i Some merchants in some sec
tons have sharply curtailed their
advertising on the plea that they
can no longer secure merchandise.
Such practice is a mistake. There
isn't store of any consequence
that cannot get merchandise of
some sort. The thing to do, is to
advertise the merchandise that
the store has. Who knows some
one may want to buy those very
items. To quit advertising and
crawl into a shell because some
items cannot be secured is plain
defeatism and is not typical of
the aggressive American spirit.

STILL ADVERTISING

We have written before of the
importance of advertising and its
economic pattern on our lives.
This has been the popular way of
business men to contact the pub
lie and make it aware of their
industry and manufacture. The
bill for advertising in our ma
TONS newspapers and magazines
has been one to stagger. When
war gave certain reductions in
goods there was an idea that
perhaps national advertising
would be curtailed to a great ex-
tent. There is a change of wording
generally that the readers in Ken
neWick have noticed. Besides be-
ing a means of instructing the
buyer of merchandise the adver-
tiser now becomes of great value
in the defense effort through the
pushing of bond selling, of recruit
ing more men and women for
our armed forces. There are the
public-spirited ads that deal with
salvage drives and promoting
them. Notice the ones written to
instill added patriotism and appre-
citation by stressing the hardships
and valor of our men over seas.
And along with this type of adj
vertising comes the selling of
goods, keeping up the morale of
the people by offering them what
is at hand and asking them to
submit with grace to reductions in
merchandise. Manufacturers are
keeping their names before the
public when possible in order to
keep their place in the business
roster of postwar trade. ..

Look for a considerable re-

self, subordinates now reporting
to one official reporting to
someone else. That will be the
Washington shift but it will have
n particular effect outside the
capital. The Controlled Ma
terials plan and the Industry
Advisory committees will con-
tinue operating along the lines
now laid out, with minor shifts
in GIMP from time to time as
bugs develop and have to be
eliminated. Otherwise, no major
changes in WPB machinery.
Where the nelson Wilson
plans will really affect war pro-
duction industries will be in
taking some contracts away from
some manufacturers and CIV
ing them to others. While at first
glance this might seem to be a
cause for considerable confu-
sion in industry, WPB spokes-
men insist that it will not have
that effect.
On the other hand, they be-
lieve the redistribution of some
contracts will smooth out war
production and result in greater
production. Contracts will not
be "renegotiated" in the sense
that contract prices will be re-
duced, and no contractor will
make any less profits on his OPP
erations as a result of redis-
tribution.

tended to give more dependable
production, steadier production,
with fewer layoffs or shut
downs because of a lack of raw
materials or component parts
for assembly into finished ma
terials of war.
1t is Chairman Nelson's belief
that war production can be in
creased by as much as 20 per
cut through this orderly hand
ling of war contracts, and with
out necessarily cutting civilian
requirements to the barest ne
cessities.
AS an example, Nelson men,
tons the case of one war con-
tractor, Company X, employing
highly skilled labor, which was
found to have fourth of its
productive capacity devoted 20
the manufacture of parts which
did not require highly skilled
labor. BY taking this work away
from Company X and reassign-
ing it to other companies, the
full capacity of the plant was
devoted to precision work on
which it was behind schedule.
Bringing it up to schedule en-
abled other companies depend
ent upon the parts furnished by
Company X to get up to their
schedules.
Nelson and Wilson plan to use
WPB field men to scout out
plants in which production may
be increased by getting them
needed material, machine tools,
or solving their manpoWer prob
lens, thus eliminating peaks
and valleys of output and in
surfing a steadier flow of ma
terials in and out of the factory.
The actual job of reassigning
the contracts, however, will of
course be the work of the Army
and Navy procurement services
which let the contracts in the
