Interesting Bits Of
Business In U. S.
General Motors delivered $206,
000,000 worth of war goods in August
?nearly a third more than in July;
its total employment hit a new high
of 313,000 in mid-September and

total construction of the American
Shipbuilding Company in the fiscal
year ending June 30 was 155 per cent
higher than for the previous twelve
month period . . . The onrush of ra
tioning of various commodities will I
make the printers feel good at least.
The extension of gasoline rationing
to a nationwide basis alone will have
presses throughout the country hum
ming at top speed for six weeks turn
ing out 60 million ration books, 60 I
million application forms, 91 million |
gummed sheets for preserving cou
pons and 100 million miscellaneous!
forms Although the Government |
Printing Office is a mighty big out
fit, it's planning to farm out most
of this job . , . Penny boxes of chew
ing gum are out for the duration, the
result of shortages of sugar and chi
cle . . A national restaurant chain
advertises for help: "Wanted?Men
over 50 . . Boys under 20."
