ments of the County. Any items not specifically spelled out, but which
would normally be furnished to make the machine complete in its operation
should be included. The spray guns are to be located in the front of the
machine, in front of and clearly visible to the operator when in his normal
operating position. Adequate distance behind the gun must also be visible
to make sure spray guns (and bead dispensers if furnished) are operating
properly. The engine, compressor and paint tanks to be located behind the
operator.

Compressor:
Shall be two cylinder, single stage, air-cooled with a displacement of
not less than 40 CPM. An air receiver tank equipped with a safety valve
and drain valve shall be rigidly attached to the compressor and of
sufficient size to eliminate air pressure surges, cool compressed air
and collect moisture.
Paint Tanks:
Two 25 gallon pressure tested, explosion proof, of the type approved by
F.M. Laboratories, each equipped with a drain valve, air release valve
and safety valve. Top openings shall be 9 inches, closed by means of

More Local Families
Reach Upper Brackets
According to a nationwide
survey of income levels and
income distribution, most
Butts County families have
made significant gains in the
last few years.
Asa result, more of them
than ever before are now in the
middle and upper brackets. By
the same token, there are
fewer in the lower brackets.
The upward shift has been
noted all along the line. Many
local families who were in the
SB,OOO to SIO,OOO group formerly
are now at the over-SIO,OOO
level. Their former spots have
been occupied, in turn, by
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
families who had been in the
$5,000 to SB,OOO category.
The changes have been
recorded in a special study
released by Sales Manage
ment, a marketing publication.
Its copyrighted report analyzes
each community to determine
what segments of its popula
tion fall within each income
grouping.
The purpose of the study was
to obtain a clearer picture of
family earnings and buying
power in each area than was
afforded through its “average
income” figure by itself.
It sheds light on whether that
average is enjoyed by a large
part of the population or
whether it represents a small
proportion with big incomes
offsetting a large number with
small incomes.
The report shows that, in
Butts County, some 55.8
percent of the households had
disposable cash incomes of
$5,000 or more last year after
paying their personal taxes.
By way of comparison, the
proportion was only 45.9
percent three years ago, when
a similar study was made.
The gain was 9.9 percent, as
against a 4.4 percent gain in the
United States and 5.4 percent in
the South Atlantic States.
Since the survey is concern
ed solely with cash income,
farm families do not appear to
their best advantage, as no
adjustments are made for the
income-in-kind that is avail
able on farms.
\
The Butts County breakdown
shows the position of each
group of local households on
the income scale. It lists 19.5
percent of them with net cash
incomes of $5,000 to SB,OOO.
Another 11.2 percent are at the
SB,OOO to SIO,OOO level and 25.1
percent above SIO,OOO. The rest
are below $5,000 net.
Just how much better off
people are with their higher
incomes is a question. There
are indications that inflation
has wiped away nearly all the
recent gains.

Four 5:00 X 8 four ply pneumatic tires with the same tread width.
Brakes:
Internally expanding hydraulic on rear wheels. Independent mechanically
adtuated brakes shall be furnished for parking and/or emergency.

lever with an adjusting device to set brake tension. Brake drums shall

less than 2000 pounds, and shall be a regular totally enclosed differential

joints and spline.
Transmission and Propulsion:
Shall be completely enclosed with not less than three speeds forward and
one reverse of standard automotive design and in current production. It
shall be mounted on the machine center-line immediately adacent to the
operator's seat to insure ease of control. Automotive clutch, travel

vance and retard shall not be restricted by stops in either direction.

be hinged so that it may be opened for easy access to engine and
compressor. The wheels shall be covered in such a manner that in
