Five Year Rise
In Consumer
Spending Here
To get an idea of just how much the Rappahannock County economy has grown in recent years, it is necessary to look back beyond 1970 and note the changes that have taken place. The extent of that growth, since the beginning of 1965, is brought out vividly in figures released by Sales Management. They show that retail business in the local area, a major indicator, went up 80 percent in the five-year period since 1965. The gain was made despite consumer feelings over the war in Vietnam and despite domestic problems and higher taxes which led them to be more conservative in their spending during the last year or two than they would have been otherwise.
