Farm spending boom fuels home goods sales in postwar era
A New York business overview notes farm income recovery and rising living standards. Farmers moved from debt payoff to buying home appliances, carpets, and wall to wall carpeting as rural electrification expanded. Machinery investment peaked earlier, then slowed with lower farm prices. The Carpet Institute cites a surge in rural carpet sales, with 30 percent of wall to wall carpeting installed in the last two years. The story also mentions an audience of over 200 at America’s first Watershed Workshop in Philadelphia, including Jack J. Karnig of Maryland.
