Seed Money There's only one thing more foolish than killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. That's living up the money that has been put away to buy the seed for next year's crops. Although G-E turbines and lamps and refrigerators don't grow from any seed you can buy at a seed store, yet any manufacturer-no matter what he makes -has a seed problem juft the same. For next year's models, and improved designs, and new products-all these cost money. Money for research, and engineering, and new tools, and advertising to tell the public v'where a product can be obtained, and how much it will cost And the only place this money can come from is out of past 'earnings, or borrowing on the promise of earnings in the future. iln other words-from seed money. From the seed of research and engineering, planted in years past by General Electric, have come some pretty amazing crops. Incandescent lamps five times as efficient as Edison's, 'vacuum tubes that made radiobroadcasting possible, refrigetw ators for the home and electric machines for industry to make 'important jobs easier. Right now the crops we're growing are all of the "Victory Garden" kind-weapons that are serving with our armed forces on land and sea and in the air. But we mustn't neglect the seed money for the future. WeTe looking forward to the continuance of the industrial system that will allow us to open up and cultivate other new and prom 'ising fields. So, tomorrow, look for important developments in television, fluorescent lighting, plastics, electronics. These will be familiar words in the post-war world. GENERAL ELECTRIC Company, Schenectady, N.
