers with the effect of income and family size
eliminated.
Chapter III
Types of Clothing Purchased for Family Members
The present-day wardrobe for persons in moderate circumstances
as well as for those with ample means includes a great variety of
articles, particularly for women. How much greater this variety is
than it was several decades ago, however, cannot be readily deter
mined. In certain directions there has undoubtedly been a develop
ment toward simplification in women’s attire, but in others there has
been a trend toward greater diversity to meet the need arising from
the larger number of activities in which women now engage, as com
pared with 40 or 50 years ago. It seems probable, also, that cheap
mass production of garments of all types, in imitation of the more
expensive and diversified apparel designed for the higher income
groups, has made possible a variety of spending for clothing that
was not attempted before factory-made clothes were so widely avail
able and comparatively so inexpensive.
An attempt to itemize with reasonable completeness for members
of either sex the articles of apparel now in current use results in rather
extended lists, particularly if garments are classified by material, such
as into cotton, wool, or silk.1 Certainly the list used in the present
study indicates a wardrobe much more extensive than that shown in
the Sixth Annual Report of the Massachusetts Bureau of Labor
Statistics for the year 1875. In that report are presented the require
ments of an American working woman (income status not indicated)
with those of a Swiss woman of the same class. The list for the
American working woman is as follows:
American working woman
1 shawl, to last 3 years.
5 dresses, to last 2 years.
12 yards of print for aprons.
2 hats to last 2 years.
1 pair gloves.
2 pair shoes.
5 petticoats to last 2 or 3 years.
20 yards cotton cloth and trimming for chemises.
2 corsets.
2 sets of underwear.
5 pairs of hose.2
4 handkerchiefs, to last 1 year.
Collars, cuffs, scarves, ribbons, etc.

and females in the present study.
* Presumably cotton or wool.

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
While this list indicates clearly the changes regarding type of attire
worn that have occurred in the last half century, it also shows very
plainly that, for women at least, the stock of wearing apparel con
sidered customary has increased greatly during this period, particularly
as regards outer garments and wraps. Although the Study of Con
sumer Purchases obtained no data on stocks of wearing apparel
owned, but only on expenditures for the various clothing items made
during the report year, the indicated life of the stocks specified on
the 1875 list suggests the average level of purchase, quantitatively
considered, in any one year for working women of that period. There
can be little argument that the 1875 list, after translation to its
present-day equivalent, would fall far short of meeting current stand
ards of dress for employed women, even those in wage-earner occu
pations in the lower part of the income scale.
In order to summarize the numerous items purchased for the several
family members as recorded on the clothing check lists used in the
present study, these items have been classified into a few broad groups
which represent the principal types of clothing requirements for the
two sexes. For males these groups include headwear; coats and other
wraps; suits, trousers, and overalls; shirts; special sportswear; under
wear, nightwear, and hose; footwear; and accessories. For females
the list is the same exeept that a group comprising suits, dresses,
blouses, and skirts are substituted for the two groups for suits and
trousers, and shirts.3
Clothing Purchased by Wives
At almost all income levels wives spent more for dresses, suits,
blouses, and skirts than for any other group of garments distinguished
in the present study. Among families with incomes of $1,500 or over
at least 90 percent of the wives reported expenditures for such apparel,
and even at the lowest income levels studied well over half of the
wives purchased something during the year in this category. (See
part II, table 4.)
Average expenditures for dresses, suits, etc., increased very rapidly
with income, reflecting the purchase of more expensive garments as
well as the purchase of a greater number of such articles. Among
white families with incomes between $500 and $1,000 a yearly average
of only $5 or $6 was reported for such apparel, while wives in families
above the $5,000 level averaged between $65 and $85. For comparable
income levels the average expenditures of Negro wives were similar
to those for whites.
3 The discussion which follows is based in large part on tabular material presented in pt. II. Since such
material is very extensive no attempt has been made to analyze all detail there presented. Instead, the
summary findings from those data are presented, accompanied usually by tables for selected communities
only and for selected income groups.
TYPES OF CLOTHING PURCHASED
31
Among the articles of apparel included in this group those most
frequently purchased by wives in most communities studied were
cotton house dresses, at the lowest income level represented, and silk
and rayon dresses, at succeeding levels.4 Among families with incomes
of $500 to $1,000 between 40 and 50 percent of the wives bought cotton
house dresses during the year, while between 25 and 40 percent bought
silk or rayon dresses. At the higher economic levels well over half
of the wives reported the purchase of silk or rayon dresses, and among
those in families with incomes of $5,000 or over from 80 to 90 percent
bought such garments during the report year. Cotton street dresses
were also purchased by from one-third to one-half of the wives in
families above the $1,500 income level in most communities. Com
paratively few, except in families with incomes of $3,000 or over,
bought wool dresses.
Since silk garments have been included with rayon in the present
analysis it is not possible to present the average price for garments
of the two fabrics separately. For silk and rayon dresses together,
however, the average expenditure per garment by the wives that
purchased them did not exceed $26 at any income level in any com
munity and was generally under $15. Wives in families at the $500
to $1,000 level paid an average of from $4 to $5 per dress. In general,
the average outlay per garment suggests that the great majority of
wives purchased dresses made, not of pure dye silk, but of rayon,
of rayon and silk mixed, or of heavily weighted silk. Even those
in New York and Chicago, in families with incomes between $5,000
and $7,500, paid an average of slightly under $13 for silk and rayon
dresses. (See table 8.)
The comparative infrequency of purchase of wool dresses may be
explained in part by the fact that dresses of wool were generally more
expensive than those of rayon and silk. With a few exceptions, the
average expenditure* per wool dress was greater at each income level
than were those for dresses of other materials. In addition to the
price factor, it is probable that the prevalence in urban communities
of dwellings well heated in winter has reduced the demand for all
but the thin, sheer woolens that are likely to be too expensive for
clothing budgets that must be closely limited.
Average expenditures per dress for cotton house dresses did not
amount to as much as$2.25, even in the upper part of the income range,
and were around $1 or less at most income levels. Cotton street
dresses naturally averaged a little higher, but expenditures for these
garments were under $7 per garment, even at the highest income
levels.

Expenditures for silk and rayon dresses accounted for more than
Chicago families with incomes above $1,000. Similar proportions of
the totals were accounted for in this way in most other groups of
communities studied. Cotton street dresses, on the other hand,
absorbed only 2 or 3 percent of the total clothing outlay by wives at
most income levels, except among Negroes in the Southeast cities,
where from 3 to 5 percent of the total was so used.

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
Wool suits without fur were purchased by a larger proportion of
wives than were either wool suits with fur or silk and rayon suits, but
at no income level in any community studied did as many as twofifths of the wives buy a wool suit without fur during the report year.
Below the $3,000 income level fewer than one in five bought such
suits,6 and only in the West Central-Rocky Mountain and Pacific
Northwest cities did as many as one-third report their purchase.
Such garments, however, involved considerably greater expenditure
per article, on the average, than did any type of dress, particularly
among wives in the intermediate and higher income groups. In most
communities, the average amount paid per suit by wives was not far
from $10 even in families with incomes of $500 to $1,000; among these
in the $5,000 and over groups it was between $20 and $30. Wives
in Pacific Northwest cities at this level paid an average of nearly $32
per wool suit without fur. *
In most groups of families fewer than 10 percent of the wives
purchased silk and rayon suits. Such suits were considerably less
expensive than the wool suits, with prices generally ranging a little
higher than those for silk and rayon dresses for corresponding income
groups.
While the proportion of wives purchasing skirts and blouses was
comparatively small throughout the income range, this proportion
did increase fairly consistently in successive income classes, particu
larly in the case of silk and rayon blouses. At the highest income
levels studied in the several groups of communities, between one-fifth
and one-fourth of the wives reported expenditures for silk or rayon
blouses, as compared with only about one in 15 or 16 at the lower end
of the income range. The proportion buying cotton blouses showed
much less relationship to income, and tended to be considerably
smaller at all income levels than the proportion buying silk and
rayon blouses.
Average expenditures per garment for blouses purchased by wives
varied rather irregularly among the several communities. Prices
of silk and rayon blouses were generally around $2 or less in the lower
and intermediate income classes, and under $4 at the upper levels.
For cotton blouses wives reported prices of $1 or less below the $1,000
income level, and between $1.50 and $2.50 above the $3,000 level.
It will be recalled from the list of garments for an American working
woman of 1875, shown above, that this list included no type of outer
wrap except one shawl, estimated to last 3 years. Even a very
modest wardrobe of today for an employed woman might be expected
to include one heavy coat and one light coat, with the possibility of
a suit coat or a jacket, and probably a sweater, in addition. Thus,

TYPES OF CLOTHING PURCHASED
35
in the field of outer wraps, at least, the trend since the last quarter of
the 19th century has clearly been toward greater diversity in women’s
apparel.
In the higher income classes, coats and other wraps ranked next to
dresses and suits in the proportion of wives’ clothing expenditures
which they absorbed. In most communities, however, fewer than
half of the wives in income classes below $2,000, incurred expenses
for coats or other wraps during the report year, and among the fami
lies receiving $500 to $1,000, only one-third to one-fourth of the wives
purchased such apparel. At the top of the income scale in New
York and Chicago more than three-fourths of the wives bought some
type of coat or wrap during the year.
Average expenditures by wives for coats and other wraps, like
those for dresses and suits, increased markedly over the income range,
from under $5 in the lowest income classes studied to more than five
times that amount among families above the $3,000 level in most
communities. While this increase reflected the growing proportion
of families that purchased such garments, it represented also the
larger average purchase price paid and, to some extent, the growing
number of wives that bought more than one coat during the year.
Thus, among the wives that reported expenditures for coats and other
wraps, average expenditures at the $500 to $1,000 income level gen
erally varied between $10 and $20, while above the $3,000 level these
averages were above $40 in most groups of communities and for both
racial groups.6 In New York and Chicago, wives at the top of the
income scale covered in the survey, who reported outlay for coats and
wraps, spent an average of $180 for such apparel.
In all groups of communities except the Southeast, wives reported
the purchase of light wool coa;s more frequently than either heavy
coats with fur or heavy coats without fur. Since, however, the amount
paid for heavy coats was much greater than that for light coats the
former constituted a more important part of the clothing budget than
the latter.
Among wives in families with incomes between $500 and $1,000
scarcely 1 in 20 reported the purchase of a heavy coat with fur, and
not many more bought heavy coats without fur. Thus, if it is assumed
that none at this economic level purchased two heavy coats in the
same year, it appears that only about 1 wife in 8 in such families
bought a heavy coat. This cannot be taken to mean necessarily
that replacement occurred on an average of only once in 8 years
among wives in families below the $1,000 income level, since it is
s Here and subsequently in the report, when average expenditures for specific items or groups of items
are presented for family members that incurred such expense, the averages were computed by dividing the
averages based on all members of the group by the corresponding percentages of the members of that group
that reported expense for the item in question.
36

probable that some of the wives in these income groups got along
without heavy coats or obtained used coats as gifts. Among the
wives buying coats, therefore, the frequency of purchase was prob
ably somewhat greater than one every 8 years.7
Data on expenditure per article for the several types of wraps pur
chased by wives reporting details of clothing expenditures indicates
that there was a tendency, particularly at the higher income levels,
for wives to spend as much or more for heavy coats with fur as for
heavy coats without fur and for light wool coats, combined. In the
New England and East Central large and middle-sized cities, for
example, average expenditures per coat for heavy coats with fur rose
from about $27 at the $500 to $1,000 level to $84 among wives in
families receiving $5,000 and over. Over the same income range
average prices paid for heavy coats without fur varied from $12 to
$40, and light wool coats from $11 to $25.
Among families with incomes of $3,000 and over, approximately
20 percent of the wives purchased heavy coats with fur. The pro
portion in these same income groups buying heavy coats without
fur varied much more widely in the several groups of communities,
ranging from 8 percent among white families in New York and Chicago
to 22 percent for Negroes in New York and Columbus. Although
some wives at the higher income levels doubtless bought both types
of heavy coat in the same year, it is probable that the number was
not large enough to introduce a serious error if the two percentages
are combined to obtain an indication of the approximate frequency
of purchase of heavy coats by wives in families above the $3,000
level. Thus, on the average, one-third or more of the wives at this
economic level bought heavy coats during the year, suggesting replace
ment approximately every third year.
Since women’s heavy coats are likely to be the most expensive
individual garment in the wardrobe, it is interesting to note the
proportion of their total clothing expenditures allocated by wives to
such apparel. Because of the irregularity of purchase, there is also
wide variation in the percentage of total clothing expenditures by
wives shown as going to heavy coats. In New York and Chicago,
wives spent from 5 to 11 percent of their total clothing outlay for
heavy coats with fur. In the other communities such garments
tended to take rather smaller proportions of the total. In the cities
studied there appeared to be no relationship, either direct or inverse,
between family income and the proportion of total clothing expendi
tures of wives that was allocated to heavy coats with fur.
7 It is probable, also, that the nonrelief income groups below $1,000 include a number of families that do
not remain at that level for any considerable number of years consecutively, so that the rate of replacement
of garments cannot be approximately ascertained for families at that level.

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
Underwear, nightwear, and hose together comprised a very im*
portant element in the clothing expenditures of wives, particularly
in the lower part of the income scale. In the lowest income classes
studied in most groups of communities, average expenditures for such
garments exceeded those for dresses, suits, and blouses, and they
generally exceeded those for coats and other wraps among families
receiving incomes of less than $3,000. Among white families in almost
all communities more than 95 percent of the wives at every income
level reported expenditures for articles in this category, and above the
$2,000 level more than 98 percent had such expenditures. Among
Negroes, fewer than 90 percent of the wives in families below the $500
income levels reported the purchase of any underwear, nightwear, or
hose during the year, but all wives in families with incomes of $2,000
and over made expenditures in this category.
The average outlay for these items of apparel was generally between
$5 and $6 among families with incomes of $500 to $1,000, amounts
very similar to those spent for dresses and suits by the same economic
group. Above that level average outlay increased quite regularly,
but only moderately with income, and the level of spending for under
wear and hose was usually around $40 for the year by wives in families
with incomes of $5,000 and over in the large and middle-sized cities.
For corresponding income groups, average amounts spent for these
articles was very similar for white and Negro families.
One of the striking differences between a present-day list of women's
garments and the list for an American working woman of 1875 lies
in the relative importance of hose in the wardrobe at the two periods.
The 1875 list called for 5 pairs of hose, presumably heavy cotton or
wool hose, designed, it may be assumed, to last 1 year. Current
American standards of appearance, even among comparatively low
income groups, call for silk hose, and the ephemeral life of such hose
means that many women buy a dozen and a half or two dozen pairs
of hose during 1 year.8 While the present study does not provide
for the separate analysis of clothing expenditures by wives with gainful
employment, it is well known that those working outside their homes
commonly have considerably higher average expenditures for clothing,
particularly for hose, than do those employed only as housewives.
In this connection it is of interest to examine data on purchases of
hose by wives and other females in the age group 16 to 29 years. (See
tables 9 and 10.) Among wives in both white and Negro families the
purchase of silk hose9 was reported by well over 80 percent of the
8 A not inconsiderable number of employed wives and other females reported the purchase of a pair of
hose every week.
* In the present study expenditures for silk and rayon hose were not reported separately, but the com
paratively small production of rayon hose in the United States suggests that most of even the inexpensive
hose, other than cotton, were probably made of silk.

TYPES OF CLOTHING PURCHASED
wives even in families with incomes between $500 and $1,000.10 This
percentage rose with income, so that all but a very small percentage
in families above the $3,000 level had such expenditures. Purchases
of cotton hose, on the other hand, were generally inversely related to
income. Between 10 and 20 percent of the wives at the low income
levels bought cotton hose during the year, while an average of scarcely
5 percent made such purchases in the income groups above $2,000.

Average expenditures for silk hose by wives buying such hose was
generally under $5 at the $500 to $1,000 income level, but averaged
above $15 at the upper end of the income scale. The relative im
portance of hose in women’s clothing budgets today is attested by the
fact that average expenditures by hose for all wives and for all females
aged 16 to 29 years accounted for at least 10 percent of their respective
total clothing outlays throughout the greater part of the income range
covered in the several groups of communities.
Among women in New York and Chicago silk hose absorbed an
average of close to one-sixth of all clothing expenditures for these
members in the income groups under $2,000. Above the $4,000 level
such hose generally took less than one-tenth of the total. On the
whole, silk hose occupied a somewhat more important position in the
clothing expenditures of New York and Chicago women than of those
in the smaller communities. Between white and Negro families in
the Southeast, there was no consistent difference in the proportion of
total clothing outlay allocated to such hose.
Although silk hose thus took substantial portions of the amounts
spent for clothing by wives and other young adult females in the

wives at that income level Durchased silk hose during the year.

families studied, the unit price paid per pair by wives were relatively

group paid only about $1 per pair, while the average for those below
the $2,000 income level was usually under 75 cents. (See part II,

Footwear, like underwear, nightwear, and hose, was a relatively
inelastic category of clothing expenditure among the wives studied.
Except among Negro families at the bottom of the income scale at
least nine wives out of ten reported expenditures for footwear during
the year. Average expenditures, therefore, were not materially dif
ferent whether based on all wives or only on the wives that purchased
footwear. Among families with incomes between $500 and $1,000
the amounts reported averaged about $5, while at the $5,000 and over
level in the large and middle-sized cities they were about $25.
The increase with income in expenditures for footwear, which was
quite regular in the several groups of communities, resulted both from
the fact that wives at the higher economic levels bought more shoes
and from the somewhat higher average prices paid per pair. Both
street shoes and dress shoes purchased by wives in families below the
TYPES OF CLOTHING PURCHASED
41
$2,000 income level averaged between $3 and $4. At the top of the
income scale, wives paid an average of about $6 or $7 for street and
dress shoes. It is clear that the increased number of pairs purchased
in a year was more responsible for the larger outlays for footwear in
successive income classes than was the higher price paid per pair.
Although hats have generally been considered a very important part
of women’s wardrobes, at the present time this importance does not
come primarily from the amounts spent for such apparel. While well
over half of the wives at all income levels purchased one or more hats
during the year, expenditures for headwear occupied a relatively small
place in their total clothing outlays. Average expenditures for headwear by wives was less than $10 for the year in all income groups be
low $4,000, and did not reach $20 in any income group except the
$7,500 and over group in New York and Chicago.
The data on average quantities purchased for hats of felt, straw,
and fabric, indicate that most wives above the lowest income levels
studied purchased more than one hat during the year. For example,
in New York and Chicago, average expenditures for headwear by
wives in families with incomes of $1,500 to $2,000 were about $4. At
this level, however, the average price paid for hats either of felt,
straw, or fabric was only slightly above $2. Since only 87 percent of
the wives at that income level in these metropolitan centers reported
any expenditure for headwear during the year of the Study, the
average number of hats for the wives that made such purchases was
a little more than two. At the highest income levels studied in these
cities, where average expenditures per hat were between $4 and $5,
an average of approximately five hats were purchased during the year.
The types of wearing apparel so far discussed accounted for all but
relatively small proportions of the clothing outlay of wives in the cities
studied. The remaining groups of items include special sportswear
such as bathing suits or ski costumes, jewelry and accessories, mater
ials and paid help for making garments, and expenditures for cleaning,
pressing,and repairing garments. All of these items together amounted
to less than $6 for the year among families below the $1,500 level in all
cities except the Pacific Northwest. There was, however, a fairly
rapid rise with income in the amounts spent for the miscellaneous
articles and services, particularly for accessories, such as purses,
gloves, handkerchiefs, umbrellas, and jewelry. Accordingly, average
expenditures for accessories at the upper end of the income scale were
generally as high as, or higher than, outlay for headwear. For
special sportswear, accessories, and miscellaneous clothing expendi
tures together, wives in the income groups above $5,000 in the large
and middle-sized cities spent from about $30 to $40, or not far from
the same average amount reported for underwear, nightwear, and
hose.
42
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
Most wives in the communities studied spent relatively little for
cleaning and pressing services during the year. At the $500 to
$1,000 income level fewer than one-third reported such expenditures,
and the average outlay for those reporting them was under $2, in
every group of cities except the Pacific Northwest, and among New
York and Columbus Negroes. The proportion of wives utilizing such
services increased rapidly with income, exceeding 50 percent above
the $1,500 level, and amounting to 90 percent or more among families
with incomes of $5,000 or over in the large and middle-sized cities.
At this latter level the wives who reported outlay for cleaning and
pressing spent an average of close to $1 monthly.11

The data on expenditures by wives per article for selected articles
of apparel indicate that for most of the items listed in table 8, wives
in the Pacific Northwest cities paid rather more than did those at
comparable income levels in other groups of communities. The chief
exception to this appeared in the case of heavy coats, both with and
without fur, for which wives in these Pacific Northwest cities generally
spent less than did wives elsewhere. A partial explanation for rela
tively low prices paid for coats in those cities may lie in the fact that
the comparatively mild winters on the coastal strip make it unneces
sary to buy as heavy coats as those worn in areas with more severe
winters. Coats not interlined are likely to be somewhat less expen
sive than those that have interlinings.12 As regards prices paid for
other garments, it is not possible to state whether wives in the Pacific
Northwest cities tended to purchase articles of a somewhat more expen
sive type, or whether the difference was due to retail price differences
between that region and others studied. It seems probable, however,
that the latter factor was of more influence than the former, since the
Pacific Northwest cities are farther from centers of clothing and
textile manufacture than are others included in the investigation.13
Clothing Purchased by Husbands
On the whole, the data showing husbands’ clothing expenditures'
classified into the main items and groups of items reveal considerable
uniformity among the various communities not only in the apportion
ment of clothing expenditures of husbands among the various types
of wearing apparel, and in the relative frequency of purchase of the
different garments, but also in the relationship between income and
the pattern of clothing expenditures. Disregarding occasional irregu
larities, there is comparatively little in these data to indicate clear
differences among communities in different parts of the country,
among cities of different size, nor, for comparable income groups,
between whites and Negroes.
Among husbands, the group of clothing items representing suits
and trousers ranked first in average amount spent at each income
level in every community studied. Except among Negro families in
New York and Columbus, more than half of the husbands at each
income level studied reported expenditures for such apparel. In
most cities at least 9 out of 10 of the husbands in families with incomes
of $3,000 and over had expenditures for these garments, but at no
Climatic differences, however, do not explain the fact that among Southeast white families the prices
paid by wives for heavy coats averaged fully as high as did those in the New England and East Central, or
West Central and Rocky Mountain cities.
ia According to the report of the Works Progress Administration on Intercity Differences in Costs of Living
in 59 Cities, March 1935, the cost of clothing in Portland, Oreg., was higher than in all but a few of the 59
cities included in that investigation.

income level in any group of communities did every husband report
outlay for such items. (See part II, table 4.)
At most economic levels suits and trousers (including overalls)
accounted for about one-third of the average clothing expenditures
of husbands. There was a tendency for this group of garments to
absorb a larger proportion of the total at the upper end of the income
scale than at the lower. Thus, among families at the $500 to $1,000
level, average expenditures by husbands for suits, trousers, and over
alls were between $5 and $10, while among those in the group receiving
$5,000 and over in the communities where families above the $5,000
level were grouped together, average expenditures were around $70.
New York and Chicago husbands in families with incomes of $7,500
and over spent over $130 during the year for these garments. Since
so high a proportion of husbands had expenditures for suits or trousers,
the average outlay by those reporting such expenditures was not
generally materially higher than the average for all husbands in the
group.
Although well over half of the husbands reported expenditures
during the year for some article in the group comprising suits, trousers,
and overalls, the proportion that bought heavy wool suits was very
much smaller than this at all income levels. In general, fewer than
10 percent of the husbands in families with incomes below $1,000
bought heavy wool suits, and the proportion buying light wool suits
was little greater. Among families above the $5,000 level, on the
other hand, more than half purchased heavy wool suits, and more than
half, light wool suits. While no data are available as to the number
buying both types of suit during the year it is evident that a fair pro
portion at these upper income levels did incur expense for both heavy
and light wool suits.
Average prices paid for heavy wool suits by husbands purchasing
such garments were between $18 and $25 among families with in
comes of $500 to $1,000. Average prices rose consistently with income
in each group of coipmunities, and amounted to between $40 and $50
at the income level of $5,000 and over in the large and middle-sized
cities. Average expenditures per suit for light wool suits were gener
ally somewhat less than those for heavy wool suits, increasing over
the same income range from between $16 and $20 to from $30 to $35
in most communities. (See table 12.)
Men’s heavy and light wool suits together accounted for 20 percent
or more of total clothing expenditures of husbands at virtually all
income levels except the lowest in the various groups of communities
included in the investigation. In the upper part of the income range
not far from 30 percent of the total was accounted for by these gar
ments. Husbands in Negro families in the Southeast cities devoted
about the same proportion of their total clothing outlay to these
items as did those in white families at comparable income levels

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5-3 6
Except in the upper part of the income range, shoes and other foot
wear were next in importance to suits and trousers in husbands*
clothing expenditures. Because of the limited durability of shoes,
and because they can less easily be exchanged among family members
than many other articles of apparel it is not surprising that a relatively
high proportion of husbands reported expenditures for footwear at all
income levels.
Among husbands in families with incomes of $500 to $1,000, the
average yearly expenditure for footwear was between $4 and $6. At
the $5,000 and over level approximately four times this amount was
spent. These data indicate that footwear is a considerably less elastic
item in the clothing budget than are suits and trousers. A part of this
relative inelasticity is accounted for by the fact noted above, that the
percentage buying shoes during the year increased very little with
income, so that increases in average outlay came only from the greater
number of pairs purchased per person and the higher average price.
Husbands in families with incomes of $500 to $1,000 spent between
$3 and $4 per pair for street shoes. The average price per pair pur
chased by husbands rose quite consistently in successive income classes,
approximately doubling between the lowest and highest income class
studied in the several groups of communities. There were no wellmarked differences among the several communities in the average price
paid by husbands at any given income level, except in the Pacific
Northwest communities, where the prices averaged considerably
higher than in the New England and East Central small cities. The
comparative nearness of these latter communities to the shoe-manu
facturing centers may help to account for the relatively low prices
paid by husbands for street shoes in that group of cities.
The data on average quantities purchased for street shoes indicate
that, above the lowest income group studied, husbands averaged not
far from two pairs per year at the intermediate income levels, and
between two and three pairs above that level.
Expenditures for overcoats and other wraps were very small among
husbands in families at the lower end of the income scale, but they
rose fairly rapidly with income to rank generally above expenditures
for footwear among those at the highest economic levels studied. One
reason for the relatively rapid increase in average expenditures is the
fact that the proportion incurring expense for such garments also rose
sharply in successive income classes. Below the $1,000 income level
between one-fifth and one-third of the husbands bought overcoats,
jackets or sweaters, while more than half purchased such garments,
beginning as low as the $1,500 level in some groups of cities, and as
high as the $3,000 level in others.14
14 In the Southeastern cities, fewer than half of the husbands reported expenditures for coats and other wraps
at every level below $5,000. This difference may be related to the comparative mildness of the climata in
that region.
TYPES OE CLOTHING PURCHASED
47
The expenditures for overcoats and other outer wraps at the low
income levels chiefly represented the less expensive garments such as
jackets and sweaters, since even for the husbands that reported outlay
for articles in this category the average amount spent was generally
less than $10 at income levels under $1,500. In families below the
$2,000 level fewer than one husband in six purchased an overcoat
during the year.15 The proportion purchasing overcoats varied rather
widely among husbands at the higher economic levels; more than
two-fifths of those in the Pacific Northwest cities in families above the
$5,000 level bought such apparel, as compared with fewer than one in
four in the Southeast. The proportion in the other groups of com
munities was about one-third at this income level. Largely because of
the relatively small percentage of husbands at a given income level
in the Southeast that bought coats, average expenditures for this group
of garments were generally lower there than in the other communities.
Only above the $5,000 level, did their average expenditures for coats
and other wraps amount to as much as $10.
Among the husbands who bought overcoats during the report year
average expenditures per garment rose in successive income classes
from between $15 and $25 at the $500 to $1,000 income level to $40
or more among families with incomes of $5,000 and over. Husbands
in Negro families spent about the same amount per overcoat as did
those in white families at comparable income levels (see table 12).
There was little uniformity among the groups of cities in the pro
portion of husbands purchasing topcoats. In all communities, how
ever, the proportion was small at the low and intermediate income
levels, and increased in successive income classes. Only one or two
percent of the husbands at the $500 to $1,000 income level had such
expenditures, but at the upper end of the income scale among families
receiving $5,000 and over, the proportion varied from 8 percent in the
Pacific Northwest cities to nearly 30 percent in the New England and
East Central cities. As a rule average expenditures per coat for these
lighter garments were considerably less than those for overcoats
purchased by husbands at the same income level, the difference often
amounting to as much as 50 percent.
In the lower part of the income range, wool sweaters were purchased
by a substantially greater proportion of the husbands than were
either overcoats or topcoats. In most communities, the proportion
reporting such expenditures was somewhat higher at the top of the
income scale than at the bottom, but because of the fairly small ex
pense involved in the purchase of sweaters, income had much less effect
on frequency of purchase than in the case of the more expensive
garments. In most communities the proportion of husbands buying
55 Except among New York and Columbus Negro families at the $1,500 to $2,000 level, where more than
one-fifth of the husbands purchased overcoats in the year covered by the Study.
48
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5-3 6
wool sweaters varied between 10 and 20 percent along the income range.
The average prices paid by husbands for sweaters, like those for
other garments, rose in successive income classes from between $2
and $3 among families with incomes of $500 to $1,000 to between $4
and $5 in the highest income groups studied.
The group of articles included in underwear, nightwear, and hose
generally absorbed almost as large as a share of husbands’ total cloth
ing expenditures as did footwear, and more than, coats and other wraps
in the lower and intermediate parts of the income range. These
articles, like those for footwear, were a relatively inelastic element in
husbands’ clothing budgets, the increase in average expenditures in
most communities being only about fourfold between the two extremes
of the income scale.
With a few scattered exceptions, 95 percent or more of the husbands
in white families reported expenditures for one or more of the items
included in this group. Among the Negroes the proportion varied
rather irregularly between 70 and 98, without any very close relation
to income. In both racial groups the proportion was high enough so
that average expenditures by husbands spending for this category
generally differed little from the averages based on all husbands.
On the latter basis, the amounts spent by husbands averaged a little
below $4 among families with incomes of $500 to $1,000 and between
$15 and $18 at the $5,000 and over level in the large and middle-sized
cities. Husbands in New York and Chicago families with incomes
of $7,500 and over reported an average outlay for the year for under
wear and hose of $30.
As in the case of wives, the most frequently purchased articles in
this group were hose. Husbands appeared to get along with less
frequent purchases of hose than did wives, however, since fewer than
two-thirds bought either cotton dress hose or rayon and silk hose.
The proportion of husbands buying cotton dress hose was much
greater than the proportion of wives buying them, and in most com
munities, except at the upper end of the income scale, cotton hose
were purchased by a greater percentage of husbands than were those
of silk and rayon. Only above the $5,000 income level did the pro
portion buying silk and rayon hose equal or exceed 50 percent in all
communities surveyed.
Average prices paid by husbands for hose were comparatively small,
even for those of silk and rayon. Below the $2,000 income level the
average price paid for cotton hose was under 25 cents, and for silk and
rayon hose 35 cents or less. Even among families at the highest in
come level studied in the several groups of communities the average
price for cotton hose was generally under 50 cents, and for silk and
rayon, under 60 cents.
TYPES OP CLOTHING PURCHASED

Among white families in all groups of communities studied except
New York and Chicago at least three-fourths of the husbands reported
expenditures for shirts during the year of the Study, even at the lower
end of the income scale. In general, between 8 and 9 husbands in 10
had such expenditures, with the proportion somewhat higher at the
upper economic levels than at the lower. Average expenditures rose
from under $3 for the year to about $15 among husbands in families
above the $5,000 level in the large and middle-sized cities. In New
York and Chicago, husbands above the $7,500 income level spent an
average of $23 for shirts.
The data on expenditures per article for cotton shirts purchased by
husbands indicate that relatively inexpensive shirts were purchased
by the great bulk of the husbands, even at the upper end of the income
scale. With few exceptions neither cotton work shirts nor other cotton
shirts averaged above $2 in price, in any part of the income range.
The most characteristic price for work shirts was around $1.
Except in the Pacific Northwest cities more than half of the hus
bands in white families bought some form of headwear during the
year. The proportion reporting purchase rose fairly consistently
with income, increasing in most groups of communities from between
53 and 65 percent to 90 percent or over between the two ends of the
income scale. Average outlay for hats and caps was not large, how
ever, and did not amount to more than $10 for the year among any
group of husbands except those in New York and Chicago at income
levels above $7,500. While the proportion of Negro husbands buying
headwear varied rather irregular from one income class to the next,
average outlay for comparable income groups was similar to that for
whites.
Husbands purchasing felt hats paid prices averaging between $2
and $3 in families at the $500 to $1,000 level, and between $4.50 and
$5.50 among those receiving $5,000 and over in the large and middlesized cities. Straw hats varied in average prices from about $1 to
$3.50 or $4 over the same income range.
The articles of apparel not included in the groups discussed above
were not very important in husbands’ clothing budgets at most income
levels. These articles include special sportswear, such as bathing
suits, accessories such as ties, belts, suspenders, jewelry, and handker
chiefs, and miscellaneous items, including expense for cleaning, press
ing, and repair. Comparatively few husbands purchased special
sportswear, and the average outlay was extremely small. While
expenditures for accessories were reported by from 60 to 90 percent
of the husbands included in the Study, the average amounts spent
were below $10 at income levels under $4,000, except in New York
and Chicago. In the group receiving $7,500 in those two cities
husbands spent an average of $22 for accessories.

Miscellaneous clothing expenses were also unimportant in the
lower and intermediate income groups, but exceeded accessories in
average amount in the upper portion of the income range. At the
levels above $3,000, cleaning and pressing was the major item account
ing for the rise.

As might be anticipated, cleaning and pressing was a more important
element in the clothing expenditures of husbands than of wives.
This difference probably reflects both the fact that most husbands
and comparatively few wives have gainful employment outside the
home, and that men’s garments are much less easily cleaned and
pressed at home than are women’s. At the $500 to $1,000 income
level from 30 to 50 percent of the husbands reported some outlay for
TYPES OF CLOTHING PURCHASED
51
these services, although the average amount spent per husband
reporting such outlay at this level was comparatively small—between
$2 and $4 for the entire year. (See table 13.) The percentage utiliz
ing cleaning and pressing services increased rapidly with income, as
did the average outlay by those reporting such expense. Among
husbands in families above the $5,000 level in the large and middlesized cities 95 percent or more had expenditures for cleaning, the
amounts so spent averaging (for husbands having cleaning expense)
between $16 and $20. For comparable income groups the proportion
of husbands utilizing cleaning and pressing services and the average
outlay was similar for whites and Negroes.
Clothing Purchased by Females Other Than Wives 16
It will be recalled that clothing expenditures of wives in all age
groups averaged considerably more than those of other women 30
years of age and over in families at the same income level, but about
the same as, or in some cases less than, the outlay reported by girls
and other women 16 to 29 years of age. These facts find reflection
in the proportion of these girls and other women that had expenditures
lor the different groups of garments distinguished in the present
analysis. Although the proportion of “other” females aged 30
and over who reported expenditures of the several types of apparel
varied somewhat irregularly from one income class to another 17 the
data as a whole indicate very clearly that the variety in type of
clothing expenditures was substantially less for this age group than
it was for wives. Among girls and other women 16 to 29 years of
age, on the other hand, the proportion having expenditures for the
several types of garments tended to be a little greater than it was
for wives in the same income group. In the case of special sportswear,
representing garments for active participation in sports, the differ
ence, as might be expected, was quite marked. Only in the case of
underwear did wives report expenditures with as great relative fre
quency as did females 16 to 29 years of age.18
Although average expenditures for each group of articles were
substantially larger for wives than for other females over 30 in the
same communities at all comparable income levels, this difference
w The following discussion of expenditures of family members other than husbands and wives for the
various types of garments has been based on the data for white families. Similar information regarding Ne
groes in the two groups of communities for which data on expenditures by Negro families are available is
based on so small a number of persons in many of the sex-age groups classified by family income that com
parison w’th data from white families has limited validity. So far as the available figures are indicative of
consumption patterns in clothing expenditures, however, they suggest that the general relationships ob
served in the case of the white families were present among the Negroes also. (See pt. II, tables 4 and 6, for
details of clothing expenditures of family members other than husbands and wives.)
17 This irregularity probably arose chiefly from the fact that the number of members in this category was
considerably smaller than the number of wives, or the number of other females 16 to 29 years of age.
18 See pt. II, table 4.
52
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5-3 6
was in considerable part the result of the differences in the proportion
purchasing. When average expenditures for wives and other females
over 30 are computed for those that incurred expense for the various
types of garments the differences are considerably smaller, although
in most cases they are consistent enough to indicate that the garments
bought were either fewer in number per person or were less expensive
per article.19
Insofar as comparison is possible between wives and other females
aged 16 to 29, it appears that the pattern of spending for clothing is
fairly similar for these two groups of family members, not only in the
total amount spent, but in the relative importance of the constituent
items.
The most important difference appeared at the upper end of the
income range where average total clothing expenditures and expendi
tures for such groups of articles as headwear, coats, dresses, and suits
were, in general, appreciably larger for wives than for females aged
16 to 29. Throughout the income range, wives generally spent
appreciably more for both heavy and light wool coats than did these
other members. Average expenditures for silk hose by females aged
16 to 29 were very similar to those reported by wives in the same
cities and at comparable income levels. (See table 10.) For the under
wear category as a whole, likewise, the level of spending by girls and
other women 16 to 29 years of age was not consistently higher or lower
than that of wives, except at the upper income levels, where there was
some tendency for wives to spend more than the others. As indicated
earlier, special sportswear was more important in the spending of
the girls and women in the age group 16 to 29 than among wives, but
since average expenditures for such items were very small for both
groups, this difference was relatively unimportant even at the higher
economic levels.
Among the children in the age groups from 2 through 15, the
relative importance of the various groups of apparel items was
naturally somewhat different from that of the older family members.
In the lower and intermediate income groups, at least, the proportion
for whom headwear was purchased during the year tended to vary
inversely with age, and for each of these groups to be smaller than
for the adults.
Partly because of these differences in the proportions having expendi
tures, but probably also because of differences in expenditures per hat,
the average outlay for headwear, even for the group aged 12 to 15, was
at many income levels in the various communities less than half that
for the group in the 16 to 29 age group. As might be anticipated, these
expenditures, like the proportion reporting them, varied inversely with
19 Data on the quantity of the different articles of clothing purchased, and on average expenditures per
article are available for husbands and wives only.
TYPES OF CLOTHIKG PURCHASED
53
the age of the children. Even at the highest income level studied in
New York and Chicago ($7,500 and over) average outlay for headwear
for children aged 2 to 5 was under $4; and that for the 6 to 11 group
was less than $5.
Although the proportion of children in the age groups under 16
for whom dresses, suits, skirts, and blouses were purchased was as
high as it was in the case of wives and other females in the 16 to 29
age group, average amounts spent were much smaller in every com
parable income group in all communities included in the Urban Series
of the Consumer Purchases Study. At most income levels the average
amount spent by girls in the 12 to 15 age group was only one-half or
two-thirds as large as that reported for wives, and in a number of
cases only about one-third as much was spent for these children. For
the lower age groups the average expenditures for such garments
were correspondingly smaller.
The propensity children have for going through their shoes quickly
is evidenced by the fact that in the lower part of the income range in
virtually all groups of cities shoes were purchased for a greater pro
portion of children aged 6 to 15 than for wives or other adult females
in corresponding groups of families. Higher in the income scale,
however, this difference was not clearly apparent, since at those levels
all but a very small percentage of family members of all age groups
bought shoes during the year. In fact, average outlay for shoes for
girls 12 to 15 did not differ significantly from that for wives when
corresponding income groups are compared in the same communities.
Expenditures for shoes for girls aged 6 to 11 averaged somewhat
lower, probably because shoes for the younger children can usually
be purchased somewhat more cheaply than for older persons. There
was a similar differential between average expenditures for footwear
for children in the 6 to 11 age group and those for children aged
2 to 5. In all communities, expenditures for shoes absorbed a much
larger proportion of the total outlay for children’s clothing than they
did of the expenditures of their parents.
On the whole, a greater percentage of the children of the several
age groups under 15 acquired coats and other wraps than did wives
in comparable groups of families. Average expenditures for such
garments, however, were considerably smaller, even when such
averages are based on all families in the respective groups. In such
apparel, as in the case of most other groups of items, there was a tend
ency for each younger age group to have smaller average expenditures.
In outlay for accessories the young family members naturally
ranked relatively low in comparison with the adult members. For
those under 12 years of age the average amount spent was below $4,
even at the highest levels studied in the several groups of communi-
54
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5-3 6
ties, although above the $1,000 level in most communities well over
half had expenditures for such items.
Clothing Purchased by Males Other Than Husbands
In some ways the relationships observed in the case of clothing
expenditures for wives and other female members of the family were
paralleled by those obtaining among male family members. As
indicated earlier, husbands spent more than any other male group;
other men 30 years of age and over in these family groups spent less than
boys and men aged 16 to 29, and the level of clothing outlay for the
groups under 16 varied directly with age. As in the case of female
members, the low average outlay for clothing by males over 30 in
comparison with other adult members of that sex was related both
to the smaller proportion buying the several types of garments and
also to the fact that, among those who bought, average expenditures
for the larger groups such as coats, suits, underwear, and footwear,
were less than they were for husbands and young men aged 16 to
29. In general, however, there was closer similarity in the pattern
of clothing expenditures for other men 30 years of age and over and
those of husbands and young men aged 16 to 29 than there was
between that of females over 30 and those of wives and young women
in the 16 to 29 age group. An explanation for this difference may
lie in the probability that the men over 30 were more likely than the
women in that age group to have employment away from home. If
so, their clothing requirements would be relatively greater.
The higher level of spending for clothing by husbands as compared
with the other adult males was maintained fairly consistently in most
of the individual groups of garments distinguished in the present
analysis. They ranked high in both the proportion reporting and in
average outlay for headwear, but in most other categories of apparel
they were higher than members aged 16 to 29 in the average amount
spent, but not in the proportion spending. This indicates a tendency
for the articles of clothing purchased by husbands to be somewhat
more expensive than those bought by young men in the 16 to 29 age
group. This inference is supported by the data on average outlay
by the several groups of members based on the number that had
expenditures for the specified garments.20 For example, in New
York and Chicago, husbands at the $1,500 to $2,000 income level
who bought heavy wool suits spent an average of $28 during the
year, while boys and other men aged 16 to 29 spent $25 for such
2 Since data on expenditures per article or on quantities purchased are available only for husbands and

wives, no absolute comparison can be made on prices paid by the various members. In the case of garments
such as overcoats or heavy wool suits, however, of which only one would generally be purchased during the
year by a member of a family at the lower and intermediate income levels, the data on average expenditures
for the several groups indicates fairly well the average prices paid.
TYPES OF CLOTHING PURCHASED
55
garments. For overcoats, husbands at the same economic level
spent $26, and the other men and boys, $17.
It is interesting that in footwear the 16 to 29 age group, on the
whole, reported expenditures somewhat more frequently than did
husbands, although in average amounts spent the latter group still
ranked a little ahead of the former.
Among the boys under 12 years of age there were comparatively
few consistent differences in the proportion spending for the several
groups of items except in case of shirts, which were purchased for
relatively few boys under 6 years of age, even in the upper part of
the income range. In the case of accessories, likewise, such as ties,
belts, and jewelry, the proportion for whom expenditures were made
was lowest for the youngest boys, but was fairly similar for the next
two age groups. Footwear was purchased for at least 95 percent
of the boys in each age group at the majority of income classes, even
at the lower economic levels.
There was no indication either in the proportion obtaining shoes
or in average outlay for footwear that boys are harder on shoes than
girls of the same age. In fact, expenditures for footwear for girls
in the 12 to 15 age group averaged consistently higher than for boys
of the same age. Between boys and girls in the other two age groups
there was very little difference, but average outlay was fully as high
for the girls as for the boys.
Although shoes were purchased during the year for approximately
the same percentage of boys of each age group, average expenditures
for the smallest boys were quite consistently less than those in the
other age groups under 16. This fact is probably accounted for
largely by lower unit prices per pair for shoes for small children, and
to some extent, perhaps, by the fact that the boys under 6 are less
likely to play strenuously out of doors and on pavements than are
those between 6 and 16.
There was less difference than might be anticipated in average out
lay for suits and trousers for boys in these three age groups. Such
differences are generally clearer, however, at the higher income levels
than at the lower. In accordance with expectations, the older boys
generally spent more than the younger.
The greater variety and, in general, the greater cost of feminine
underwear as compared with that for boys and men appears even in
the average outlay for children under 12. Expenditures for under
wear, nightwear, and hose for girls aged 12 to 15 averaged close to
twice those for boys of the same age in the same group of communi
ties. Even among children in the next lower age interval (6 to 11),
expenditures for the girls were definitely above those for the boys, and
among the smallest children classified by sex there was a tendency in
most communities in the same direction.

Expenditures for Sewing
The data on types of clothing expenditures obtained in the Urban
Series of the Consumer Purchases Study indicate strikingly the extent
to which the purchase of factory-made apparel has supplanted the
earlier practice of making garments at home and employing dress
makers to do part or all of the family sewing. In spite of the fact
that, over the income range covered, from 50 to 90 percent of the fami
lies studied in the various cities reported ownership of sewing ma
chines,21 comparatively little was spent at any income level for
materials and paid help for sewing for any family member. Evidently,
a considerable proportion of these machines were purchased at a time
when the practice of making garments at home was more widespread
than it appears to be today.
On the whole, expenditures for materials and paid help in sewing
were reported somewhat more frequently for girls in the age groups
under 16 than for wives, but in most income classes in the several com
munities such expenditures were reported for fewer than half of the
girls in any age group. There was comparatively little consistent
relation, either direct or inverse, between income and the proportion
reporting expenditures for such purposes.
With few exceptions average expenditures by wives were substan
tially larger than those for girls in families at corresponding income
levels. While there was considerable irregularity in the data there was
a fairly clear tendency for such averages to increase with income. In
only a few cases, however, did the amount reported average as much
as $5, even among wives in families above the $5,000 level. Among
girls under 16, the amounts reported varied independently of income
in most communities, and were generally least for the youngest girls,
in the age group 2 to 5, for whom the average outlay was usually under
$1.50 for the entire year. Even the averages based on those for whom
such expense was reported were so small as to indicate that very little
apparel was acquired that was not ready-made. (See table 14.)
For boys expenditures for materials and paid help for sewing were
both infrequent and very small. At most income levels in the various
communities such expense was incurred for fewer than one-fifth of the
boys between 2 and 12 years of age. Average outlay were generally
under 50 cents, and for a considerable proportion of the groups, were
even below 25 cents.

Chapter IV
Expenditures for Personal Care
Expenditures for personal care, unlike those for clothing, constitute
a small but relatively fixed proportion of the family budget. At
virtually all income levels, and in all communities studied, the goods
and services included in this category accounted for close to 2 percent
of total money expenditures for current living among white families,
and between 2 and 3 percent among Negroes. Even more than in the
case of clothing therefore, the data for personal care expenditures
exhibit a marked similarity in relative importance in the communities
differing widely in size and in geographic location that were included
in the Urban Series of the Consumer Purchases Study.1
In the large cities, expenditures for personal care were between $16
and $20 per family at the lower end of the income scale, and were
five or six times as large at the upper end. In general, a rate of
spending as high as $1 weekly for all items included in personal care
was maintained only above the $3,000 income level, while in most
cities less than $2 weekly was spent even by families in the $7,500 to
$10,000 level. In the middle-sized and small cities average expendi
tures were quite similar to those in the larger cities for corresponding
income groups.2 At income levels below which half the families that
were studied live 3 expenditures for personal care for the entire family
averaged 75 cents or less per week. This level of spending clearly
indicates that for such groups, at least, the outlay for personal care
included very little besides haircuts, toilet soap, dentifrices, and tooth
brushes.
While the differences were comparatively small, Negro families
tended to spend more for personal care than did white families at the
same income level. Thus, in the two categories most closely asso
ciated with personal appearance, Negro families outranked whites in
their level of spending.
1 Detailed data on personal care expenditures were obtained from the expenditure schedules, and were
therefore tabulated on the same geographic basis as were total family expenditures for clothing, presented
in ch. I.
2 See pt. II, table 3, for detailed data on expenditures for personal care for all families and for families of the
several types distinguished in this study.
a Median incomes for the families eligible for the expenditure schedule ranged from $1,400 to $1,900 among
white families in the cities other than New York, and between $575 and $1,325 for the Negroes. See table 1,
appendix A for the median incomes of eligible families in each of the cities and groups of cities for which
expenditure schedule data are presented.
58
EXPENDITURES FOR PERSONAL CARE
59
Personal Services
At most income levels, personal services to family members, includ
ing haircuts, shampoos, manicures, and all other barber shop and
beauty parlor services, accounted for slightly over half the total
amounts spent for personal care. The remainder comprised toilet
soap and dentifrices, all cosmetics, and toilet articles such as brushes,
combs, manicure equipment, and other articles used in personal
grooming. There was a general tendency in most communities for
average expenditures for services to increase more rapidly with
increases in income than those for toilet articles and preparations.
Expenditures for personal services have been tabulated for hus
bands, wives, children under 16, and other family members. Through
out the income range, in the majority of cities studied, services for
husbands and wives together accounted for approximately threefourths of the total when families of all types are considered together.
Other family members over 16 generally absorbed over half of the re
mainder, in income classes above $2,000, and less than half below
that level. (See table 15.)
In the lower income groups expenditures by husbands for personal
services were larger than those by wives, but above the $2,000 level
or thereabouts in most communities wives spent more than hus
bands. In Chicago, for example, in families with incomes of $2,000
to $2,250, husbands spent an average of $9 per year for personal
services, or at the rate of 75 cents per month. This level of spending
clearly included very little besides the periodic haircuts. In the same in
come group wives had an average outlay of only $8.10 for the year.
Between this economic level and the highest studied in Chicago ($10,000
and over) expenditures for personal services by husbands increased
less than threefold while average outlay by wives increased twice as
rapidly, or approximately sixfold. In income classes under $1,250
in this metropolitan center expenditures of husbands for personal
services were twice those of wives, while above the $7,500 level those
of wives were virtually twice as great as the amount spent by husbands.
This shift in relative size of expenditures for personal services by
husbands and wives was somewhat more pronounced in Chicago than
in many of the other cities included in the Urban Series of the Study
of Consumer Purchases, particularly the less highly urbanized com
munities, but among the white families at least, the data show that
the same general pattern of spending was followed. It is interesting
that among Negro families in the Southeast cities, husbands spent
more for personal services than did wives throughout the income
range. Among Columbus Negroes, likewise, husbands spent more
than wives at all but two income levels. In New York, however,
expenditures for personal services were consistently larger for wives
than for husbands in the upper part of the income scale.

The distribution of expenditures for personal services naturally
varied considerably among families of different composition, the share
going to husbands and wives decreasing in families of successively
larger membership. Among those with three to six members, at
least three of them 16 and over (types IV and V), in the communities
where families of those types were analyzed together, expenditures
for members over 16 were usually greater than those for wives in the
lower part of the income range, and often greater than those of hus
bands at the upper income levels. The relatively large average
amounts spent by such members often reflects the presence in the
family of two or more members in that age group.
Toilet Articles and Preparations
Since toilet articles and preparations include such standard items
in the family budget as toilet soap, dentifrices, tooth brushes, hair
brashes, and combs, it is not surprising that virtually every family
throughout the income range in all communities studied reported
expenditures for one or more of these items.
Average expenditures increased fairly consistently over the income
range in all communities studied, rising from between $10 and $15 per
family at income levels of $750 to $1,000 in most urban groups to be
61
tween $40 and $50 among families with incomes above $7,500 in the
two metropolitan centers and in the large cities. Families in the
highest income groups ($5,000 and over) studied in the middle-sized
cities generally averaged between $30 and $40 during the year for
toilet articles and preparations (see table 16). For comparable in
come groups there was relatively little difference among the com
munities in average outlay for these items, even when those differing
in degree of urbanization as greatly as do Chicago and the New
England small cities are compared. So far as the items making up
the miscellany of toilet articles and preparations are concerned,
therefore, the data indicate a rather widely uniform pattern of spend
ing among American families belonging to the groups from which
those included in the expenditure analysis were selected.
In the lower part of the income range, toilet soap naturally ranked
first among the items included, both in the proportion of families
having expenditures and in the average amount spent. (See table
16.) Only at scattered income levels were a few families found that
incurred no expense during the year for toilet soap. Among families
with incomes of $750 to $1,000 average expenditures for the year
ranged between $3 and $4 in most cities, or between 6 and 8 cents per
week. Such outlay accounted for from 30 to 40 percent of expendi
tures for all toilet articles and preparations.
While toilet soap is one of the relatively inelastic categories of
expenditure, average amounts spent increased fairly regularly with
income, but much more slowly than did most of the other groups of
items included in toilet articles and preparations. Accordingly,
outlay for toilet soap declined almost one-half as a proportion of this
total between the $500 and $1, 000 income level and that of $5, 000
and over.
In the case of most commodities included in family living, increas
ing expenditures at successive income levels represented not only
increasing quantities purchased but also higher prices paid per unit.
In the case of toilet soap, average outlay per cake increased very
little with income. In the lower part of the income range families
in most cities studied reported yearly purchases of between 60 and 80
cakes. At the highest income levels the amount purchased was close
to twice as great, while average expenditures were usually between
two and three times the amount reported by low income families.
For example, families at the $750 to $1,000 income level in Chicago
purchased approximately 70 cakes of toilet soap per family during
the year for which they paid an average of’about $4, or not quite
6 cents per cake. Among families receiving $5,000 to $7,500 an aver
age of 116 cakes of soap were purchased, costing $7.60, or about
6.5 cents per cake. Even the group receiving $10,000 and over spent
slightly less than 8 cents per cake,

EXPENDITURES FOR PERSONAL CARE
63
Expenditures for dentifrices, including tooth paste, tooth powder,
mouth washes, and dental floss were considerably smaller than those
for toilet soap in the lower and intermediate income groups, but
generally exceeded soap at the higher economic levels. This shift in
rank reflected the more rapid rise with income in expenditure for denti
frices as compared with toilet soap, although the former did not
increase rapidly enough, on the whole, to account for an increasing
proportion of total outlay for toilet articles and preparations.
Expenditures for shaving soaps and shaving cream were quite
small at all income levels, and rarely accounted for as much as 10
percent of total outlay for toilet articles and preparations. Among
Negro families less than 5 percent of the total was so used at most
levels. While the amounts spent rose with income, they were
generally below $3, even in the upper part of the income range.
The most elastic group of items represented in toilet articles and
preparations was that comprising perfumes, cold cream, powder, and
other cosmetics. Since expenditures for the items included in this
group may be greatly reduced, if other needs are very pressing, it is
not surprising that the low income families generally spent com
paratively little in this way. Average expenditures were generally
under $4 in income groups below $1,500, and were $2 or less at the
lowest levels studied. Among families receiving $7, 500 and over in
the large cities expenditures for these items were usually between
$15 and $20. New York families above the $10,000 level spent an
average of $27, but the same group in Chicago reported outlays
averaging about the same as those for the $7,500 and over group in
the large cities. Thus, expenditures for these items rose with income
rapidly enough to account for increasing proportions of the total
amount spent for toilet articles and preparations, the relative increase
approximately balancing the relative decline in amounts spent for soap.

Appendix A
Scope and Method o f the Study o f Consumer Purchases:
Urban Series
The data collected in the Urban Series of the Study of Consumer
Purchases are presented in three sets of publications. The first two,
which have been published in a series of two-volume bulletins, pertain
to the distribution of families according to nativity, income, occupa
tional group, family composition, and home tenure; and to the ex
penditure of current income for the major categories of consumption.1
The third set of publications covers the details of expenditures;
for example, the report on food presents not only total expenditures
for food but also the details on expenditure for meals away from home,
and for specific food items, such as white flour and lamb chops.
These details are presented in a series of volumes,2 each containing
data for a certain group of expenditures, such as those for food or for
housing, for all the communities covered by the Urban Series of the
Study of Consumer Purchases.3
1 See the following bulletins:
Bull. No. 642.—Family Income and Expenditure in Chicago, 1935-36.
Bull. No. 643.—Family Income and Expenditure in New York City, 1935-36.
Bull. No. 644.—Family Income and Expenditure in Nine Cities of the East Central Region.
1935-36.
Bull. No. 645.—Family Income and Expenditure in Selected New England Cities, 1935-36.
Bull. No. 646.—Family Income and Expenditure in Selected Urban Communities in the West
Central-Rocky Mountain Region, 1935-36.
Bull. No. 647.—Family Income and Expenditure in Selected Southeastern Cities, 1935-36.
Bull. No. 649.—Family Income and Expenditure in Four Urban Communities in the Pacific North
west Region, 1935-36.
Each bulletin is published in two volumes. Volume I, Family Income, pertains primarily to the income
data but also includes information on family composition and rents paid.
Volume II, Family Expenditures, contains the summary of expenditures for each of the major categories
of consumption, such as housing, food, clothing, personal care, etc. Thus in these volumes, total expendi
tures for clothing and personal care are compared with expenditures for these other groups of items of con
sumption.
2 The volumes which together make up Bull. No. 648, Family Expenditures in Selected Cities, are as
follows:
Volume
I Housing.
II Food.
III Clothing and Personal Care.
IV Furnishings and Equipment.
V Medical Care.
VI Travel and Transportation.
VII Recreation, Education, and Contributions and Personal Taxes.
VIII Changes in Assets and Liabilities.
* Families providing income and expenditure data selected the report year that they preferred, either
the calendar year 1935 or a 12-month period ending in 1936. All data represent family expenditure for a
period of 12 months during 1935-36, except the material pertaining to the details of expenditure for food.
This is based on 1 week’s consumption.

The Population Covered
Cities studied .— The cities included in the Consumer Purchases
Study were chosen to represent the metropolis, the large city with a
population from 250,000 to 300,000, the middle-sized city with a
population from 30,000 to 75,000, and the small city with a population
of from 8,000 to 20,000, in 6 different regions of the country. In
the field work the Bureau of Labor Statistics covered all the cities
studied in the first 3 groups, and 10 of the small cities. In the
analysis of the results, this Bureau has been responsible for the data
from the cities shown in the following table.4

Since the purpose of the expenditure survey was to determine,
insofar as it is possible to do so, the influence of income, family
type, and occupation upon family spending, it seemed wise not to try
to cover, with the restricted funds available for the investigation,
the total population of each community studied. Instead, certain
qualifications were set up for the purpose of eliminating as far as
possible the effect of alien customs, economic stress, and broken family
ties, which might tend to obscure the factors in family spending which
it was desired to measure.
Nativity groups.— The expenditure survey was limited to families in
which the husband and wife were both native born. In New York,
Columbus, and the Southeast, data were obtained not only from white
families but also from Negro families; in the other cities the investi
gation of expenditures was confined to white families.
4 See p. 575 for the cities covered by the Bureau of Home Economics.
539
SCOPE AND METHOD OF THE STUDY
Income and occupational groups.—In all cities families having
received relief at some time during the year were excluded from the
expenditure survey. The population covered was further restricted
by the omission of nonrelief families with incomes below the levels
which define the customary spending of nonrelief groups. Families
with incomes below $500 in the metropolises, white families with
incomes below $500 in the large cities, and white families with incomes
below $250 in the other cities were omitted. Among Negro families
in Columbus, those with incomes below $250 were likewise excluded.

In most of the cities covered in the expenditure study, families in
the wage-earner and clerical groups only were included in the sample
at the lowest income levels, and only families in the business and pro
fessional groups, at the upper levels, since the families in these groups
were considered most representative of the extremes of the income
scale.
For purposes of this study, families were classified into six major
occupational groups: wage-earner, clerical, independent business,
independent professional, salaried business, and salaried professional.
540
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
The occupational classification of a family was determined by the
major source of earnings, whether contributed by one or more members.
Data secured from families with no gainfully employed members,
which formed a very small proportion of all families in the selected
random sample, were not included in the summary of the details of
expenditures. A special study of the expenditures of white families
with no gainfully employed members was made for Chicago, Columbus,
and the East Central middle-sized cities. For this material see
volume II of Bulletins Nos. 642 and 644.
The lower and upper limits of the income range at which families in
different occupational groups were studied is shown in the accom
panying table:

1 The occupational group in which a family was classified was determined by the source from which a major
portion of its earnings was derived.
2 Families in which the major portions of earnings were derived from work in which the earner was selfemployed.
Family type groups.—Only families of the relatively more frequent
types were included in the sample eligible for the expenditure schedule.
For the purpose of distinguishing the expenditure patterns of the pre
dominant family-composition groups, the following types were
defined (see fig. 2):

V Husband, wife, and one child under 16 years, one person 16
years or over, and one or two other persons regardless of age
(families of five or six persons).
VI Husband, wife, and three or four children under 16 years
(families of five or six persons).
VII Husband, wife, one child under 16 years, and four or five other
persons regardless of age (families of seven or eight persons).
These seven family types were studied in Chicago, in the white
sample in the three East Central city units, and in the Atlanta Negro
sample. Elsewhere, the funds available for the expenditure survey
made it necessary to restrict the coverage to families of the first five
types only.
Other elig ib ility requ irem en ts .—The expenditure survey was further
restricted by excluding a few families for the following reasons:
1. The family did not occupy a home in the community for at least 9 months of
the schedule year.
2. The family moved from one dwelling unit to another between the end of the
schedule year and the date of the interview.
3. The family did not have access to housekeeping facilities for at least 9
months of the schedule year.
4. The family had more than the equivalent of one roomer and/or boarder in
the household for 52 weeks of the report year.
5. The family had more than the equivalent of one guest for 26 weeks.
Sampling Procedures
E x p en d itu re schedule .— The collection of data on family expenditures
and family living requires more than ordinary skill and is very timeconsuming. In the interests of economy it was necessary to develop
special procedures in order that the families covered might constitute
a representative sample of the population included.
Income is the most important single factor influencing expenditure.
Since there are no directories of families by income, it was necessary
in the first place to secure a random cross section by income of the
families that might be included in the expenditure survey in each
community.
The percentage coverage of households for the random sample was
determined in large part by the size of the community. The random
sample for New York was equivalent to 4 percent of all families;
for Chicago, to 10 percent. For the six large cities, this sample
represented a 20 to 50 percent coverage; and in the middle-sized and
small cities, 50 to 100 percent of the families were interviewed to ob
tain a minimum of information necessary to identify and classify the
family. This random sample (the record card sample) in which data
542
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5-3 6
were obtained from about 625,000 families, made it possible to ascer
tain the distribution of the families in the whole community by
nativity, color, and family type composition. From those families
which met specified requirements as regards these three items, addi
tional information was secured relating to income, occupation, family
composition, and home tenure.
From this random sample, there was determined the number of
families eligible for the expenditure schedule on the basis of the
eligibility requirements described above. (See p. 66 for the color
groups, occupation, income groups, and family types covered in each
area.) In order to hold the number of expenditure schedules to a
minimum and at the same time to secure adequate information for
types of families that are found infrequently in the community, it
was decided to secure detailed expenditure data from an approxi
mately equal number of families iii the eligible group, for each family
type group within each occupational class at each income interval.
Families which were similar in respect to these three controls were
taken to represent an expenditure pattern unit, or “cell.” So far as
practicable, the goal in Chicago, the East Central cities (white sam
ple), and Atlanta (Negro sample) was to schedule 10 families to
represent each cell in each tabulation unit. In the case of the other
city units the goal was to schedule 6 families for every cell. In
each case the families scheduled as regards expenditures were drawn
as a random sample of the families listed as eligible for scheduling in
a given “cell.”
It can be seen from table 1 of the Tabular Summary that the
number of families from which data were secured was much larger in
some cases than in others; that it was much larger, for instance, at
the middle income levels than at either the top or the bottom of the
income scale. It will be seen, too, that despite the special efforts
made in the sampling process, some occupational groups and family
types are much better represented than others.
The discrepancies between the number of schedules secured and
the general goal may be attributed to several factors,5 the most im5 A nother obstacle to an exact control of the num ber of expenditure schedules in each cell resulted from
shifts in th e cell classification of fam ilies after th e detailed interview on expenditure data. T he incom e
class in w hich th e fam ily w as classified on th e basis of th e relatively short fam ily schedule interview did
not alw ays correspond w ith th e incom e class in w hich th e fam ily fell on the basis of the interview for ex
penditures. T h e shifts arose partly from th e fact th at th e m ethods of com puting incom e differed sligh tly
for th e tw o schedules, and partly from the fact th at sources of incom e w hich the fam ily had forgotten to
m ention to the agent obtaining the fam ily schedule data occasionally cam e to ligh t in th e course of the long
interview in connection w ith the discussion of expenditures.
B ecause of the extensive coverage of the fam ily incom e survey, it w as necessary to keep the tim e of the
fam ily schedule interview as short as possible. On th at account inform ation on the expenses of an ow ned
hom e other th an interest paym ents w as n ot obtained from the fam ilies covered in the large random sam ple.
Therefore, in estim ating nonm oney incom e from hom e ow nership for the incom e report, it w as necessary
to resort to a table of estim ated average expenses at given rental values. D uring th e expenditure interview ,

portant of which was the fact that families of specified types at certain
income levels were not sufficiently numerous to yield the desired
number of schedules. Furthermore, not all families from which
expenditure data were desired contributed the information. Some
had moved out of the city, others could not be found at home, while
still others were unable or unwilling to give the detailed information
requested. Of the schedules which were secured, a number had to
be discarded because of inconsistency, incompleteness, or unreliability
of data shown.
For some of the cells the random sample did not furnish a sufficient
number of cases to permit computation of reliable averages for the
expenditure patterns of the families. For example, in a 10-percent
sample of Chicago families there were only four salaried professional
families with incomes of $1,750 to $2,000 and with three or four
Sim ilarly, for fam ilies having boarders the incom e figure on the fam ily schedule included the estim ated
net incom e from boarders after deductions had been m ade for the cost of food; these deductions varied w ith
the am ount of the paym ent for board and were estim ated on the basis of data secured in the Bureau of Labor
Statistics Stud y of the M oney D isbursem ents of W age Earners and Clerical W orkers. A t the tim e of the
expenditure schedule interview , detailed inform ation w as obtained on the food expenditures of the fam ily

gage more correctly the net incom e from boarders.

Furtherm ore, rent received as a gift is not included in the incom e figure of the fam ily schedule, b u t it was
taken into account in deriving the incom e code of fam ilies giving expenditure data.
Changes in the fam ily typ e classification also resulted from the longer interview —chiefly because oi
differences in the definition of the econom ic fam ily. W hereas all related persons living under the sam e
roof, or eating at least tw o m eals daily w ith the fam ily, w hose incom e could be ascertained were included
in coding the fam ily typ e for purposes of the fam ily schedule tabulation, on ly persons dependent on a com
mon fam ily fund w hose expenditures could also be ascertained were regarded as m em bers of the econom ic
fam ily in the controlled sam ple. T he discrepancies in th e codes resulting from these differences, however,
were negligible; for exam ple, less than 1 percent of all Chicago fam ilies from w hich expenditure data wer^
secured were classified in a different fam ily typ e b y the tw o procedures.
T he shifts in occupational code resulting from the longer interview also were relatively infrequent.
Aside from the effect of discrepancies arising from different definitions of the econom ic fam ily, the longer
interview brought to light additional facts concerning the net earnings of various fam ily m em bers. D e
tailed inform ation on autom obile expenditure, for exam ple, occasionally revealed a different, and more
accurate, figure for occupational expenses than th at w hich had been deducted w hen reporting the net earn
ings of fam ily m em bers in the fam ily schedule interview .
In the process of obtaining the last schedule needed to com plete a cell according to the basic plan, it som e

Since these schedules added to the reliability of the averages for the given cells, it w as decided to m ake use
of all the com pleted schedules w hich fell w ithin the incom e, occupation, and fam ily typ e lim its set for the
investigation.
T h e shifts in cells had another effect w hich, though not num erically very im portant, m ade som e difficulty
in preparing the basic tabulations; nam ely, expenditure schedules appeared in cells for w hich no w eights
were available since no eligible cases had been classified in these cells in the tabulation of the random sam ple
It w as decided to give cells in w hich no random sam ple schedules were secured bu t in w hich expenditure
schedules appeared a w eigh t equ ivalent to th e num ber of expenditure schedules appearing in the tabulations.

actually found, but counterbalancing these added w eights w as the fact th at a num ber of cells w hich con

T h e above discussion of changes in cell code has been presented prim arily to give the reader som e insight
into the typ e of problem s in volved in obtaining equal num bers of cases in each cell in the controlled sam ple.

children under 16. In this case and others like it an effort was made
to locate more families of the type required in the cell by a process
of stratified sampling, as for example by canvassing lists of doctors,
lawyers, and the like professional people. Even with the use of the
stratified sample, however, some of the cells did not have the desired
minimum of families, and therefore had to be combined with con
tiguous cells to give a somewhat broader classification for analysis
than had originally been contemplated.

The number of check lists per cell was smaller in some cases than
the number of expenditure schedules. Some families were unable
to supply the necessary information (quantity, price, and value or
expenditure) for the specified items; and others were unable to spend
the time needed to complete the check lists. Because of an in
sufficient number of check lists, no tabulations on individual items of
food consumed were prepared for the Negro families in the New York
City-Columbus unit. Further, in the case of clothing check lists for
individual members of the family, data were obtained in many
instances for some members of the family but not for all. For example,
clothing expenditure by items might be reported by the wife for her
self and for children under 16 years of age in the family, bat for her
husband in some cases she gave only his total clothing expenditure.

Method of Securing Averages
C om bin ation s of c itie s .— As noted above, the cities included in this
study were selected to represent the various geographic sections and
city-size groups in the country. Data are presented for the two
metropolitan and six large cities separately. The two or three middlesized cities in each geographic area 7 were combined as a unit, when
analyzing the data from the expenditure schedule.
There were two main reasons for combining the data for the middlesized cities and for the small cities in each region. In the first place,
the number of schedules secured in each of these communities was
necessarily smaller than in the case of the metropolitan centers and
the large cities. These small numbers made some combinations
necessary in order to secure reliable averages, particularly since it
was desired to analyze part of the data by occupational group or by
family type, as well as by income level. In the second place, the
middle-sized cities and the small cities were selected as representative
of the different community types predominating in the regions in
which they were located. Significant figures on expenditures by
families of given income, family type, and occupation could best be
secured for communities with population under 70,000 persons by
combining into one set of figures the data secured for all cities of a
given size in each area.
With the tabulation of the data as outlined above, it is possible to
make analysis of regional differences in the data secured, as well as of
differences growing out of varying degrees of urbanization.
Due to the smaller number of families supplying data on the details
of food, clothing, and furnishings and equipment purchases, and to the
variety of items covered, further combinations were made when
analyzing the supplementary schedules, as follows:
W hite fa m ilies
New York City and Chicago.
New England and East Central, two large and five middle-sized
cities.
New England and East Central, nine small cities.
Southeast, one large and two middle-sized cities.

cities.
Pacific Northwest, one large and three middle-sized cities.

Southeast, W est Central and R ocky M ountain, and Pacific N orthw est.
SCOPE AND METHOD OF THE STUDY
547
C om bin ation s of occu pation s an d fa m ily ty p e s. — The number of
occupational groups differentiated in the tabulation of the data from
the expenditure schedules varied with the number of families in the
given groups. Data for the six major occupational groups (wageearner, clerical, independent business, independent professional,
salaried business, and salaried professional) were tabulated separately
for the white sample in the metropolitan centers. Five occupational
groups were differentiated among white families for the large cities,
with families in the two self-employed groups pooled; four groups were
tabulated for white families in the middle-sized cities by further
pooling the two salaried groups; only three groups were differentiated
for the small cities, with all business and professional families con
sidered as a unit. In the case of Negro families, families in the two
independent groups and in the two salaried groups, respectively, were
pooled for Atlanta; families in the four business and professional
groups were pooled for New York and Columbus; and only two
groups, wage-earner and all others, were differentiated for the South
eastern middle-sized cities.
As noted above, expenditure schedules were obtained from families
of seven types in Chicago, the East Central city units (white sample),
and Negro families in Atlanta. For these units the sample was
selected to be large enough to present data for 7 family types separ
ately. In other regions where only 5 family types were covered and
the sample was smaller, averages were presented for only three type
groups: type I, types II and III combined, and types IV and V
combined.
Three occupational groups were distinguished for the tabulation of
the check lists for the white families in the metropolitan, large, and
middle-sized cities—namely, wage-earner, clerical, and business and
professional. In the small cities only two occupational groups were
used— wage-earner and all others.
Expenditures for items of food, clothing, and furnishings and equip
ment vary so greatly from family to family that it is necessary to use a
larger number of cases in obtaining averages for these items than is
required when securing averages for family expenditures for broader
categories. On account of this the income classes were combined into
$500 and $1,000 groups in presenting the check-list data.
In order to secure occupational homogeneity within these broader
income classes, the income ranges covered in the check-list data are
somewhat different from those covered in the data from the main
expenditure schedule. (See table on p. 540.) In the tables giving the
details on expenditures of white families for food, clothing, and
furnishings and equipment in New York City, Chicago, and the large
cities, the clerical group is first represented in the income class
$1,000-$1,499; and the business and professional group in the class
548
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6
$1,500-$1,999. No data are presented for white families, or for Negro
families in New York City and Columbus, with incomes less than $500.
In the Negro samples in Atlanta, clerical, business and professional
families are first represented in the income class $500-$999.
Family type groups were pooled for all white families as follows:
Type I, types II and III, types IV and V, and types VI and VII in
those areas where such were eligible.8
In the analyses of the data from the clothing check lists for persons
other than husbands and wives in each sex-age group, all occupational
and family type groups were pooled within each income class in all
tabulation units (for both white and Negro families).
Because of the relatively small number of check lists secured from
Negro families, all occupational and family type groups were pooled
within each income class in the tabulations of the three check lists.
The weighting process.—Since the design of the Study called for an
equal number of cases in each income-family-type-occupation group,
it was necessary to weight the data for each “cell” by its frequency in
the total population represented by the survey. That is, in order to
secure averages which adequately represent the whole group of families
at a given income level, the simple averages for families of a given
type within each occupational group were multiplied by the number of
eligible families in the given cell. The sum of these products at any
income level was then divided by the total number of eligible families
at that level, to secure the desired averages.
The figures showing percentages of families at successive income
levels reporting expenditures for the various items were derived from
the simple percentages in each cell. These were then multiplied by
the number of eligible families in the given cell, and the resulting
products after being totaled for each income class were divided by
the total number of eligible families at the given level. Similar
procedures were followed when computing percentages and average
expenditures for specified family type groups at each income level.
That is, the products described above for each cell were totaled by
family type-income groups, and were then divided by the corre
sponding total number of eligible families.
Two exceptions to the weighting process just described have already
been noted in connection with tabulations based on the check lists.9
The data shown for all Negro families in such tables represent un
weighted percentages and averages, that is, since all occupational and
family type groups were pooled within an income class (because of
the relatively small number of check lists) data for all Negro families
are simple percentages and averages at each income level. No

weights to give effect to the relative proportions of the family type
and occupational groups were applied to the figures. Further, all
data pertaining to the details of clothing expenditures for persons
other than husbands and wives are unweighted, and are presented as
simple percentages or averages. As before, it was necessary to com
bine all occupational and family type groups because of the relatively
small sample.
Except where specifically stated to the contrary, the averages
are based on all families in any given group without regard to the pro
portion reporting expenditures for the specific item concerned. Aver
age expenditures at a given income level for those families which
reported an expenditure may be computed by dividing the averages
based on all families by the corresponding percentage of families
reporting an expenditure for the given item.
Averages are presented whenever three or more families furnished
an expenditure schedule, although perhaps only one or two families
reported an expenditure for the specific item shown. If, for instance,
only two families were covered in a given family type-income group
in some city or group of cities for which averages are shown, no average
is shown for that family type-income group. (The figures for such
families are included in any over-all averages.) If, however, five
families were scheduled, but only two of them reported expenditure
for topcoats, for example, during the schedule year, data are shown for
the average expenditure for topcoats.
To secure an estimate of the expenditure among the eligible families
in any tabulation unit for any specified' item of expenditure over a
wider income range than that presented in these tables, the average
amounts, based on all families scheduled at each income level, may
be multiplied by the number of eligible families shown at the corre
sponding income level (table 1 of the Tabular Summary). The sum
of these products will furnish an estimate of aggregate amounts;
and division of this aggregate by the total number of eligible families
in the income classes combined will give an estimate of the average
amount per family over the n.ew range.
The discussions given above for averages pertaining to family
expenditures also apply to averages presented for individual members
of the family when studying the details of clothing expenditures.
It must be emphasized, however, that these data refer only to the
eligible families, that is, the native white or Negro nonrelief families
containing both husband and wife, and meeting the other eligibility
requirements outlined in the sampling section and within the income
ranges shown on page 540. No data were secured concerning the
disbursements of families other than those which met the eligibility
requirements set up for the investigation.
Appendix B
Classifications and Definitions of Terms— Glossary
The following glossary of terms is limited to those classifications and
definitions needing general explanation for the tabular material on
the detail of expenditures. Specific notes pertaining to individual
items appear in appendix C of this volume, “Explanation of tables.”
Items appearing on the expenditure schedule which are not discussed
in the present volume are omitted from the glossary.
Any system of classifying goods and services necessarily has certain
limitations and may not meet the needs of all groups or agencies which
utilize the data. The classification adopted for the Study of Con
sumer Purchases is in substance one that has been found useful in
other studies and which thus has the advantage of yielding compar
able data. Since the uses to which specific goods may be put by
consumers vary considerably from family to family and even within
the family circle, depending upon the multiplicity of factors, the
decisions to classify commodities in one category rather than another
were necessarily arbitrary. The classifications determined upon
have, however, been applied consistently throughout the tabulations.
Specific definitions of terms should be prefaced by the explanation
that, whenever a sales tax was enforced in a particular community
during the period covered by the study, the estimated total amount
of sales tax paid for each taxable item appearing on the schedule
was added to the total expense for the item.
Family.—For purposes of the Study of Consumer Purchases, an
economic family was defined as a group of persons belonging to the
same household and dependent upon a common income.1 Expendi
ture data were secured only from families including both a husband
and a wife.
Family type.—Families were classified, according to the number and
age of members, in one of seven types, as follows:2

IV Husband, wife, one person 16 years or over, and one or no other

VI Husband, wife, and three or four children under 16 years
(families of five or six persons).
VII Husband, wife, one child under 16 years, and four or five
other persons regardless of age (families of seven or eight
persons).
The above family types are based upon the equivalent number of per
sons under 16 years of age and the equivalent number 16 years or over
in the economic family during the year. By the use of a conversion
table the number of weeks of membership of persons in the economic
family for only a portion of the schedule year is expressed in terms of
equivalent members. If the economic family contained in addition
to the married couple, only one person who was a member for 26
weeks or less, he was not regarded as an equivalent member; had he
been in the family for 27 weeks he would have been classified as one
equivalent member. If two persons, both of whom were under 16
years, were members of the economic family for a total of from 27
weeks through 78 weeks, together they counted as one equivalent
member; had there been members for a total of from 79 through
130 weeks, they would have been counted as two equivalent members.
The same method of computation applied to persons 16 and over.
If, however, the family contained one person 16 years of age or over
and one child under 16 years, each for less than 27 weeks, neither
would be counted as a member of the economic family, although
the period of membership for the two together equalled more than
26 weeks.
Occupational group.—Families were also classified in one of seven
occupational groups: wage-earner, clerical, independent business,
independent professional, salaried business, salaried professional, and
families with no gainfully employed members.3 In general, the wage
earner classification included all types of skilled, semiskilled, and
unskilled manual jobs which are usually paid by the hour, day, or
week, rather than on monthly or annual salary basis. In the clerical
classification were grouped store clerks and salesmen working for
3 The occupational categories are based upon the Works Progress Administration’s Manual of Work
Division Procedure, sec. % Occupational Classification (June 1935); and Index of Occupations, Circ. No. 2A
k(September 1930.

Others, as well as office workers. Professional, semiprofessional, and
technical workers were included in the independent professional group
when employed on their own account, and in the salaried professional
group when they were employed by others on a salary basis. Persons
classified in the independent business group were entrepreneurs
owning and operating businesses of any type. Also classified in the
independent business category were families which derived the major
portion of their earned income from roomers and boarders. The
salaried business category consisted mainly of salaried managers and
officials; chief officers of corporations who drew salaries, as well as
minor executives, were thus classified in the salaried business groups,
even though some owned controlling interest in the business. The
seventh category consisted of families that had no earnings from an
occupation,4
The occupational classification of a family was determined by the
occupational group from which it derived the major portion of its
earnings during the report year, whether that portion was contributed
by one or more family members.6
Income— The total income by which the family was classified
included money income (derived from earnings and other sources such
as interest, dividends, pensions, etc.) and, in addition, nonmoney
income from housing (for owners, the difference between rental value
of the home and current expense for interest, repairs, taxes, and
the like; for renters, the value of rent received as gift or pay).
To arrive at the figure for earnings from gainful occupations of
family members (wages, salaries, profits and other withdrawals from
business for family use, tips, commissions and bonuses), occupational
expenses were deducted. Similarly, the figures for earned income not
attributable to individual members (i. e., income and family enter
prises such as the keeping of roomers and boarders, or casual work in
the home) represented net rather than gross income from such sources.
Items classified as nonearned money income were: Interest and
dividends; net rents from property; pensions, annuities and benefits;
gifts in cash, etc.6
Adjusted family income, presented in table 2 of the Tabular Sum
mary, consists of total income plus the value of food and fuel obtained
without money expense.
Expenditures.—Money expenditures include all money expenses
incurred during the report year, for current family living, whether or
4 The expenditures of families with no gainfully employed members were excluded from the tabulations
shown in this volume. A special study of the expenditure of these families was made for Chicago, for Colum
bus white families, and for families in the East Central middle-sized cities. For this material, see vol. II of
Bulletins Nos. 642 and 644.

not the full amount was paid during the year.7 Balances remaining
unpaid at the end of the year were considered as increases in liabilities.
Total expenditures include money expenditures and the value of
housing, food, and fuel obtained without money expense. All cate
gories except food, housing, and fuel are therefore represented only by
money expenditures. Total expenditures are thus synonymous with
“Money value of current family living,” defined below.
Value oj family living.—The money valua of current family living
consisted of money expenditures for current living, and the value of
food, housing, and fuel obtained without money expense. The value
of housing included the imputed net income from owned family and
vacation homes and the rental value of housing received as gift or pay.
Nonmoney income from housing.—An attempt was made to evaluate
all housing received without money expense, whether in the form of
rent as pay or gift, or of imputed income from an owned home.
If a family received any rent as part of wages or salary, as in the
case of a minister, a resident manager, or a janitor, the estimated
monthly rental value was multiplied by the number of months such
premises were occupied, and the resulting amount was included as a
part of the family's income. If a family occupied rent free during any
part of the schedule year, a home that was owned by a relative or
friend, the rental value was estimated for the period, and from it was
subtracted any housing expenses incurred by the family in connection
with such occupancy. The net figure was then added to the family's
income' Housing furnished to individual family members while
away from home, whether as gift or in return for services, was not
included in nonmoney income from housing, which relates solely to
housing that served the entire family.
Much more important, on the average, than rent as pay or gift,
was imputed income from owned home. If a family during any part
of the schedule year occupied a home owned by a member of the family
the rental value of this home was estimated (on the basis of rental
rates on equivalent quarters) for the period of occupancy. From this
sum were deducted all expenses incurred for the home, for interest on a
mortgage, repairs, taxes, special assessments, and premiums for insur
ance, during the period of occupancy. The remaining amount was
considered as imputed income from housing and included as a non
money part of the family's total income. If the expenses were greater
than the estimated rental value, the family was considered to have
had a negative income from housing.
This procedure applied to either a family home or an owned vacation
home. The net effect was to place many home owners in a higher

butions to the Community Chest. For these items only the amounts paid during the year were classed as
expenditures.

555
income class ($250 intervals) than they would have been classified on
the basis of money incomes alone.
Surplus or deficit.—The difference between the family’s total
money income for the year and its total money expenditure was, if
a positive sum, a surplus, or, if a negative sum, a deficit. This surplus
or deficit Was accounted for by one or more of a series of changes in
assets and liabilities, described below.
Receipts.—The term receipts has been used to designate current
money income plus funds made available through liquidation of assets
or through credit.
Disbursements.—The term disbursements has been used to designate
money expenditures for current family living plus money used to
decrease debts incurred before the beginning of the report year or to
increase assets.
Balancing difference.—Due to the difficulty experienced by families,
few of which kept detailed records, in accounting in toto for receipts
and disbursements, a margin of tolerance was set up for discrepancies
between the two. If the difference amounted to less than 5.5 percent
of receipts or disbursements, whichever was larger, the schedule was
tabulated, this amount being carried as a balancing difference. If
the discrepancy was 5.5 or larger, the schedule was discarded. In
cases where disbursements exceeded receipts, as accounted for by the
family, the balancing difference was negative; if receipts exceeded
disbursements, the difference was positive.
Appendix C
Explanation of Tables in Tabular Summary
Table 1. Number of Families
Table 1 presents the number of families eligible for the expenditure
study and the number reporting on expenditures. The data are shown
by income groups, by family type and income groups, and by occupa
tional and income groups for each of the tabulation units (16 for white
families and 4 for Negro families) into which the cities were combined,
for purposes of analysis of data from expenditure schedules.
The “Number of eligible families” as shown in section A was used
as the weights when combining the data from the expenditure schedules
for the various family types and occupational groups within each
income class.1 Although the size of sample varied in the different
communities, the figures in section A are stated in terms of a 100percent coverage.2 It is necessary to express the weights on a com
parable basis so that combinations of the data may be made by
geographic areas or by income groups, if desired.
Section B indicates the number of families reporting on expendi
tures. As stated in appendix A, those families having no gainfully
employed members have not been included in the figures in this section
nor in the remainder of the tables in the volume.
Table 1-A . Average Number of Persons per Family
The average number of persons in the economic family, the average
number under 16 years of age, and the average number 16 years and
over in addition to husband and wife are presented in table 1-A.
The figures are shown for all families, for family type groups, and for
occupational groups at successive income levels; and are based on
the number of year-equivalent persons in the families that completed
expenditure schedules. The number of year-equivalent persons was
computed for each family by obtaining the total number of memberweeks for persons under 16 years of age, and for persons 16 years and
over. The following table was then used in calculating the number
of equivalent persons in each age group:
1 See the discussion on sampling and on weighting in appendix A.
2 The data for New York City are stated in terms of a 100-percent coverage of families in census tracts in
which more than one-third of all the families were native born; these tracts include approximately 82 percent
of native families in the city.

If, for example, a family consisted, in addition to husband and wife,
of one person under 16 years of age who belonged to the family for
26 weeks, and two others 16 years or over whose membership in the
family totaled 70 weeks, the family was classed as having no equivalent
person under 16 years and one equivalent person in the older age group.
(Such a family was classified as type IV.)
The average number of equivalent persons per family in each of the
age groups was then computed for each cell; cell averages were com
bined in accordance with the weighting procedures outlined above,
in order to derive the data given in sections B and C of the table.
Since each family contained a husband and wife, both of whom
were members for at least 27 weeks, the average number of persons
per family (sec. A) was derived by adding 2.0 to the sum of the aver
age number of persons under 16 years (sec. B) and the average num
ber 16 years and over (sec. C). It should be borne in mind that the
number of equivalent persons 16 years of age and over per family as
shown in section C of table 1-A are in addition to husband and wife.
Table 1-B. Number of Families as Grouped for Analysis of Data
From Check Lists
Table 1-B shows the number of families eligible for the expenditure
study, in the cities covered as grouped for analysis of data from the
check lists—six groups for white families, and two for Negro families.
The table also shows the number of husbands and wives for whom
clothing check lists were completed. Clothing check lists were pre
pared for the individual members of the family rather than for the
family as a unit. Distributions by family type and occupational
groups are given in each case.
The numbers of eligible families (sec. A) were used as weights when
combining the data pertaining to husbands and wives in white families
for the various family type and occupational groups within each
income class. Since, by definition, each family which furnished an
expenditure schedule contained both a husband and wife, the number
of eligible families for the expenditure study also represents the num
ber of husbands and the number of wives who were eligible for the
expenditure study. As stated earlier, the data based on clothing
check lists furnished by husbands and wives in Negro families were
not weighted because of the relatively small number of check lists
EXPLANATION OF TABLES
559
completed. These data were presented as simple averages within
each income class.
Although the proportion of families included in the random sample
varied in the different communities, the figures in section A of this
table are stated in terms of the total number of eligible families in
each group of cities, that is, in terms of a 100-percent coverage.3 It is
necessary to express the weights on a comparable basis so that addi
tional combinations of the data may be made, if desired.
Table 1-C. Number of Persons, Other Than Husbands and Wives,
for Whom Clothing Expenditures Were Reported
Table 1-C shows the number of persons other than husbands and
wives for whom detailed clothing expenditures were reported in each
of the geographic areas included in the tabulations of the check lists.
These persons were grouped according to five age groups for each sex,
with an additional group consisting of children under 2 years of age.4
Distributions of the members for whom check lists were accepted for
tabulation are shown according to family type and occupational group
in each case. These distributions should not be interpreted as the
distributions of all persons other than husbands and wives in the
families which completed expenditure schedules, since data were
obtained in many instances for some members of the family but not for
all. Clothing check lists were tabulated only for persons who were
members of the economic family for the entire year. Family type I
has not been listed in this table among the family types since no family
could be classified in type I if there were persons other than the hus
band and wife for more than 26 weeks of the year; similarly, it will be
noticed that there could be no clothing check lists for persons 16 years
of age and over in types II and III.
Because of the scattered distributions of these check lists by family
types and occupational groups, the data based on clothing check lists
for persons other than husbands and wives have been presented as
unweighted figures in each of the sex and age groups for both white
and Negro families. For this reason no weights, as represented by
the number of persons in families eligible for the expenditure schedules,
are shown in these tables for the different sex and age groups.
Table 2. Adjusted Income and Expenditure
Adjusted income and expenditure are shown in table 2 in the same
detail as the data on number of families in table 1. Adjusted income,
section A, represents money income, nonmoney income from housing,

and the value of food and fuel received without money expenditure.5
The expenditure figures in section B represent money expenditure
plus the value of housing, fpod, and fuel received without money
expenditure; that is, these three items have been considered as part
of the value of current family living, the total current expenditure
of the family for the year. Data on the value of clothing, and other
items, received without direct money expenditure were not obtained
from all families and hence it was impossible to include them in either
the income or expenditure figures.
Table 3. Clothing and Personal Care
Average expenditures for clothing and for personal care as reported
on the expenditure schedules are presented in table 3. Expenditures
for personal care were subdivided into two groups—those for personal
services for the family members, and those for toilet articles and
preparations for the family as a group. The averages are shown for
families at successive income levels (family type and occupational
groups combined) and for family type groups at successive income
levels (occupational groups combined). These averages are based on
all families scheduled in each group whether or not expenditures were
reported by all families for a given item.
Clothing.—Expenditures for clothing are shown in this table for
husbands and wives, and all other members of the economic family,
as reported on the expenditure schedule. Details of the purchases
made were not entered in the expenditure schedule, but were recorded
in the clothing check lists for such members for whom the necessary
information was supplied. (See tables 4, 5, and 6 in this volume for
such data.)
Personal service.—Expenditures for personal services were recorded
and tabulated separately for husbands, wives, children under 16
years of age, and all others. The following items were among the
most important classified as services: Haircuts, shampoos, shaves,
all types of waves, manicures, facials, dyeing and dressing of hair,
and Turkish baths. Tips to barbers and beauty-shop operators were
added to the charge for the service.
Toilet articles and preparations.—Expenditures for toilet articles
were recorded under six headings, as shown in columns 13 through 18.
Expenditures for dental floss and other dentifrices were included with
those for toothpaste and powder, and mouthwash. After-shaving
lotions were included with shaving soap and cream. Expenditures
recorded under cold cream, powder, rouge, perfume, and nail polish
8 Families were classified into income groups according to the amount of their money income plus non
money income from housing. The amount of income received by most city families in terms of food and
fuel is very small, and no information on income of this type was secured on the income (family) schedule
used with the large random sample.
EXPLANATION OF TABLES
561
included those for lotions, toilet water, liquid soaps, lipstick, eyebrow
pencils, and hair dyes and liquids, as well as the articles named in the
heading. Purchases of all brushes used for personal care, razors and
razor blades, and manicuring instruments were classified together.
Expenditures recorded as other toilet articles and preparations in
cluded purchases for such articles as facial tissues, powder puffs,
compacts, curling irons, hair dryers, and pocket mirrors.
Clothing Check Lists
Tables 4, 5, and 6 present data from the clothing check lists. A
separate check fist was prepared for each member of the economic
family for whom the person interviewed was willing and able to spend
the time and to furnish the information. As previously stated, these
check lists were completed, in many cases, for some members of the
family but not for all. The number of clothing check lists used in
the tabulations is shown in tables 1-B and 1-C by family members.
The check fists called for information on the number of articles of
each kind purchased, the prices paid, total expenditures for the year,
and the season or seasons in which the purchases were made. The
total expenditure, including any sales tax, was recorded for each item.
When goods were purchased from a mail-order house, the amount of
the postage or shipping charges was included as part of the expendi
ture. Any unpaid balance at the end of the year for clothing pur
chased during the year was recorded as an increase in liabilities.
Expense for clothing given by one member of the economic family
to another was entered, as any other purchase, in the appropriate
item, since the expense was met out of family funds. The value of
all clothing received as gift or pay from persons not members of the
economic family was estimated in terms of local retail prices, and
entered as a separate item at the end of the check fist.
Separate tabulations were made of the data reported for husbands,
for wives, and for other family members classified by sex and age.
The age intervals used in each sex group were 30 years and over, 16
through 29, 12 through 15, 6 through 11, and 2 through 5. Check
fists for all children under 2 years of age were tabulated together. In
each of the 13 family member groups, the percentage of persons for
whom expenditures were reported and the average amount spent
was tabulated by items (tables 5 and 6). In addition, for husbands
and wives only, the average quantity purchased and the average
expenditure per article have been presented in table 5. No tabula
tions have been prepared from the data recorded for price, or for
purchases by seasons.
Although a check fist was not accepted for tabulation unless the
total expense was reported for each item for which a purchase was
562
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
made, it was accepted if the number of articles purchased was not
reported. In computing the average number of articles purchased
for husbands and for wives, it was assumed that the quantity pur
chased when quantity was not reported was the same as the average
quantity purchased for those in the same cell for whom quantity
was reported. The resulting figures on average quantities are shown
in table 5 and were used in deriving the average expenditure per article.
In tables 4,5, and 6 data are presented for successive family income
levels. Family type and occupational combinations of the data
for husbands and wives in white families were made within income
classes by weighting; but for husbands and wives in Negro families
and for all members other than husbands and wives in both racial
groups the combinations of family types and occupational groups
were made by pooling the data within each income class.6 Average
expenditure for a given item or group of items,7 and, in the case of
husbands and wives, average quantities purchased, are based on the
total number of clothing check lists accepted for each family member
group, without regard to the percentage of persons for whom expendi
tures for such items were reported. The average expenditure for
those for whom expenditures were reported for a particular item or
group of items may be derived by dividing the average presented in the
table by the corresponding percentages shown. In a similar manner the
average quantity purchased for husbands and for wives having such
purchases may be computed from data in table 5.
Average expenditure per article was determined by dividing the
expenditure per person by the number of articles purchased. The
divisions were made from the weighted aggregates, rather than from
the rounded averages shown in table 5.
Table 4. Summary of Expenditures for Specified Types of Clothing
The material in the clothing check lists is summarized in table 4,
showing for husbands, wives, and other members in each sex and age
group, the percentage for whom expenditures of specified types of
clothing were reported; and the average expenditure in each case.
The types of clothing are: Headwear; coats and other wraps; suits,
trousers, and overalls for males; shirts for males; suits, dresses, and
other outer clothing for fem ales; special sportswear; underwear, night
wear, and hose; footwear; and clothing accessories. Also total ex
penditures for clothing are presented for each group of members.
fl See pp. 548-549 for discussion of weighting procedures.
* Groups of items are referred to as types of clothing in table 4.
EXPLANATION OF TABLES
563
Table 5. Expenditure for Specified Items of Clothing for Husbands
and Wives
The information obtained from the clothing check lists on the
specific items for husbands and wives is presented in table 5. The
percentage of husbands and of wives for whom expenditure was
reported, the average expenditure, the average quantity purchased,
and the average expenditure per article are shown at successive income
levels for each item.
Percentages shown in the ‘T o ta l” columns are not sums of the
percentages for the specific items, but represent the proportion of
persons for whom expenditures were reported for any one or more of
the items in the section. (See discussion under ‘‘Clothing check lists”
for the method of deriving averages.)
The following explanations of specific items in the check lists
cover only those that are not self-explanatory. When an article con
tained a mixture of materials such as wool and cotton, the expendi
ture was entered according to the predominating material.
H u s b a n d s
Suits.—This item included uniforms (such as chauffeurs’ or police
men^) which were purchased for work unless paid for by the employer.
Shirts , cotton work, and other cotton.— Office workers’ cotton shirts
were considered as other cotton shirts and were distinguished from
shirts generally called work shirts, which are worn for manual labor.
Special sportswear, other.—Expenditure for all types of clothing
purchased and used for participation in sports, such as baseball and
football uniforms, ski suits, and riding habits was entered in this item.
Shoes, work and street.— Shoes worn at work by office and store
workers were classified as street shoes and were distinguished from
those worn by laborers. Sport shoes included tennis and golf shoes
and the like but not sport shoes for street wear. Other shoes in
cluded dancing shoes and bedroom and house slippers.
Jewelry.— Expenditure for such items as cuff links, collar buttons,
belt buckles, tie pins, and the purchase and repair of watches, was
included with expenditure for other jewelry.
Clothing received without money expenditure.— The value of uniforms
furnished by employers and of clothing received as gift or pay from
persons not members of the economic family was entered in this item.
W iv e s
Dresses, cotton house; aprons and smocks.—Uniforms for wives em
ployed as maids, nurses, or waitresses were included in one of these
two items, unless paid for by employer.
564
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
Special sportswear, other.— Purchases for all types of clothing for
use in participating sports, such as ski suits, tennis dresses, and riding
habits, were recorded in this item.
Shoes.— Street shoes included those for street and house wear.
Sport shoes included tennis shoes, bathing shoes, and the like, but not
sport shoes for street wear. Other shoes included dancing and ballet
shoes.
Jewelry .— This item included expense for costume jewelry and for
the purchase and repair of watches, as well as for necklaces, bracelets,
and all other jewelry.
Clothing received without money expenditure.— The value of uniforms
furnished by employers and of clothing received as gift or pay from
persons not members of the economic family was entered in this item.
Table 6. Expenditure for Specified Items of Clothing for Persons
Other Than Husbands and Wives
Table 6 shows, by sex and age groups for members of the economic
family, other than husbands and wives, the percentage of persons for
whom clothing expenditures were reported and the average amount
of such expenditure for the specific items. As previously stated,
average expenditures for each item in this table were based on the
number of check lists accepted for members of that sex-age group
within each income class whether or not expenditures were reported
for all persons; and were not weighted. (See discussion under “Cloth
ing check lists” for further explanation.)
Explanations given for certain items in table 5 generally apply in
table 6. However, because of differences in clothing purchased for
persons in the different age groups in each sex, some grouping of the
items was necessary. This was especially true for boys and girls 2
through 5 years of age. For example, in the case of shoes no dis
tinction was made as to the use of the shoes; expenses for furs were
combined with those for clothing accessories; gloves and mittens
were combined into one item; etc. Further, for boys under 16 years
of age, shirts were classified as play or school rather than as work or
street.
For children under 2 years of age, layette included clothing items
purchased as a unit, when the expense could not be distributed
among the individual items. “Other clothing” included mittens,
leggings, jewelry, sweaters, cleaning for coats, etc.

Appendix E
Communities Included by the Bureau of Home Eco
nomics in the Study of Consumer Purchases
A parallel study was conducted by the Bureau of Home Economics
of the United States Department of Agriculture, which, together with
the study made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, constitutes the
Study of Consumer Purchases. The communities in which the
families were visited by the agents of the Bureau of Home Economics
and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, respectively, are listed in Bull. 649,
Vol. I, page 297. For consistency in the analysis of the expenditure
data, schedules for all small cities in the regions mentioned hereafter
were analyzed by one Bureau or the other, irrespective of which
Bureau had gathered the data in the original field survey. The
Bureau of Home Economics analyzed all expenditure data for small
cities in the Southeast, and in the W est Central-Rocky Mountain
region. Likewise, the Bureau of Labor Statistics analyzed all expen
diture data for small cities in New England.

An investigation of the income and money disbursements of

principal categories and for detailed items of consumption for a total
sample of 14,669 families of employed wage earners and lower salaried
clerical workers in 42 cities, all with population over 50,000. Data
on quantities of food, clothing, and furnishings and equipment pur
chased; on types of medical care received; and on changes in assets
and liabilities are also included. A summary of these findings is
presented in United States Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletin
