This is one thing that all producers of useful things have T in common. And those of us whose job is production—whether of goods on farms and in factories, or of services in stores and banks and utilities —can best see the results of our work in the high standard of living which we have helped to create in America. For thia standard ta built on our ability to produce more per person than any other nation on earth. And the people of every country, who are looking hopefully to us for food and weapons, can count on America becauae it has this great productive might. After the war is over? Many people are talking about a richer life for all of us then. And they're rightl For that richer life will be brought about, not by promises, but by hard work on the part nt America’s producers. And they-those who row and make .nd do things—can do this post-war job better if they work together and understand each other. Central Electrit Co., Schenectady, N.
