Ophidiophobia is an abnor.

Evening star., 1947-04-18

We hear lot Of expansive and profound converse
ton today on the subject of lower costs reduced
profits, restrained mark-up and bolstered buying
power
But like Pharaoh's dream Of the Fat Cows and the
Lean Cows, most of the conversation needs an in
terpreter because the facts aren't generally
understood, either by the public or by businessmen
at large
Pharaoh's dream seemed clear enough, once it was
explained that the land was to enjoy Seven
Full Years Of Plenty followed by Seven Years
OF Famine and Privation.
. But the present day-dreaming in which our econ
omy is engaged might well be ikened to the
Pharaohs nightmare because we seem to be
heading in the same direction
And unless steps are taken NOW -. with con-
fdence and courage we're setting up full
dress rehearsal for repeat performance of the
Seven Lean Cows eating up the Seven Fat Cows.
. All the progress we've made H.. all the victories
we've :. all the prosperity we've enjoyed by
virtue OF our enormous wartime production !.
all of it may shrink and dwinde to the point of
nothingness and all the oratory and lp-service
in the world won't stave off the inevitable
. WHO WANTS SEVEN LEAN YEARS?
Certainly the people do NOT :. . neither does
business neither does government :. neither
does the working man or the farmer.
THEN, WHY HAVE SEVEN LEAN YEARS?
That's the $64 question, which has been skillfuly
Juggled upstage and downstage, and yet no clear,
concise action has been taken . . except in remote
spots and on penny-ante basis
We think the Retailer has stake in this . a
big stake -. and an undenable obligation to the
consumers of America.
That obligation is leadership and craftsmanship .
not soap box oratory, fagwavng, or self-righteous
breast-beating.
The Retail Industry more than any other, is truly
representative of the private citizen and has
right to speak for the public not only because
so many millions of Americans are engaged in Re-
failing -. but because every one of us is con-
sumner, and every family in our land does business
with the Retail merchant.
Evening star., 1947-04-18

To him they for their wants and needs .
every hour of every working day, and every work.
Ing day throughout the year. To him they tell, by
their purchases, just exactly what they want . . .
and they also tell him, by the simple process of re-
lection, the things they do not want and why.
None could be so blind as to ignore the growing re-
sistance to merchandise priced beyond the average
familys income >. because cycles of prosperity
and depression do not start with business :. they
start with the consumers pocketbook. And many
prices are outrunning that pocketbook.
Thus the Retailer, spokesman for consumers is
obligated to take the initial step. Recriminations
against suppliers, professors and manufacturers
will avail nothing because positive action must
be taken at the point of sale where goods and cash
pass over the counter
Merchandise must be kept flowing through the
channels OF distribution. Inventories must not pile
up in warehouses and stockrooms. People must
buy and business must sell . to sustain full
production to keep our people gainfully and
happily employed . to assure leveling-out
process that will bring prices into ne and make
the consumers dollar buy dollars worth
Who wants seven lean years7
We can't find anybody who wants seven lean years
or seven lean months, for that matter
We can't find anybody willing to go on record +.
and yet there has been concerted action to do
anything about it.
Evening star., 1947-04-18

II we are to foster and nourish free enterprise
system we must have full production and full en-
ployment sufficient goods for all =. at prices
people can afford. We must constantly seek ways
and means OF raising our standards of living :.
not lowering them. We have the resources, the
manpower, the "know-how," to achieve these vital
objectives and we must not fater at the way
will work itself out. Because It WON'T :. '''''s
. The Hecht Company cannot subscribe either to the
theory or practice Of Letting the Other Fellow Do
It,. We have, for many weeks, examined, anayzed
and scrutlnlzed our inventories with the posi-
tive determination to bring our prices down ;. /.
in every classification of goods in entire store
where such reductions necessary or possible.
This merchandise will be offered to the consumer in
our daily newspaper announcements and over the
counters and as more and more merchandise
becomes available to us at lowered price levels,
these goods will likewise be passed on to the public
-. at the lowest possible prices consistent with
honest and intelligent business Judgment
We think the long-range viewpoint is more impor-
tant to business than the "quick dollar" and we
have instructed our merchandisers and our BUYERS
to resist unwarranted prices in every market and
to insist on sound quality for the prices We shall
continue to adhere to this policy.
. To our fellow merchants throughout America, we
venture the hope that this step on our part may
help to set pattern for balancing the consumers
dollar against a dollars worth of goods ;. and
that every merchant in his own community, will ac-
cept the challenge to do his part not in hysteria
or panic but with the firm conviction that his
objective is identical with that Of his customer
to keep the wheels of distribution rolling ;. to
make available to all the people, all the things they
need at prices all can afford to pay.
To our Suppliers and Resources throughout the
land, We add one additional note of caution: the
full responsibility for our economic well-being
does not belong to the retailer alone. Everybody
has share In the total job industry, govern
ment, farmer and labor alike :. and there must be
exercised decent restraint in costs and profits .
all the way back to the supplers Of the raw material
To the Public, we pledge our best efforts and our
constant watchfulness in this program with the
deep and sincere belief that through cooperation
and understanding, we can yet avoid the conse-
quences Of the Pharaoh's Dream.
. Who wants seven lean years, anyway?

On Main Street

We feel little like celebrity
now. We were actually mentioned
in the Lions Club bulletin. They
said some very nice things about
us, but we thought the very incest
was the little statement which de-
clared that since we were anti
scout, our suggestion would be ig-
nored. Thanks boys, but you could
have given us top billing.
Just to prove we're not anti
scout-it's the opinion in this
quarter that when Harold Senger
donated a piece of land to the Ath-
letic Association to be used to
make a softball field, it was one of
the incest things that's happened
in Smyrna since Christmas. Maybe
when and if the lights are put up,
the A. A. would let the Scouts use
it. They certainly got a bang out
of those baseball games this sum-
mer.
