Words to the Wise ... “Good times in manufacturing have an important effect in all other branches of our economy. A job in industry, producing goods and services, is a guarantee that other jobs are being indi rectly created in suplying, selling, retailing, and in other occupa tions. So, while we cannot fairly expect industry to solve all our problems, it is proper to look with considerable interest at what manufacturing seeks to accom plish in the way of increasing op portunities.”—Harry Collins Spill man. “You can’t accomplish much just by sitting still and waiting for something to happen. So in dustry spends much of its time and much of its income in search ing for new things, new ideas, new products. This process is called industrial research. Thou sands of companies in every part of the United States maintain re search laboratories, where in ventors and scientists seek new products and perfect ones that we are using today. Last year, American industry spent over $200,000,000 in research work alone.”—Dr. John Richelson. Did You Know . .. That, acocrding to predictions in research circles, 25 per cent, of the textiles that will be used in this country five years from now will be made from materials not at present on the market? That the outdoor advertising industry in America each year distributes more than $30,000,000 in payrolls? That one U. S. manufacturing company alone buys 150,000 bushels of corn a day from the farmer? That federal government job holders now exceed in number all the workers in private construc tion and in all transportation— land, sea, and air—in the United States? That the average cost of an electric refrigerator was $550 back in 1921, and that research and mass production methods have combined to bring that av erage down to $169 at the pres ent time? The present war has proved that the battleship is no match for the airplane. For Rent or Sale: Radios, flash lights, watches, or anything that can be used on a week-end party.
