The distribution of the products bought is indicated in Table IIT. 
Food constitutes 86 per cent of the total and fuel 14 per cent. The 
item fuel includes coal, wood, and oil, oil being used for both fuel 
and lighting purposes. The big item of the products bought is food. 
The fact that the quantity bought per person varies from $16 to $66 
in the different areas would seem to indicate that a material saving 
could be made in this group of products bought. In the New Jersey 
area, where the average value of food bought per person is relatively 
high, this quantity varies from $24 to $120 in a group of families of 
the same size, showing that a material saving could be made should 
necessity demand it. The fuel bought is not such a variable quan- 
tity within the same area.
