“Look Mom, a Pony I"
Spots is a king-sized companion for this little man, but big as
he is, he needs respect and affection from his pint-sized master.
According to Clarence C. Fawcett .of the Purina Pet Care Center,
“Most dogs can be taught to be gentle with children, but the chil-
dren aren’t always as easy to train! Teach your youngster kind-
ness and love for his pet . . . discourage mischievous tricks and
rough play.”
Behind the Scenes
Of American Business
(Note: The information con-
tained in this weekly surnjiijary
of happenings in the world of
business and industry has Ibeen
obtained from sources we con-
sider reliable but is not guaran-
teed!. Opinions and forecasts are
based upon careful analysis but
»are subject to change without
notice.)
By Reynolds Knight
New York. — The season of fol-
iage, football and frost on the
pumpkin also is the second - most-
popular season for businessmen’s
forecasts. It’s the tim|e when they
predict how the current year will
finish up — and some of the
brave ones venture a guess about
the coming year. (The big-
gest forecast splurge comes, of
course, at the year-en,d.)
The current consensus about
1963 is that we’ve had an unspec-
tacular, steady economic course
that has, over - all, traveled
a slightly higher and happier road
than was forecast last January.
At that time the post - recession
upturn was viewed as middle-aged
and some prognosticators said
there would be a setback, prob-
ably in the first half. But of course
no real setback developed. Auto
sales stayed high, heavy industry
— notably steel and construction—
gained speed through spring and
summer, and consumers kept
spending briskly in most areas.
Big question mark for the re-
maining 2 % months is: will Con-
gress pass an income tax cut Ev-
en is such an action doesn’t take
actual effect until 1964, the psy-
chological impact on consumers
and business could produce a
spending spurt that would end the
year with a solid upturn. Without
such action, however, believers in
the business cycle as a “natural
law” may start suggesting that the
long - overdue downturn might
develop in 1964.
ALL’S FAIR AT FAIR
More than $200 million is being
spent by American industrial ex-
hibitors alone at the New York
World’s Fair, according to a re-
cent announcement by the Fair
corporation. All this adds up to
many hours of free fun and ex-
citement for visitors to the Fair
during its two six - months sea-
sons next year and in 1965.
For example,, one industrial ex-
hibitor, Johnson’s Wax, will give
visitors an opportunity to rest and
cool off in the most unusual mov-
ie theater in the world while they
watch an equally unusual color
film. The air - conditioned theater,
principal attraction at the John-
son’s Wax Golden Rondelle, is in
the shape of a golden flying sau-
cer 90 feet in diameter, and will
seat 500. It will be suspended high
above a wide, reflecting pool from
soaring 90-foot columns.
Other free attractions the wax
firm will offer include an amuse-
ment center for children and au-
tomatic shoe shines for all com-
ers. (The firm is a leading manu-
facturer of shoe polishes and re-
cently introduced a new, popular-
priced line.)
NEW ERA
(Red brick and gray stone will
always be with us, but just ahead
lies “The Vinyl Era” — gleaming
white sidings, leaders, downspout
shutters, windows and doors and
colored building panels and inter-
ior trim —- that will appear in
many residential and commercial
structures.
To help the industry prepare for
the next decade, B. F. Goodrich
at
Chemical Company has instituted
sure proper utilization of the ma-
terials. The program was an-
The program, will help custom-
ers to design and produce build-
ing products that take advantage
pf the material’s properties, such
as exceptional residence to dam-
age from weather, wear and cor-
rosion. The company will take part
in the National Plastics Exposi-
tion and National Association of
Homebuilders show, advertise in
trade and national magazines and
offer sales aids to customers.
THINGS TO DOME
Football teams can insure that
their substitutes and “bench
warmers” are protected from ug-
ly weather by using a plastic,
roofed - over “cage” that’s 16 feet
long and has space for about 10
players; additional cages can be
attached to protect the entire re-
serve squad ... A food company
is testing a line of Italian dishes
in Which rice and macaroni are
fixed together wlith various meat
flavorings and pieces . . . New
twist on auto seat belts: a com-
bination seat - belt and shoulder-
harness unit for extra protection
from whiplash. The entire equip-
ment is retractable when not in
use.
COUNTRY CLUB WOES
The nation’s private country
clubs don’t have mjuch to be hap-
py about these days, financially
speaking. This year’s new restric-
tions on expense - account spend-
ing are only the latest problem —
and actually not too serious. But
a vinyl education program' to as-
final statistics for 1962 issued by
a research firm document the con-
tinuing basic problem1: rising oper-
ating costs, accompanied by in-
creasing fixed charges, for such
items as mortgage payments and
local taxes. Dues income at smal-
ler clubs dropped noticably last
year, figures show, although at
larger clubs income from this
source was off only slightly.
BITS O’ BUSINESS
In an effort to woo over-65 cus-
tomers, several major mlovie thea-
ter chains are offering ticket dis-
counts as high as 60 per cent to
oldsters . . . New construction con-
tinues strong, with dollar value of
new contracts awarded in August
topping $4 billion for a gain of 12
per cent over the like 1962 month.
Industrial building for the year to
date is almost 7 per cent ahead of
last year.
nounced earlier this mpnth at a
symposium, “The Material Differ-
ence in Building,” held at the Na-
tional Housing Center in Washing-
ton D. C.
T. B. Nantz, marketing vice
president of the company, said
that an annual consumption of 1-
billion pounds of vinyl for build-
ing materials alone is possible
within the next ten years, as
compared to 1.3 billion pounds for
all types of products in 1963.

Henry Ford once was involved
in a classic case of “how do you
get the boat out of the basement.’*
when he built his first car in 1896,
he found that he’d built the car
wider than the door to his work-
shop. To get it out, he had to
knock a hole in the workshop wall.
