Future Prices on Products

1t is plain that price relief will be
needed to meet the increased
wage and material costs which
we must carry.
We regret this necessity. We
prefer to lower prices, when pos
sible, rather than raise them and
we know u customers prefer to
have us do that. We had hoped to
be able to hold the line" lat least.
But we do not see how we a
avoid operating at a loss if our
prices continue to remain at their
present frozen levels. We will
NOT cut corners on any of our
products, because QUALITY is
THE FOUNDATION OF OUR
BUSINESS.
Our customers can be certain
that we will seek no more than a
moderate profit, both because of
our policies and because We have
approximately 300 competitors
fighting us vigorously for your
business. Our request for price
relief will be no more than is nee
essary to insure continued service
to our customers, continued work
for our employees, and a aso
able return for Jul stockholders.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1946-04-15

There has been no general in
crease in our prices Slnce they UCye
frozen BY the Government early in
1912.
So our situation today is that
what we BUY costs US 1916 prices.
We will be paying average hourly
wages So above l94l. For what
We SELL we get only 1912 prices.
This condition cannot long be
met out of our present low rate
of profit.

ourselves, would consider it a

this figure. Our average profit for

All these figures show that u
profits are not high. As a matter

SOMETIMES, although an idea is wrong, it does no harm. Like the
idea that a square jaw is the sign of Will power. That winters
aren't as severe as they used to be, or that red hair denotes quick
temper.
But there are other wrong ideas, which are definitely harmful to
public confidence IN and understanding of industry. One such
idea is the current guessing about profits made by large bust
ness organizations.
Many people are apt to grossly exaggerate the money made by
business. SO Opinion Research Corporation IAN independent
organization made a survey to learn Just what the public thinks
about profits. Compare these guesses and yours with the Inter
national Harvester profit figures given below.
