PLAYTEX PARK
SALES MEET
Network of Statesmen Pour
Into Dover From Every
State In Union
THREE-DAY SESSION

Playtex statesmen from every
state in the Union held their semi
annual convention at the Interna-
tional Latex Corporation plant,
Playtex Park, Dover. The sales
force was brought in from every
division of the company primarily
to inspect the new addition to the
modern air-conditioned plant and
the new products it is producing.
Equally important is the fact that
this sales convention afforded the
employees at Playtex Park the. op-
portunity to personally meet the
men who are responsible for the
daily sales that create continuous
flow of work in the factory and
Office the year around. 1t is this
sales force, one of the the most
outstanding in the country, togeth-
er with the company's national ad-
vertising policy that makes possi-
bile the permanent employment in
depression times no less so than in
boom periods at Playtex Park.
Depression-Proof Enterprise
The history of the company,
from its very beginning when A. N.
Spaniel its president founded it in
1882 is a graphic example of what
can be accomplished in America
with an intensive national sales
and advertising program behind
quality products. 1t is generally
recognized in the industry that Mr..
Spanel's vision and leadership has
made the company depression
proof enterprise that assures its
employees not only job security
with the finest working condition,
but in addition to all this, an op-
portunity to share in the COM
pany's profits.
Smyrna times., 1947-08-07

Significantly, only two weeks
ago the company distributed its
ninth proit-sharing bonus at Play
tex Park where all employees were
assembled.
At the sales convention plans
were formulated for intensive sales
work in every territory in the ma
tion based on the assumption that
the factory must have a continu-
Gus flow or orders to insure job
security So weeks in the year. Mr..
Spaniel stressed the fact that this
constant flow of orders was
must" for the company even
though a business recession might
develop toward the end of the
year. He added this business
was depression-born, and it was in
the worst time in American busi-
ness history that the International
Latex Corporation was made to
grow even while old established
giant corporations were crashing.
Only as we build our sales pro-
gram intensively now can we as
sure for the future, as we have in
the past, continuous and uninter-
upted employment for every man
and woman at Playtex Park.
After a three-day session the
statesmen of the company returned
to their bases of operation
throughout the country.
1t is noteworthy that the Inter-
national Latex Corporation sells
its products to the leading stores
of the nation only through its own
sales force, and never through job
bers or wholesalers. This calls for
nationwide network of highly
trained sales experts who cover
every city, every town and hamlet,
selling Playtex products to the
largest as well as to the small
stores everywhere.

Scope Of General Electric's Monopoly OF
Lamps Cited In Government Brief
SI1PEU3

$500 it appears that SO per cent
of the total income was earned on
Fl per cent of the capital invested.
In other words, the rate of return
on capital invested in the lamp de-
rartment is 90 per cent higher than
the rate of return on capita invest
ed in the rest of the company. In
other years the rate was higher"
The government brief further points
out that "the rate of profit of General
Electric company as a whole was two
and a half times that of the average
rate of return of the American corpor-

Potatoes Sought By
YugOslavia

Although potatoes were being dump
ed in many parts of the country, the
U. S. Department of State denied the
request of the Yugoslay government
that it be allowed to buy some $4,000
tons. The Yugoslav minister of for
eigp trade Nikola Petrovitch, accused
reactionary forces in the United States
of using a strategy of hunger" to i'm
pose the will of this "monopolistic
group"
In turning down the Yugoslav offer
the state department asserted that
transportation facilities were not
available and that first priority on
food shipments must be given to Ger
many. Later the state department
was quoted as saying that it had
changed its mind and had lifted its
ban on Yuogslavian potato purchases
here. However. it did not state on
what terms the transactions could be
made, and. as yet, none have been re-
ported.

In it's antitrust action brief, the gov
eminent sets forth the following evil
dence to indicate how extensive is the
monopoly position held by General
Electric in the lamp industry;
"All modern high-speed automatic
lamp-making machinery manufactured
and distributed in the United States
is made and directly controlled by Cen
eral Electric.
"All machinery for producing all
types of glass bulbs, tubing, and cane
manufactured in the United States
for electrical purposes is made or di-
rectly controlled by General Electric
and Corning.
"All lamp-making machinery manu-
featured in the United States is made
or controlled by General Electric.
&c E. is the only manufacturer in
the US that sells complete line of
lamp bases"
Additional Disclosures
"G.E. and Corning produce practic-
ally all of the large glass bulbs, tub
ing, and cane used in the manufacture
of incandescent lamps in the us.
"G.E. manufactures or controls APP
proximately 80 per cent of the tung-
stem filament wire, lead-in wire and
support wire used in incandescent
lamps in the us.
"G.E. expanded it's distribution out
lets from 39,777 to 1891 !. and :.
together with the 10000 odd Westing-
house agents who are tied to the G.E.
scheme, dominates lamp
marketing in the us.
E. has monopoly of lamp pat
ents. This was secured by means of
it's license agreements with Westing-
house, the B licensees and foreign
companies, agreements with large do
nestle industrial concerns, namely
Telephone & Telegraph
Co. and Radio Corporation of America
and by it's deliberate effort to obtain
from the patent office patents cover
ing every aspect of the lamp and it's
no matter how trivial and
without regard to validity"
Monopoly Profits
The government charges in it's suit
that GEES lamp monopoly has en-
abled the company Ito make extraord- |
inarily high and exorbitant profits
profits so high as to go far in them
selves to prove the exercise of monop-
ply power. In the year 1889, it states |
hat the net profits of GEES lamp de-
Dartment amounted to $17,462, 1920 |
as compared with net profits of $48-

But the 30 had little choice either way. They were prisoners working under the supervision of armed deputy sheriffs.

Plan To Outlaw Reds Illegal, Declares Green
Urges Constitutional Meth. ods To Stop Spread Of
 Communism

WASHINGTON (LPA) = AFL President William Green last week threw the power of his organization against Congressional proposals to outlaw the Communist Party and declared such legislation would be unconstitutional.
 The AFL chief emphasized to the House Committee on Un-American Activities that There are many who would readily seize upon laws of this kind as happy means whereby to crush any opposition to their, own po- l1tlcal, social or economic views.
 Not by suppression but by exposure will the Communist danger be over come, Green declared. He assailed one bill, introduced by Rep. John Ran kin (D., Miss.) as "tantamount to a declaration of voluntary bankruptcy of the ideas and ideals of American democracy. This legislative proposal rests upon proposition lacking in national self-respect and wanting in patriotic faith, a proposition which every thoughtful American must flat ly reject
 Without minimizing the danger or odium of Communism" Green con- tinued, i've think it is accurate to say it has not reached the point in this
