Thonneson, Prop. "The McHenry Druggist' Cows Show Penchant For Swallowing Metal For some unknown reason, cattle have a tendency to chew and swallow foreign objects. Among those which have been found in their stomachs after they died or beer slaughtered are pieces of wire, staples and scraps of various kinds of metal with sharp edges, as well as metal tags and buttons. Pointed pieces of metal can cause severe injury and sometimes death. A sharp object frequently works its way forward until it pierces the heart sac, and eventually, the heart itself. Signs of hardware disease, the common name for the condition, are not always apparent. Sometimes the .animal may show signs of distress, such as belching, or grunting on sudden motion. In the more advanced stage, there is often considerable liquid around the heart, and a gurgling or splashing sound can be heard. Death may result from direct injury to the heart by « foreign object or from complications resulting from infections. Star at Harvard Monday evening.

One each. idea Is the current "guessing" about profits made by large business organizations. t Many people are apt to grossly exaggerate the money made by business. So Opinion Reeearch Corporation (an independent organization) made a survey to learn just what the public thinhft about profits. Compare these guesses and yours with the Inteff* national Harvester profit figures given below. NMte fsess as war profits.. 30.01 ^ ' t N fear war ysar 4.0# In this survey, the average of the * guesses by the public of the wartime profits made by industry was .. . thirty per cent (30%). - But in the four war yearn of 1942, 1943, 1944, and 1945, the profits of International Harvester Company averaged only... 4.9% on sales. Less than one sixth of what the general public "guened" for all industry. For this period, the year by year per cent of profits on sales was: 1942-7.34, 1943-5.69, 1*44--3.95, 1945-3.91 rate of profit in normal times. Many large businesses, including ourselves, would consider it a banner year if we could reach this figure. Our average profit far the last ten years--four war and sip peace--was 6.43%--more than a third less than what the public considers fair. All these figures show that our profits are not high. As a matter of fact, the entire farm machinery industry is a low profit industry. In 1944, the Federal Trade Commission published a list of 76 industries ranked in order of their ratio of profits to sales. The farm machinery industry was 57th on the list. Wkat Meat Camel 4 « Meet*-- ®®®€> ®€) INfear jn the four peace Hot ear 1.114 of 193* the profits When the War ended and we planned our peace-time production, we had hoped to be able to serve our farmer customers at the same level which has held since 1942, regardless of war-time increases in costs of wages and ma- 1939, 1940, and 1941 of International Harvester Company averaged ... 7.17%. This is well under half of what the pmblie "guessed" for all industry. ®'AB® ®'"C) Msjirity tMafc fair sreftt Tias.ntnn.ac. up to that tLne. But re- Cent developments have famed a change in our plans. There has been no general increase in our prices since they wen frozen by the Government early la 1942. So our situation today is that what we BUY costs us 1946 pricee. We will be paying average hourijr wages 56% above 1941. For what we SELL we get only 1942 prices. This condition cannot long be met out of oyr jpresent low rate of profit. Mare Prices sa fttrsdsets It is plain that price relief will be needed to meet the increased wage and material costs which we must carry. We regret this necessity. W» prefer to lower prices, when possible, rather than raise them and we know our customers prefer to have us do that. We had hoped to be able to "hold the line," atkiast. But we do not see how we can avoid operating at a loss if our prices continue to remain at their present frozen levels. We will NOT "cut cortiers" on any of our products, because QUALITY IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR BUSINESS. Our customers can be certain that we will seek no more than a moderate profit, both because of our policies and because we have approximately 300 competitors fighting us vigorously for your business. Our request for price relief will be no more than is necessary to insure continued service to our customers, continued work for our employees, and a reasonable- return for our stockholders. 0 IH is 101 Is teethes 71 The Survey indicatee the public knows that in our economy-prof- INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER" t r\ w ...
