Further savings will be made on these
jobs. And savings will be made on thousands
of other jobs in the enormous war production
program of American industry.
This program of making savings in produc-
ton will go on because it is the very root of
our industrial system American industry has
reducing costs, improving the quality, and
increasing production. The process has given

our Company has made to the government
which means to you who pay the governments
bills-amount to more than $1600O,OO0 That
is the difference between the original price
and the price today. That is the savings, the
money you will not have to pay.
These price reductions were voluntary
They stemmed from pledge, made officially
by this Company, that we would handle all
war work at no more than moderate profit
and that we would give the government the
benefit of manufacturing savings by volun-
tarily reducing prices whenever possible. That

Small things? Yes. Small as so many drops

when you put together thousands of improve

STORM DAMAGES
 STATE PROPERTY
By United Press)

The most severe electrical storm of the season swept Connecticut yesterday and last night, causing in- jury to at least two persons and considerable property damage.
 Two barns on the property of Mrs. Jennie Nichols, 70, Pennington, were burned. Neighbors saved some equipment from one of the build- ings.
 Lightning struck another barn, on the farm of Isadore Untracht at Colchester, causing estimated dam age of $5000.
 At New Britain, high wind blew out a large plate glass window of the Birnbaum furniture store, and the storm disrupted about 50 tele- phones.
 Work was halted for several hours at the Marlin Firearms Company at New Haven when lightning twice struck a transformer in a power house. A workman was burned severely on the arm.
 One accident was attributed to the storm. At New Britain, John Kelly, New York, was run down by an automobile operated by Everett H. Prince, New Britain, during a heavy rainfall. At New Britain hos pital 1t was said Kelly's condition was not serious
