Maybe you read that recent ar ticle in a national magazine, claim ing that American men don’t really like the company of women. They just put them up on a pedestal and leave them there. But I wouldn’t say that that was so in our town. Look at any mar ried couple—like the Cuppers. Jane wouldn’t nag if Dee spent his evenings “with the boys”—but actually Dee likes nothing better than to stay home by the fire, sharing a glass of beer with Jane, playing cribbage, or just talking. And when he does go out, for an afternoon of fishing down at Seward’s Creek, or for an evening glass of beer at Andy Botkin’s Garden Tavern, Jane is almost al ways with him (except when she’s got a spot of baking in the oven). From where X sit, respect doesn’t rule out everyday com panionship . . . and never should. They go together—essential parts of a successful marriage. Copyright, 1947, Unitea States Brewers Foundation o Any price is too high if it ctm he reduced International Harvester announces *20,000,000 price reductions We believe there is nothing more important to this country than to lower the prices of the goods that people buy. The American people have insisted that the government withdraw from its attempts to control prices in peacetime. That places the responsibility where it belongs—in the hands of business and industry. Not all business can reduce prices now. Not all can reduce by the same amount. Our company has felt a duty to act as promptly as possible. In our case, the busi ness outlook now makes it possible to move toward the goal of lower prices. The only way out of the vicious circle of higher and higher prices is to break through. We have taken this step not because of present competitive conditions nor because of a drop in demand from customers. We have taken it because of our belief that ANY PRICE IS TOO HIGH IF IT CAN BE REDUCED. These reductions, which will save the users of our products approximately $20,000,000 a year, will become effective before April 1, and will apply to a selected list of tractor, farm machine, motor truck, and industrial power products. Since we lose money on a few of our products, and barely break even on some others, these reductions will not apply to our entire line. Reductions will be made indi vidually on products. Some will be cut more than others. Exact details will be announced as soon as possible. Our ability to maintain this lower level of prices will depend in part on what happens to the prices and flow of materials that we buy from others. Because we believe price reduc tion is vital, we are willing to assume the risks that are involved. flfl prices had not gone up as much or as fast as many others Here ore Average Prie» Increate! since 1941 All Manufactured Products.................

This is not a program that can be carried out if it is hampered by strikes or work stoppages. Our employes have had substantial in creases in pay, and wage questions are cur rently being discussed with many of the unions with which we deal. Stockholders have re cently had an increase in dividend rate. Having considered the interests of these two groups, we are now making these price reductions for the benefit of the third group—our customers. * Business, to our way of thinking, has a so cial as well as an economic responsibility. This company has long followed the policy of op erating in the interests of three groups —its customers, its employes and its stockholders. The duty of the management is to see that equal justice is done as between the three groups. This price reduction program is another demonstration of our policy in action. INTERNATIONAL H HARVESTER •
