This leads us to say that families of a small size or with a large income were better able to stay out of debt than those of a large size or with a small income. ■ Summary Eighty-one per cent of the families investigated bought food by credit purchases and mostly in small quanti- ties. Of the remaining families, nine- teen made large scale retail purchases and nine small quantity cash purchases. The assortment of foods bought showed, in the majority of cases, a somewhat greater variety than tha...t suggested in the fair standard of living budget pre- pared by the Bureau of Municipal Research of Philadelphia.^* Taking the cost of food determined per adult male unit per week by that study as a stand- ard, and comparing it with the cost for the same unit to the families investi- gated, we find 25 per cent of the fami- lies were underfed. Moreover, the distribution of these families indicates that the probability of a family's being underfed increased with the size of the family but decreased with an increase in the size of the income.
