factories on this earth. And that is the reason why we, as people, have. the highest standard of liv- ing of any nation in the world. No other system in any country, at any time, by any other means has ever produced so much for SO many at such little cost as our 'capitaliStic' business does in America"
 Why Make A Prcfit?
 The company says frankly that 1t made money in l946 - about seven and one-half cents on every dollars worth of products sold. While this record is termed a mar row margin that calls for economy along the line, the report makes it plain that the company expects to keep on making money. All this, midst healthy competitors that cause them to keep putting out better products for less money. Tribute is paid to the keen compe- tition they meet as an effective price regulator
 "A company that can't make money is like a ship that can't float. Neither is safe for you and your family. A company may lose money for a short time, just aS a ship may spring a leak and take in water for short time, but if the losses and the leak can't be stop ped soon, the ship sinks and the company goes out of business. Passengers on the ship that sinks and employees of the company that fails are victims of disaster. |"

office, the matched barns. Once
he heard the crash of glass, and
knew the vaqueros were wrecklng
the powerhouse.
Soon a group of them, led by
Sloan, made their way toward the
dock, carrying cases of dynamite,
and Cliff felt the icy grip OF fear.
If they blew up his barges, he was
finished - without them he could
never bring the rubber down over
the rapids to the cargo ship. Even
if the rest of the camp was wreck
ed, he had a fighting chance to
deliver the rubber, but without the
barges-
He tried to sit up, but his hands
held him PROSTATE. Raising his
head, he could barely see Madison
and Sloan heading for the dock.
No doubt now-they e after the
barges. And in helpless agony his
fettered hands beat the earth.
Then-faintly he heard ia low
buzz OF motors from the river,
and he knew that Casey and his
men were coming at last. But the
vaqueros had heard it too. Shout
ing a warning, they began racing
down to the stream bank, and a
moment later he heard the impact
of their clash. Only a confused
roar at first. Painfully Cliff pulled
himself TO his elbow, just as a
second boat, damned with his
men, reached the dock. Casey, in
the bow, brandished a heavy
spade, and ever before the boat
touched the dock, he leaped, and
with n sweep of his weapon, sent
three vaqueros sprawling into the
river. BY now Cliffs men had
clambered from the launch, join
ing Casey, until the dock seethed
with a mas of fighting. snarling
men that wove back and forth as
the tide of battle ragged.
