New York—For the third year
in a row the construction indus-
try in 1952 was the largest in
the United States,, surpassing
agriculture’s estimated gross
income of $37,600,000,000 by
more than 12 and one half per
cent.
Since the gross national pro-
duct is estimated at $343,000,000,-
000, nearly one out of every
eight dollars spent for end pro-
ducts and services in 1952 went
into construction.

Over a period of days as opening
wedges I tried:
Sly Hints: Me: “This is another of
the 269 bad days the Weather Bu-
reau says we can look forward to
this year so I can’t hang out the
clothes and your shirts won’t get
done.”
Jeff: “Doggone it. I’ve got to
have a shirt tomorrow!”
(Only a few men will see the
point without further prodding.) .
Flattery: Me: “You’re so much
smarter than I am, explain some-
thing to me. One of the features of
the dryer I’d like to get is that it
automatically shuts off both the
heat and tumbler when the door is
opened accidentally or on purpose.
That’s an important safety factor
but I don’t know how it works.” 1
Jeff: “Sorry. I don’t know either.”
(Some mechanically-minded men
will jump at this opportunity.) <
Practical Approach: Me: “The new
dryer I have in mind has all sorts
of wonderful advantages like an
ultra-violet lamp to keep clothes
air-fresh, capacity of 20 pounds of
wet clothes, an automatic safety
thermostat, a smoother tumbler
surface that’s gentle on clothes,
only two dials to operate ...”
Jeff: "That’s nice.”
(Practicality is the thing a num-
ber of husbands can’t resist.)
Facts and Figures: Me: “Whirlpool
Corporation is the world’s largest
manufacturer of home laundry ap-
pliances and they say that a clothes
dryer actually saves 2,973 hours
over clothesline drying!”
I needn’t go into detail but it’s
the Facts and Figures that paved
the way toward convincing my-
type spouse. Now that I know the
format I won’t waste time with
hints, practical approaches or flat-
tery. As I say, once you have him
typed, the rest is easy!
