Shield your home
with insurance
r Sure, you probably have fire
insurance on your home.
(Probably not enough.)
But, to be completely pro
tected in the modern sense,
your home needs a lot of other
insurance protection today.
There is now an America
Fore COMBINED RESI
DENCE POUCY which will
protect a home owner against
most of the losses that can
happen to him as a home
owner.
Ask about this policy which
covers damage by water,
steam, oil or other fluids —
cost of repairs and replace
ments to plumbing and heat
ing systems—automobile and
aircraft property damage —
explosion — replacement of
fixed glass—windstorm—loss
of rental value—public liabil
ity and property damage —
hold-dp and burglary — and
theft on or away from premis
es (“mysterious disappear-
ance” is now deemed to be
theft.)

Private ownership has lost the sup-

to grow rich by exploiting the work
ers.
Down with* all Stockholders! Talk
about advertising—that is a foolish
waste of money. If the company
was really interested in the worker,
it would give him the money it
spends for advertising; In short, too
many wageworkers honestly believe
that stockholders rob them of a
rightful living; they think that the
government should take over and do
away with profits.
Managements Attitude
Can responsible free business sur
vive with an antagonistic working :
force? The answer to this question
is an emphatic “No”. Management
has too often looked upon the work
er as a “hired man”. With this at
titude, management must defend its
prerogatives, or “good-bye” to Am
erican supremacy.
I wonder how many businessmen
have recognized the significance of
what General Eisenhower said about i
the “inseparability of all the free
doms.”
If you really believe that some
of our freedoms cannot be kept
while others are flung to the winds,
then you believe that all our per
sonal, political, and social freedoms;
can survive ony with the survival >
of our economic freedom—which in- -
eludes freedom to yvork, to own, to;
save, to sell to buy, to compete, and,
to bargain honestly without the use |
of force by either side.
Sell America
If you are really enthusiastic about
the American way, a system that
enables six per cent of the world’s
population to out-produce the other
94 per cent, why have you kept it a
secret? Why haven’t our employees
learned that the American system
provides more goods and services
for the wageworkers themselves
than any other system in the world
—in spite of its imperfections.
The time is now to sell America.
Dig up the facts. Toss out some
comparative statistics. Bring in D.
P.s who have lived under Commun
ism and Socialism to tell how they
fared as workers. Use your PA
system, house organ, posters, super
visors to give the worker information
he wants and needs. Let him know
what it costs to own and maintain
a factory, repair and replace equip
ment, provide power, labor and ma
terials, the cost of waste. . . and
don’t forget taxes!
What About Profits?
There has been a lot of loose talk
about profits. We should show the
wageworkers how company reserves
mean protection for their jobs, how
they should encourage venture cap
ital. A few Statistics, on advertising
should be helpful reminding work
ers that the fellow on the next ma
chine got his job as a result of the
company spending more on advertis
ing.
It won’t be hard to prove that the
fellow who thinks it is OK to soak
the employer with taxes is just soak
ing himself in the long run'. Every
employee should know how much
capital it takes to provide him with
his job. I have faith in the intelli
gence of our employees; but man
agement mus4 build a friendly
bridge between the front office and
the back shop. The free enterprise
system succeeds when the white and
blue collars work together.
