What about future prices en-
farm machinery?

The judgment of Harvester 5 man
agemcnt now IS tina 1--WE cannot safe
ly make the huge wage increase
recommended by the Government
until the Government authorizes
adequate increases in the prices
of farm machinery to cover the
resulting Increased costs.
That is not a judgment that
makes us happy. The Company
does not want to raise prices. We
prefer to lower prices, when pos
siblc, and We know our customers
prefer to have us do that We have
produced at 1912 prices, and hoped
we could continue to do SO. We
have delayed seeking general price
relief in the hope that it could bc
aN Noldcd. Now we are convinced
that it cannot be avoided any
longer. The price question must
be settled. Until it is settled we
do not see how we can settle the
wage question. Until the wage
question is settled we do not see
how we can resume production
and begin turning out the farm
ma chimes which we know our
farmer customers need.
Because Of the important stake
which both farmers and city dwell
ers have in this controversy, We
are bringing these matters to your
attention. Through the cross cur
rents of today's conditions, We are
trying to chart course that is far
to our employees, TO our farmer
customers, and to our stockholders.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1946-03-15
What is the next step?

As you can see, our present stu
alton is that with frozen prices
and declining profits, we are asked
to pay higher materials costs and
to make the biggest wage increase
in the history Of the Company.
Can we do this?
Wages and materials consume
all but a few cents Of every dollar
we take in. If our prices continue
frozen, and cost of wages and

What about wages?

Wages have risen steadily for five
Gears. Before the strike which be
gan on january = in ten of our
plants and which has choked off
nearly all farm machinery produc-
ton, earnings Of employees of these
plants averaged Sl.l5 an hour,
not including any overtime. The
Union demanded "a cents per
hour increase and a Government
board has now recommended a
general increase Of Is cents an
hour, which would make average
earnings S 1881 : an hour Weekly
average would be S53. 40.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1946-03-15
What about profits?

Risk is part Of the American profit
and loss system, so we do not, of
course, ask either our customers
or the Government to guarantee
that we can be certain OF profits
each year The chart tells the
story of our profits during the war.
Although Harvester produced
more goods than ever before, it
had no desire to get rich out of war,
50 our rate of profit has steadily
gone down. What our 1916 profit
will be is extremely uncertain.

Letters of introduction
are ticklish problems.
Handle them with tact

WYE SHOULD not give letter of
" introduction" thoughtlessly
because it is a demand that the re-
ceiver show the bearer what atten-
ton or hospitality he can.
Not to do so would be an affront
to the one who wrote the letter, This
is especially true when we give
letter to a social friend, rather than
a business acquaintance.
A typical business introduction is
a card reading. Introducing John
Traveller. Will appreciate any cour-
tesy shown him." The addressee, if
he is busy when he receives the card,
can 60 to the reception room, make
an appointment for some time later.
If the bearer of the letter is the
personal friend of friend, his host
usually (time permitting) takes him
to lunch or home to dinner, or gives
him an introduction to someone
whom he especially wants to see.
Simpler in the Country
lHE successful city mans prob
lem of entertaining is not compar-
able with that of the successful man
in small town. Strangers coming
to town are few and SO when Paul
Rivers takes the afternoon of from
his work to take the friends of a
friend to the country club, it is an
unusual occasion. Therefore, he feels
free to take the time.
In big city, on the other hand,
Tim Townly receives letter of in
PRODUCTION from an old school friend
or an ex-service buddy not once or
twice during the year, but often
several times week. Much as he
might like to do something for the
visitors, he cannot take the after
noon from his work. or stay out for
late evening; nor can he procure,
Evening star., 1946-07-21

let alone pay for, the tickets to
games, theaters or tables at a club.
Special rules to be observed by
the givers and takers of letters of
introduction are these: To you who
are going travelling remember that
you seldom may ask for a business
letter of introduction, and never for
a social one.
You may, of course, tell friend
you are going to Bermuda for vaca-
ton and the friend can say, if he
cares to, "Oh, the Jim Joneses live
there! III give you letter. You and
they would get along wonderfully!
Advice to the Civer
10 THE giver. this is most impor-
tant: When you give Bob Bright
a letter to the Joneses. you should
at the same time send letter by
mail explaining that Bob is good
executive, golf player or just favor
ite friend with whom you 60 fishing.
Don't give letters of introduction
to anyone unless you really feel he
will be welcomed by those to whom
you introduce him. 1t is the hosts
who really have to be considered.
The visitor can leave when he wishes,
send his hostess some flowers and
the obligation is ended.
A visitor. who feels that he wants
to make some gesture to repay kind
nesses of his host, might give din
ner or theater party or send flowers
to the hostess with thank you note.
One last word to the giver: There
is no question whatever about
giving a letter to an attractive
bachelor. He will be welcome wher-
ever he goes.
But don't ask young man to 60
to see "the most lovely girl only to
have him find her the very opposite
of what this word means to him. In
short, put the question to yourself.
Do you really think they will like
each other? If in doubt, don't give
letter of introduction.
