Co. 4784 So. 6th Phono 7709 B ECAUSE of the recent termination of price control by government, a statement regarding our prices is offered to our customers, vendors, dealers, and employees, and to the general public. Since the establishment of Caterpillar Tractor Co. in 1925, the fixed policy of the Com pany has been to build ever better products ond to sell them at the lowest prices to a steadily increasing number of satisfied users. Under this policy the Company has grown strong and we intend to maintain this policy? As a consequence of our ability to offer good products at reasonable priees, we are re ceiving thousands of orders from an ever-widening market of satisfied customers customers who are performing constructive work, growing food, harvesting timber, building homes, mining, constructing roads, and a wide variety of other useful tasks. These customers would not buy our products if the prices did not permit them to perform the work at lower costs than could be obained by any other method. Natural price controls are always with us. They are enforced by the customer, the holder of the purse strings who has the freedom to buy elsewhere or not to buy at all. Recent events have restored to the seller both the freedom and responsibility of setting prices which will best serve the interests of customers, employees, and owners. Caterpillar Tractor Co. accepts its part in this important responsibility with the firm belief that, under present economic conditions, freedom and responsibility call for an unusual degree of com mon sense on the part of everyone until a more normal relationship between supply and de mand may be achieved. Pending that time, prudent planning on the part of ' individuals and business is badly handicapped without a reasonable degree of price stability. 0 Caterpillar Tractor Co. is pleased to state that it is maintaining present prices and will . continue diligently to devote its full energies toward the fulfillment of its time-proved policy.
