(1) An Enquiry into People's Homes (2) War-time Pattern of Saving and Spending

Abstract

(1) ALL but the least observant would agree that the war motive that governs the actions of the people of Great Britain is not only to defeat the common enemy but also to create by exertion and example a nobler Britain and a happier world. This report has been prepared by Mass Observation for the Advertising Service Guild as a contribution to the responsible task of rebuilding a better Britain ; with its publication these two bodies have earned the gratitude of every man of goodwill.
