The folk in question are manufac-
turing refrigerators and air condi-

Now, it is a commonplace that we
need some new sort of an improve
ment now and then in these DAYS to
stir up demand, as the automobile did
for nearly a generation. But the auto
is ahead of it's market now.
What else? Air conditioning &C.
casionally has been mentioned as q
thing that every household cannot but
want if obtainable on reasonable
terms.
Yet it has not been vigorously push

Well, what, exactly, is the matter?
Our air conditioners reply, Lax sales

They continue:
1T is the Ioelief of this corporation
that simple formula will help re-
store employment, purchasing power
and prosperity to this nation.
THE formula, which we feel sure is
the key to better business, consists
in building the salesman's morale to
a point where he believes, as we do,
that he is a figure of prime impor-
lance in our economic scheme.
I'VE are convinced-and we want
to instill this conviction into the
minds of those who contact the tuli-
mate buyer-that the salesman, thro-
ugh untiring work, not only creates
the desire to own other mems pro-
ducts, but provides the employment
that furnishes SLlll greater marKer
for the countless products of farm
and factory
Thus the salesman is one of the
most important men in America to-
day, possessed of the power, if he acts
in concert with his Acknowledgement,
to help this country back to pros
perity."

GOLD VALUE FIXED
FOR CERTIFICATES
Treasury Will Use Basis of $35
an Ounce, Its Monetary Value
and Cost Price.
Ay the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Gold certificates which the Treas
ury will spend under modification of
its gold sterilization" policy will be
issued on the basis of a gold value Of
$35 per ounce, officials said yesterday.
This is both the legal monetary
value and the cost price of gold to
the Treasury.
Gold differs in this respect from
silver, which has a legal value of
$129 per ounce, a price of 64.64 cents
an ounce when newly mined from
American mines, and an international
value of about As cents. The Treas
ury issues silver certificates in the
amount of the silver's cost-not its
legal value.
Silver certificates circulate among
the public, but only the IL Federal
Reserve banks are permitted to hold
gold certificates.
The Treasury announced today that
the first 100000 900 of gold it &C.
