STEEL SHOWDOWN
The OPM and the steel industry
finally have taken drastic steps to
regulate supplies arid increase ca
pacity, but it took all kinds of nag
ging by the government to get them
to do it.
One of the most spectacular of
these nagging sessions took place in
the OPM board room recently and
was attended by Eugene Grace of

White House press secretary Steve
Early kept it to himself, but pri
vately he was sore at the bungling
of Churchill-Roosevelt press rela
tions. If they had left it to him,
the result would have been different.
American editors resented the fact
that first news of the meeting broke
in London. A let of other Ameri
cans resented the idea that news
about their own President had to

velt himself, not the British, was
to blame.
WITH ADVERTISING
Advertising and high prices do not go together at all.
They are extremely incompatible to each other. It Is
only the product which Is unadvertised, which
has no established market, that costs more then you
can afford to pay.
Whenever you go into a store and buy an item of ad*
vertised merchandise, it doesn’t make any difference
what, you ore getting more for your money—more in
quality and service—than you would get if you spent the
some amount for something which was not advertised.
