FORTUNATELY, there's a
way to do something about
both of these hazards. A

place, you create an estate

Becond place, you guaran
tee an income for your old
age, when security and in
dependence are most need
ed.

Wages have risen steadily for five
years. Before the strike which be
gan on January 21 in ten of our
plants and which has choked off
nearly all farm machinery produc
tion, earnings of employes of these
plants averaged $1.1534 an hoar,
not including any overtime. The
Unttn demanded a 34 cents per
hoar increase and a GoYermflBnt
board has now recommended a
general increase of 18 cents an
hour, which would make average
.11.83)4 an hour. Weekly
would be $53.40.
No ens seems to know how high
materials costs will go. The Gov
< eminent has increased steel prices
as much as $12.00 a ton, with an
average increase for all grades of
8.2%. Steel is the most important
material we buy, but prices on
other materials are also increasing.
There hoe been no general increase
in our prices eince they were froeen

Risk is part of the American profit
and k>ae system, so we do hot, of
course, ask either our customers
or the Government to guarantee
that we can be certain of profits
each year. The chart tells the
story of our profits during the war.
Although Harvester produced
more goods than ever before, it
had.no desire to get rich out of war,
so our rate of profit has steadily
gone (down. What our 1846 profit
will be is extremely uncertain.

operate at a loss at some point.
Hie exact point at which oper

matter of judgment. Government
agencies and union leaders may
have opinions as to where that
point is. But if they turn out to
be wrong, they can shrug their
shoulders and say: "Well, it wasn't
my reeponsiblity. I didn't make
the decision."
Hie management of this Com
pany cannot and will not say that.
It dares not gamble. It has to be
sure. Continuation of our service
to millions of customers, the fu
ture jobs of thousands of em
ployes, and the safety of the in

Top honors of 1946 were won by
men in the Washington district of
the Home Security Life Insurance
Company.
"Mr. C. L. Ivey of Farmville is
our first $100,000 man on Paid-For
Ordmary. In 1044 he dosed the year
with $82,000 Paid-For Ordinary to
his credit and in 1944 he passed the
hundred thousand dollar mark and
dosed the year with $111,500.00. This
is an important milestone in the his
tory of our Company and we are
very proud of Mr. Ivey for having
been the first Home Security man to
reach and pass the $100,000 mark on
Paid-For Ordinary hi the period of
one year."
