Next Year Will Be Different
N EXT year will be different. Not only the weather, and markets,
and the needs of the country. Our jobs will be different, too.
Because next year we're going to do those jobs differently—and we
hope better!
We, whose job is producing goods and services, have been making
resolutions like this for years. And we've been keeping them! For in
our kind of business, you either keep on finding better ways of doing
things, or—you go backward! And if enough people do that, the
thing we call progress bogs down.
That's why fanners keep on trying new seed, and fertilizers, and
machines, and strains of stock. That’s the reason industry carries
on research—another name for a constant search for new knowledge
and better ways to do things. Because most of us have been doing
this for years, America has had the highest standard of living in the
world. And it’s the reason, too, that American production is doing
to much today to bring victory.
After the war, America is going to need more than ever rnen with
the courage and enterprise to invest time, money, and hard work in
the search for better things. And if America's producers understand
each other, and each other’s problems, we'll be able to do these all-
important jobs better. General Electric Co., Schenectady, N, Y.
