TALLY because some rubber will be

suit OF the quick butadiene de-

Considerable quantities of raw

isobutylene and from 1000 10

lenes would be produced.
The fact that consumption Of

FtUo Hep Influences

Two new Influences are ctr

tendency.
First. even before the war,
political opposition developed 10
building up very large corporate
SURPRISES in cash. The corpor-
ate undivided profit tax was de-
signed TO put a penalty on with
holding funds from Stockhold-
erS. Even though this law has
been modified. some important
managing directors of corpora

counsel that they might be sub

Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-08-09


As a result OF this trend and
other factors, the whole charac-
ter OF commercial loans at the
banks changed. The strong cor
porations became increasingly
independent OF bank credit. This
process was further heightened
by the quickening Of the physi-
cal tempo OF business. Freight
and express service became
more rapid and as a result
businessmen found that they
could reduce the inventory
needed TO carry on given vol
ume OF business. Depending on
smooth flow Of commerce,
they developed the habit Of
hand to mouth buying.
A sign OF excellent industrial
management was forbearance
in regard 10 distributing profits.
Many companies made il a rule

porate savings available for the
