Laffs EvenU UIT SHOW WHAT are the PURCHASING AGENTS DOING? Every bis company has one or more men whose entire time is devoted to baying the things which that company needs. These men are specialists. It is their business to know prices , . . materials ...sources of supply . . . present and future trends. They are the shrewdest, canniest buyers in the world. But all of us, in a small way, are purchasing agents. We have to buy a certain number of things, if only to keep alive. And most of us aren't very skillful at it. We waste a lot of money. We miss the good bargains. In fact, we could learn a great deal by watch ing a professional buyer at ' his work. At this time, especially, it may be helpful to know what the big purchasing agents are going. Are they cutting down? Are they open, ing up? Do they think this is a. good time to buy or a bad time? What do they think about the fu ture? Wen, the answer is that they are all buying as fast as they can buy. And they are buying because o they know that prices are going up. 'Tig iron has advanced 13." the purchasing agent of a $20, 000,000 corporation recently said. "Brass is up 42't, I am paying 41 more for lumber than I did in March, and fiber packing cases have doubled in price. In fact, everything we use in this business is costing us more today, and will in my opinion cost us still more tomorrow. I believe ...that many commodities will it back to or near 1929 levels by spring." That's the way the professional purchasing agents feel about it. And they know. They have spe cial sources of information. They are closely in touch with Industry. They have studied the workings of the NRA codes. , Prices are going up. And it's a good thing for everyone. For ' things had come to the point where nothing had any true value. - A man's time ... his product ... his property ... all had "Sunk so low in value that he could n't even get a decent living. That couldn't go on. So the Government set up the machinery of the NRA codes in order to make everything worth something again. This process is now under way. Wages are being raised. Commodi ties are bringing better prices every day. But it is not yet over. Before fair values . . . living values . . . can be reached, prices will have to go higher than they are now. Before they do, take a leaf from the purchasing agent's book, and lay in a supply of the things you need. There are many good bar gains still to be had. But these stocks are strictly limited. Now is the time to buy.
