THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY. HERTFORD, N. a, FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1941 PAGE SEVEN ft 1 " -v A THIS C0SIHE53 CP IS IUIAN THAYIR f ' 1 THE INDUSTRIAL TRIANGLE It was a small (white house set in a flower-bordered lawn on the edge of town. Very like other houses on the same street and on similar streets in other cities. And the scenes that occur in it are pretty typical of what is happening' in many places in America today. First Mary came home following an afternoon of shopping. Grandpa was sitting on the porch, and Mary paused to talk to him, a light of pleasure in her eyes. "You know, Gramps," she said, "I bought the prettiest print dress today and I got a grand bargain! I'm pretty proud ofp my shopping ability right at this moment.'7 Gramps was still sitting there, smiling at Mary's remark, when John arrived home from the day at the factory. "Hello, Pa," he said. "Boy, things are booming down at the plant! Looks to me like a good time for the boss to raise wages." Mary came out and stood in the doorway as John made his declara tion. "Maybe the boss would have to raise prices, too, or maybe cut town on the dividends, but it would make things a lot better for us." Gramps carefully knocked the asn es out of his pipe before replying. "Funny you two should both be talk ing the way you are today," he re marked. "Mary is interested in prices. She wants them to stay down. You're interested in wages you'd like to see them go higher, even if it means raising prices. And then you mentioned dividends " "Yes?'' Mary and John were both following his discussion closely, and interrupted in the same breath. "Well, you know I have a little stock, and the dividends help .me chip in on the household expenses And then the three of us have a little money put away in the bank and in insurance policies and the bank and the insurance companiy have some of that invested in industry in the hope of a fair return " "Well, Gramps, that's pretty true," John agreed. "But what's the solu tion?" "I think I see it," said Mary eager ly. "Here, Gramps, if youH lend me your pencil." She rapidly drew a triangle on the hack page of the evening newspaper. "Look This is like industry. It has three different angles to it and we fit into each one of the angles at various times. When John gets his paycheck, he's in the worker's angle. When I take the money he earns to shop for us, it's the 'consumer' angle. And then when we count up our savings, we look at industry from the angle of the investor .'who wants a good re turn on his money." "You're right, Mary," Gramps said, summing up the matter. "And though those three angles sometimes seem to conflict, they don't really, as long as management keeps a proper balance among wages, prices, and dividends. Right now, we're in the consumer's angle what's cooking for supper, Mary?" Arm in arm, the three disappeared into the little white house. Defense Bozrils hi Every County Her Guide Mrs. Williams had just returned from abroad. "Did you go to Rome?" asked a friend. "I really don't know, my dear," re plied the traveler. "You see, my husband always bought the tickets." AUTO AND PERSONAL LOANS See Us Personally Before Purchasing an Automobile. No Investigation Charge.
