Industry Almanac
Reveals Figures
On CountrY's Assets
Economists Compare
American Way With
European Method
Behind The Scenes In
American Business
BY Reynolds Knight

NEW YORK, Feb. 8 The
farmer isn't the only one with
an almanac. Industry has one
too. And while the Economic
Almanac for l949, issued this
week by the National Industries
Conference Board, contains no
fascinating weather predictions,
it does have some catchy figures.
For exanple: the total dollar
value of all U S. farms, includ-
ing land, buildings and animals,
is $S7,743, 100000. That's equal
to almost one-third the national
debt. Some four million of the
total six million farms in the U. S.
are electrified.
Vehicles Totaled
And if someone were to sound
gigantic bugle called "assemb-
ly" to all citizens, everyone could
find seat in the nations 40 mil
lion autos and trucks. Thus the
entire nation could be on the
move with nary a pedestrian in
the lot.
Statistics the wonderful play
toys: There are only about la
million people in the U. S. But,
according to the Almanac, there
were 700 million passengers on
American railroads in 1913. Some
of us rode twice. And as for
telephones: New York City has
more telephones than all Asia and
South America combined. Judging
by a persons experience, most of
them are busy most of the time.
The American Way
American food distribution me-
thods have long been a source of
wonder to European businessmen.
Delegations from abroad often
come here to find out how we
distribute such vast quantities of
fresh foods at so little cost Now,
under ECA, an American is going
abroad to teach the American me-
thods to Europeans so that the

Just to show that some OF the
success stories we hear are true,
the example of a big insurance
company here might be given.
Not long ago the company sent
out its annual report to its stock
holders and asked them for COM
ment on it. One of these was re-
ceived by an advertising man who
proceeded to "take it apart" and
then wrote and told the company
what he thought was wrong with
their advertising. Instead of re-
senting his criticism, they re-
sponded and asked him to stop in
to see them. He did. 1t just hap
pened that at the time they were
looking for someone to handle
their advertising. They liked his
ideas and his presentation of them
so well that they gave him the
job.

Anyone who thinks there are a
lot of people in New York City
should see the statistics on rats.
The Board of Health states that
there are exactly two rats for
every New Yorker which means
that in round figures there are
about sixteen million of these
ranging rodents within the city's
limits. Therefore the school kids
have been asked to wage war on
these pests and they are going
after them with the avowed reso-
luton that if every New Yorker
will double in rat-riddance this
potent problem will be solved.

lately. He had just become fed

given it back to Uncle Sam, and
was preparing to pack up and
return to New England when Miss
Mason called. Would he play for
her at the Colony Lounge? He
certainly would.
This is something Of an added
break for Colony patrons, since
Mr.. Upton is an expert pianist.
He has a fondness for some Of the
less familiar works of Gershwin

with some top-notch music.
