Farm Wiring To
Be'Sbfe Must Be
Done By Expert
“Reports indicate that farmstead
wiring may reach an all-time peak in
1947,” Pul Crawford, rural electri
fication engineer for the Extension
Service, said this week in reminding
farmers that good wiring makes elec
tricity a safe, efficient farm hand!
but poor wiring creates unnecessary
hazards.
‘‘Carelessness, amateur wiring, in
ferior or improperly installed equip
ment or disregard for common-sense
rules of electrical safety create un
necessary hazards to farm life and
property. All wiring should be done
by a qualified electrician or wiring
contractor,” he urged, “as electricity
caused part of the 1946 farm fire
loss of $85,000,000.
Mr. Crawford urged farmers to
follow specific precautions in the use
of electricity. Included were the care
ful installation and inspection of ad
ditions to the wiring system; use of
Underwriter Laboratory-tested and
approved electrical equipment, prop
erly installed; keeping all spices and
connections tight and caring for
overloaded circuits immediately, and
not tampering with burned-out fuse
to make it work again.
Accidents may be avoided, the
electrification engineer asserted, by
preventing accumulation of dust,
cobwebs, chaff and other inflamma
ble materials that might cause fires;
careful use of extension cords only
as temporary wiring with one or two
connections from an outlet; not
touching an electric swith or appli
ance of any kind while in the bath
tub, and never risking contact with
A Statement To Our Customers About Resale
PRICES of PRODUCTS
Built by International Harvester Company
Here at Harvester we are con
cerned over the fact that a
growing number of our prod
ucts are appearing on the re
sale market at greatly inflated
prices.
As manufacturers, we try to
produce at the lowest possible
cost. We cannot set the prices
at which our products—trac
tors, motor trucks, farm im
plements, refrigeration, and in
dustrial power equipment —are
sold. We can and do suggest
list prices which the great ma
jority of our dealers adopt as
their retail prices.
520,000,000 Price Reduction
Our basic price policy was
publicly stated in March, 1947,
when we announced price re
ductions at the rate of approxi
mately $20,000,000 per year
on our products. At that time,
Fowler McCormick, Chairman
of the Board, said: “any price
IS TOO HIGH IF IT CAN BE RE
DUCED.”
Practically all of our dealers
cooperated with this policy and
passed on the savings to their
customers.
The objective of the pricp
reductions was to make it pos
sible for customers to buy our
products, which they need so
badly, at lower prices. Natu
rally, this purpose is defeated
when our products are sold by
anybody at inflated prices.

All-Time Peak
Inflated prices are caused by

high-voltage lines or transformers
under any circumstance.
“Electricity is now in use on more
than 3,000,000 farms in the United
States and 41.7 percent of Georgia’s
farms are electrified. It must be
treated with respect, not only to
avoid creating electrical hazards, but
because it can reduce existing non
electrical hazards,” he declared.

the difference between supply
and demand. To increase sup
ply, we now have the greatest
number of employes in history
on our payrolls—almost 90,000
in the United States, as against
about 60,000 prewar. Large
new plants aregetting into pro
duction in Louisville, Evans
ville, and Melrose Park. A
fourth will soon be in opera
tion In Memphis. The men and
women now employed are
turning out the greatest quan
tities of IH products of all
kinds that we have ever made.
These are also the finest prod
ucts we have ever made, and
recognition of that fact is an
important contributing factor
to the demand for them.
Distribution to Dealers
But even record-breaking pro
duction is not sufficient to give
your dealer—and other IH
dealers—enough products to
meet today’s demand. We have
tried to make the fairest possi
ble geographical allocation of
our products so that every
dealer would get a fair share,
and we know that dealers, in
most cases, have tried earhestly
to make the fairest possible
distribution to their customers.
But we also know that many
of our products —far too many
—are being resold at inflated
prices. The public criticism and
resentment of these resales are
of real concern to us, as we
know they must be to our deal
ers, because such reactions en

danger the good will of both
the dealer and the Company in
any community.
Distribution to Customers
Experience shows that many
IH new products are being re
sold by users who decide they
can continue to make out with
their old equipment after they
have had an inflated offer for
their new equipment. To elimi
nate this, many dealers are
taking measures to be sure that
equipment purchased is for
their customers’ own use and
is not to be resold.
Nearly all IH dealers, we be
lieve, are now using the basis
of present need as their pri
mary guide for the sale of
scarce products. The customer
whose need is real and urgent
is not likely to resell.
What Price Should
You PayT
While It may take a little more
time to get delivery, we urge
our customers to consider all
of the factors mentioned here,
before paying more than the
list price for any IH product.
Any 111 dealer or branch can
furnish the suggested list price!
for any IH product.
We know that the over
warning majority of IH deal
ers are as much opposed to in
flated prices as we are. In the
public interest, we have al
ready asked their cooperation
—and are now asking the co
operation of customers —in
correcting this situation.
