What About Job Let's face the facts about job security. Let's honestly admit that things have been so flush for the past 10 years that we have all forgotten that jobs could be scarce or insecure. Let's confess that all too many of us have leaned too heavily on the promises of politicians that some new man-made laws were going to protect us from the natural operation of the old law of "supply and demand." Let's realize that almost all of us have forgotten that the boss who sets the wages and makes the jobs is not the union leader, not the government man, not the company officer, but the customer who buys—or refuses to buy—what we make. And let's face up to the fact that the customer has suddenly slowed down his buying—stopped buying as much, or as freely, or at prices as high as a few months ago. Why? We think it's this. In the last 10 years there has been a great increase in the supply of money—with nothing near the same increase in consumer goods. That's because we shot away in the "hot" war, or gave away in the "cold" war, a large part of what all of us produced. And what we produced for the government was paid for mostly in new money in the form of I.O.U.'s. For six years we all got paid more and more out of the increased supply of dollars. We had the money, but we couldn't buy lots of things we wanted, because they weren't being made. Now, in the last four years since the war, we Americans have been trying to make up for what we couldn't get—or get enough of—in the previous six years. But, at the same time, we have been having to hand over about ¼ of the average income of each of us to military, foreign, or other federal, state, or local government purposes. We have too eagerly and too carelessly rushed to buy the remaining ¾ of our country's output. For four years we have been using both income and savings to bid against each other for what products there were on the market...products we could have bought out of income alone, if we hadn't been in such a hurry. WHAT MUST WE DO? Now the big rush is over. A lot of people have gotten what they wanted most...for which they, too often, were willing to pay too much. Some people have come to the end of their savings. Others still have old savings or are putting new savings in the bank, but are hold- RACES DAILY HOLIDAY RACING MONDAYS, MAY 30 and JULY 4 Turf Programs Entertainment Y 28... ers Handicap year-olds Y 30...

A lot of people have gotten what they wanted most...for which they, too often, were willing to pay too much. Some people have come to the end of their savings. Others still have old savings or are putting new savings in the bank, but are holding off buying until prices settle down and seem more attractive. Customers in general feel that shortages are over, prompt deliveries can be gotten again, and it isn't necessary to buy way ahead or pay the first asking price. In fact, most of them feel they can buy later at lower prices. The return of full supply and intense competition has put the buyer back in the driver's seat. General Electric has always tried to make jobs secure, to have them even more secure than other employers. The past record has been We can't promise that all this will result in steady em­ into the future and tell how much our customers can an­ that all of us—working together—can and should do a jobs, gaining back those lost, and going on to make doing more of what it takes to make the products that ANAHEIM WOI GENERAL Mrs. F.

L H. STAN Violin, Accordion, Hawaiian & Spanish Guitar Instruction Third Floor, Odd Fellows Hall 325 West Center St. Tuesday, 6 to 8 p.m. What Job Security? good, and right now General Electric is trying its best to maintain that record—to beat it, if possible. Clearly, the way to make and protect jobs is to get and hold customers. And to keep them buying in this slow market we must offer better values—more attractive prices on ever more attractive goods, presented by our advertising and our salesmen with ever more enthusiasm and conviction. As material costs came down and engineering improvements were made, General Electric, early in the year, reduced prices on refrigerators, ranges, freezers, and many other items... introduced new television sets and automatic clothes washers at prices nearly $100 less than previous models... with expected savings to General Electric customers of $50 million in 1949. Since these first reductions, General Electric has been able to reduce prices on still other items, some of them for the second time. These timely reductions... these product improvements... and the still bigger values we hope to offer in the future—together with a more powerful, hard-hitting selling effort—will help to make jobs. They will increase customer buying power, get more General Electric products sold, get production back up and layoffs down, make a sound start towards raising real wages and insuring greater job security. HOW CAN WE ALL HELP? The security of General Electric jobs, and how good they are otherwise, is wrapped up in this improvement process—improving the quality and reliability of our products, improving the price we offer, improving the sales effort we make, improving the reputation we enjoy. In the end, there is no security like working for an employer who is the low-cost producer with the best reputation for quality products and honest dealing. Every employee has a personal stake in making and holding General Electric customers and General Electric jobs. Everyone needs the help of everyone else. And we all can help by checking ourselves again and again each day and hour... in the plant, the laboratory, the office, in the customer's presence... making sure we are giving our full interest, skill, care and effort to think more attractive, more reliable, bigger-value General Every employee has a personal stake in making and holding General Electric customers and General Electric jobs. Everyone needs the help of everyone else. And we all can help by checking ourselves again and again each day and hour...in the plant, the laboratory, the office, in the customer's presence...making sure we are giving our full interest, skill, care and effort to these more attractive, more reliable, bigger-value General Electric-products which we must have in order to stimulate renewed and increased buying by our customers. But we don't just need a product and a price that outwardly look good to the customer. Knowing that steady jobs depend on a steady flow of orders, we all need, even more, to hold on to that world-wide reputation of ours which gives the customer the inner assurance that the product and price are as good as they look—that it's best to buy from General Electric. All result in steady employment, because we can't look at our customers can and will buy from us. But we do know we can and should do a lot toward protecting our present and going on to make new jobs and new futures...by make the products that make the sales that make the jobs. GE ELECTRIC
