Even before Idaho’s first stage coach service, Corby’s was a grand old Canadian name which meant fine whiskey. Today Corby’s, a light so ciable blend, carries on this quality tradition. Ask for it! CORBYS Produced in the U.S. A. under direct supervision oi our expert Canadian blender. You don’t want your dollars to buy less and less and less! You don’t want your savings to melt away! Or the value of your life insurance to dwindle! Yet that is what inflation can do to all of us. Therefore, thoughtful people everywhere are concerned with ways to smother it before it gets out of hand. 86 Proof, 68.4% Grain Neutral Spirits las. Barclay & Co..Ltd.. Penri*. |H<"ois One major cause of inflation is a short age of goods when people have money to spend for things they want. That cause can be eliminated by the production of goods — fast — in quantity. BUT THERE’S A BOTTLENECK During the war there wasn’t enough labor and materials to meet the needs of war and still produce all the civilian goods people wanted and could buy. Therefore price controls on civilian goods were substituted for competition to keep prices down. Today this country has all the labor and materials necessary to turn out the things people want.

Store shelves are still bare. The national pocketbook continues to bulge. Inflation grows. LET’S SMOTHER INFLATION.../! [ Why? Because price controls in peace time hinder the production of goods. Business cannot live by producing at a loss. And so, goo’ds that can't be made to sell at the prices fixed by the government just don’t get made. Nor will the raising of price ceilings solve the problem. When costs and selling prices are subject to change at any mo ment by government action, production has to be on a day-to-day basis. That means uncertainty . . . reduced output... more inflation. ISN’T THIS THE ANSWER? Remove price controls on manufac tured goods and production will step up fast. Goods will then pour into the market and, within a reasonable time, prices will adjust themselves naturally — as they al ways have — in line with the real worth of things. Competition has never failed to pro duce this result. This is the way you can get the goods you want at prices you can afford to pay. Please think this over. Then tell your representatives in Congress what you be lieve should be done. You owe it to your self ... and to your country’s welfare. postcard addressed to the National Association H •/ Manufacturers, 14 West 49th Street, New York 20, N.
