A Riot of .

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.
