Herman Paid OFF!

Host AZ that success dinner, ,
which marked the completion OF
the deal, was Herman August,
attorney for the American Malt
ing Co.-and thereby hangs a
tale.
More than a year ago Herman
recommended TO the Society for
Savings that a price of 100000
be put on the factory IF they
wanted 10 make an immediate
sale" He made the mistake OF
putting il in writing.
"Tf you wish 10 dispose of the
plant AT THIS TIME, I be-
lieve that 100000 Is fair
price. I'm sure you can't get
more than that and, II YOU do.
I'll put on party In your
honor" he wrote 10 banker
France.
The other day Herman got a
huge enlarged photostat of his
letter by special messenger--but
mysteriously in the reproduction
the words "at this time" had
disappeared from the letter.
Herman rushed 10 the nearest
mirror and consulted with his
personal attorney. After con-
siderable haranguing, his attor-
ney advised him that he was
hooked" so he put on a real
party at the Fort Shelby Hotel
for the bankers, attorneys and a
couple of members OF the press.
Somewhat embarrassed at the
trick they'd played on our Her
man. the Cleveland crowd pre-
sented him with a beautiful
sterling silver cigaret box en-
graved with the picture of the
malt company and their names
our Herman doesn't smoke,
incidentally.

Predicts New
High in-Postwdr
Living Standards

NEW YORK, April Is (UP)-
Americas living standards are
likely to reach a new high after
the war ecause Of extensive
pcacetime planning programs now
being prepared by industry, the
National Association Of Manufac-
.turerS predicted today.
Hundreds of firms are study
ing ways To provide full employ
ment, develop new products, new
methods and better distribution
"a NAM report said.
Picturing a decentralization
trend in manufacturing because
of development of industrial IA
ciiitieS for war purposes in pre-
ViouSly remote areas, the report
said there would be opportunities
for rural and small town workers.
INDUSTRIAL SKILL
These persons. who have not
previously worked In factories
are now employed in new war
plants In their own localities,
developing industrial skill. and
they are becoming familiar with
higher standards OF living than
were previously possible for
Them" the report continued.
The NAM said numerous OBJ
Solete factories in CongeSted areas
probably would be closed down
and indicated that the new war
plants would be converted TO peace
time production TO replace them.
CREATE NEW MARKETS
The report warned that peace
time planning would have TO await
congressional action on such prob
lens AS taxes. disposition of gov
eminent held production facilities,
termination Of government con-
tracts and securities and ! a b o r
Legislation.
Other trends predicted by the
NAM were voluntary decline
in the employment of women, new
markets created by population
shifts and new field for skilled
workers to be filled by men COM
Ing back from war.
