Our average profit for the last ten yearefour war and tix peace 6.43 more than a third let than what the public consider fair. i All these figures show that our profits are not high.

In 1944, the Federal Trade Commission published a list of 76 in- dug tries ranked in order of their ratio of profits to sales. Ths farm machinery industry was 67th on ths list What Usst Csrrsat I rrfeesT When ths War ended and we planned our peace-time production, ws had hoped to be able to serve our farmer customers at ths same level which has held sines 1942, regardless of war-time in. creases in coats of wages and ma- naArwmtm terials up to that Urns.

Mr. Branton's new work will be to Assist in de signing and building the equipment necessary for this experimental work, i Wages and materials consume nearly all of every dollar Harvester takes in from sales.

A Gov- eminent board has recommended and the Company has agreed to pay a general wage increase of 18 cents per hour for Harvester factory 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. eO There ha been no gener create in our price since frozen by the Government early 1942. So pur situatlonjtoday is that what we BUY costs us 1946 prices.

Ws will be paying average hourly wagea 56 above 1941. For what we SELL ws get only 1942 prices. This condition cannot long be met out of our present low rate of profit Fstsrs friess sa I frtsscts It is plain that pries relief will be needed to meet ths increased wags and material costs which ws must carry. We regret this necessity. We prefer to lower prices, when po sible, rather than raise them and 1 we know our customers prefer to have us do that Ws had hoped to be able to "hold the line," st least But we do not see bow we can avoid operating at a lose if our prices continue to remain at their present fro sen levels.

We will NOT corners" on any of our products, because QUALITY IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR BUSINESS? Our cuatomers can be certain that ws will seek no mors than a moderate profit both because of our policies snd because ws have approximately 300 competitors fighting us vigorously for your business. Our request for price relief will bs no mors than nec aaary to insure continued service to our customers, continued work for our employe, and a reason, able return fur our stockholders. a- nnn airrfifj V'Ss 1 aiii-- heyatm Sometimes, although an idea ia wrong, it does no harm. like the Sdea that A square jaw ia the sign of will power.

One such idea is the current ''guessing" about profits made by large business Many people are apt to grossly exaggerate the money made by business.
