promises to be the grimmest, hardest
T year year this 1943
country has ever faced. Every effort, and
HE
every dollar of natlOnal income not absolutely needed
for existence, should go into war work and VVar Bonds.
In the Pay Roll Savings Plan, America finds a potent
weapon for the winning of the war-and one of the
soundest guarantees of the preservation of the Amer-
ican way of life!
Today about 30,000,000 wage earners, in 175,000
plants, are buying War Bonds at the rate of nearly half
a billion dollars a month. Great as this sum is, it is not
enough! For the more dollars made available now, the
fewer the lives laid down on the bloody roads to Berlin
and Tokio!
You've undoubtedly got a Pay Roll Savings Plan in
your own plant. But how long is it since you last checked
up on its progress? If it now shows only about 10% of the
gross payroll going into War Bonds, it needs jacking up!
This is a continuing effort- and it needs continual at-
tention and continual stimulation to get fullest results.
You can well afford to give this matter your close
personal attention! The actual case histories of thou-
sands of plants prove that the successful working out of
a Pay Roll Savings Plan gives labor and management a
common interest that almost inevitablvresults in better
mutual understanding and better lab~r relations.
Minor misunderstandings and wage disputes become
fewer. Production usually increases, and company spirit
soars. And it goes without saying that workers with sub-
stantial savings are usually far more satisfied and more
dependable.
And one thing more, these War Bonds are not only
going to help win the war, they are also going to do much
to close the dangerous.inflationary gap, and help prevent
post-war depression. The time and effort you now put in
in selling War Bonds and teaching your workers to save,
rather than to spend, will be richly repaid many times
over-now and when the war is won.
