Cobb.
Possibility that the field might
be even further extended, westward
on the Blackfeet Indian reservation,
was the promise held forth by stiI
another well, Texaco's Black Bear
Tribal No. 1, c SW SW 29-35N-6W.
Chief development up in the
north part of the field, in the Madi-
son lime producing area, as the
week ended, was the completion of
Carter Oil Company's No. 4 Harmon,
G NV Sc 12-36N-6W, as a flowing
well with an initial of 90 barrels
daily, through Il inch choke.
The Doorenbos well, in C NE NV
12-36N-6W, is now the most north
erly active operation in the field,
and is also a quarter of a mile west
of any present production in the
Madison lime pool. Casing has been
run and it is now waiting for ce-
ment to set, after topping the lime
at 3166 and drilling to total depth
of 3I81.
Slightly more than q miles south
of this well, at the extreme southern
end of the field, just across the line
in Pondera county, A. B. Cobb is
starting his No 2 Security State
Bank, NV NE NE 1-31N-6W. This
is a west offset to his No. Security
State Bank, now the only well in
the Cut Bank field producing in a
location south of the Glacier-Pon-
dera county line
And west of any present produc-
ton in the field, the Texas Com
pany has spudded in its No. Tribal
Black Bear, seven miles northwest
of Cut Bank. 1t is half mile south

What IS rour GuEsS1
on ou1 profits.

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 BUSH
ness organizations. ~r~A- ~~<R@
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.
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1946-04-26

Wages and materials consume
nearly all of every dollar Har-
vester takes in from sales. A Gov
eminent board has recommended
and the Company has agreed to
pay a general wage increase of IS
cents per hour for Harvester fac
tory employees. The Government
has also allowed price increases
on raw materials which we pur-
chase in large quantities. Steel
has had an average increase of
8.2%.

In this survey, the average of the
guesses by the public of the war

! But in the four war years of
1912, 1943, 1914. and 1945, the
profits of international Harvester
Company averaged only -. 4.9%
on sales. Less than one sixth of
what the general public guessed
for all industry.
For this period. the year by

There has been no general in
crease in our prices since they were
frozen by the Government early in
1912.
So our situation today il that
what we BUY costs US 1916 prices.
We will be paying average hourly
wages 56% above 1941. For what
we SELLwe get only 1912 prices.
This condition cannot long be
met out of our present low rate
