Y- don’t want your dollars to buy less and

less and less!. vig

Youdon they: your savings to melt away! Or-the value of your life insurance to

dwindle !

Yet that is what inflation can do to all of us. Therefore, thoughtful people everywhere are concerned with ways to smother it before it gets out of hand.

One major cause of inflation is a shortage of goods when people have money to spend for things they want.

That cause can be eliminated by the production of goods—fast—in quantity. .

BUT THERE'S A BOTTLENECK

During the war there wasn't enough labor and materials to meet the needs of war and till produce all the civilian goods people wanted and could buy. Therefore price controls on civilian goods were substituted for competition to keep prices down. Today this country has all’ the labor and materials necessary to turn out the things people want, Yet goods are still scarce. Store salves are still bare. The national pocketbook continues to bulge. Inflation grows.

of Manufacturers, 14 West 9th Street, New York 20, N. Y., will bring

[ LET'S SMOTHER INFLATION... 4 postcard addressed to the National Association ] your copy of a booklet explaining in detail why price controls cause inflation.

Why? Because price controls in peacetime hinder the production of goods. Business cannot live by producing at a loss. And so, goods that can’t be made to sell at the prices fixed by the government just don’t get made.

Nor will the raising of price ceilings solve

the problem. When costs and selling prices

are subject to change at any moment by government action, production has to be on a day-to-day basis.

That means wncértainty... reduced output ... More inflation. |

ISN'T THIS THE ANSWER?

Remove ‘price controls on manufactured

| goods and production will step up fast.

Goods will then pour into the market and, within a reasonable time, prices will adjust themselves naturally —as they always have — in line with the real worth of things. '

Competition has never failed to produce this result.

This is the way you can get the goods you want at prices you can afford to pay.

“Please think this over. Then tell your representatives in Congress what you believe should be done. You owe it to yourself...and to your country’s welfare.
