With VictoMf Wan the West stands on the thresh-
old of a long-awaited new era. Under the pressure of war, this region has been
transformed into a great industrial empire situated amidst rich and varied natural
resources. Western Industry and Western Labor, with their record war-production
records, can now put the tremendous advances of war-born science and invention
to production for peace and for the rebuilding of a shattered world. Located on the
trade-routes of what will be tomorrow's heaviest flow of commerce and linked to all
the world through the miracle of modem transportation, this West will be at the
doorsteps of world markets. As one industry long associated with the West wo look
forward with high anticipation and unbounded confidence to the new era lust
beginning.
