you can interest your customers in a
period such as this by marking-up

manufacturers who have done so will
probably regret their decision. In
making this statement, I realize that
certain fixed costs, such as taxes and

higher or unchanged prices. The
quickest way to yank business out

about a substantial mark-down in re-

New Missing,Link

Washington, Dec. 1O.-(AP)-A
new missing link between man
and the higher apes has just been
discovered on the island of Java,
the Carnegie Institute of Wash

Dutch scientist, and a research
associate of the institution, re-

of teeth of this part ape, part hui

This ancient man, he said, ''is the
most primitive fossil man now
knows
John Merriam, institution pre-
sident, said the discovery is one
of the most important finds in
many decades" The new speci-
men, he said, proves that Pithe-
canthropus man had progressed
above the mental and physical
level of the great apes and also
that man had been walking up
right and using his hands and
brains for about one million years.

the commodity price pendulum swung

Raw materials, which were snapped

now more than they want goods or
