Back the Government to the Limit The Government has asked American busi ness to pursue a certain course for the dura tion of the war. Keep quality up and prices reasonable, —a strictly non-profiteering policy. It is the only patriotic policy. It is the policy this company has always adopted and the one we will continue to pursue. We stand ready to undergo any sacrifice in order to cooperate with the Government. We believe it is best for ourselves. We know it is best for our country. We appeal to all concerns—big and small— to adopt the same policy. American business must rally as s unit to the support of the Government. It is the surest and quickest way to win the war.
