Archie Hill Celebrates 78th Birthday MAJORITY OF CONSUMERS SEE GOOD TIMES AHEAD The consumers of the country (and that means everybody) have become much more optimistic than they were a year ago This is revealed in a survey of the nations consumers conducted by the Federal Reserve Board in early 1955, and reported recently by the National Association of Manufacturers. A clear majority 59 per cent declared that they expect "good times" during the current year. This compares with only 43 per cent who had indicated the same degree of optimism in early 1954 A certain number of people are bound to be pessimistic, but in 1955 only 12 per cent of all consumers stated that they expect thi syear to be one of "bad times."
