TNTERNATIONAL Harvester is get-
J. ting back into production with
all possible speed. Extra shifts
are being employed wherever con-
ditions permit, to try to overcome
the production losses of the re-
cent strike. Everything is being
done to get parts and machines to
you.
While we and our dealers would
like to tell you that this means an
immediate end to the shortage of
service parts and machines, it is
more accurate to say that it
means the beginning of the end of
it. If illness or bad weather de-
lays you seriously in the Spring,
you know how much it throws
you off your schedule. The strike
has thrown our schedules off bal-
ance, too. There are many
"chores” we must do before new
machines reach you.
Material shortages
duction efforts will mean that
your local dealer can expect only
a small number of parts and ma-
chines at a time. Since we must
play fair with all our customers,
there will be a sprinkle of parts
and machines all over the coun-
try—not a downpour in any one
section.
You will be glad to know that
all repair parts production sched-
ules are far beyond normal.
No hoarding

Beer After 5 P. M.—Curb Service
The preliminary
chores of getting
our plants back in-
to shape for full
production are fin-
ished. But dis-
turbances in other industries and
resulting material shortages may
affect our plans. Light gauge
steel sheets, brass and copper,
fractional, horse power motors,
and many other items are all
very short. The coal situation may
also prove serious—we hope not.
Refilling the well
Both our dealers
and our branches
have run dry on
parts and new ma-
chines. So the big-
gest chore is to
get their working stocks back to
normal. It will take time to fill
the pipeline to dealers—just as it
takes time for you to refill a well
or cistern after it has run dry.
Stock and display rooms of our
dealers represent not one, but ten
thousand reservoirs which must
be refilled. The most heroic pro-
You may be sure
that every ma-
chine will be ship-
ped to dealers as
soon as completed.
We do not and will
not hold machines off the market.
At the start of the strike we
had on hand at all our factories
and branches just 837 tractors of
all kinds—less than two days*
production—and 405of these were
not completed. Many of those
on hand had one or more impor-
tant parts missing—principally
radiator cores. Most of the rest
represented the normal daily
"float” between the end of the
assembly line and the shipping
platform. Naturally no tractors
were made during the strike.
What dealers may
have for you
We can report
to you that
our current
production
on TRAC-
TORS is good and we are ship-
ping at a normal rate. Even so,
there will not be enough to go
around. The situation on PLOWS
and DISK HARROWS is reason-
ably good. On COMBINES,
MOWERS, HAYRAKES, ONE-
MAN HAY BALERS, CORN
PICKERS and many other items,
our schedules have been seriously
disrupted. We must in fairness
say that many of our customers
are likely to be disappointed on
delivery of these machines. On
MILKING MACHINES, STA-
TIONARY ENGINES, and some
other small units we are hopeful
of making practically normal de-
livery.
We know you will understand
the reasons why your dealer can-
not fill your orders overnight. He
would like to give you the kind of
delivery on machines you would
like to get, but his situation is a
difficult one and not of his own
making. He is doing the best he
can.
No cutting corners
on quality
There is one
thing you can be
absolutely cer-
tain about: We
will NOT cut
corners on qual-
ity in order to in-
crease production in this emer-
gency. For years we have said:
"QUALITY IS THE FOUNDA-
TION OF OUR BUSINESS.”
Today we say it—and mean it—
as much as ever.
We know you need new ma-
chines—and need them badly.
But we believe it will pay you to
wait just a little while longer if
you cannot get all you want im-
mediately. By waiting you can
be sure your new equipment will
have the quality so rightly asso-
ciated with INTERNATIONAL
HARVESTER for so many years.

Phone 44 Shiner, Texas
We’re doing all we can
to serve people waiting
for telephones
The urgent job of getting telephone service to
those waiting is going ahead. We are nearing a
milestone: Soon everyone who needs only a tele-
phone instrument itself to get service will have
it. That shortage is about over.
In the first three months of this year we have
installed 150,000 new telephones in the five states
we serve. This is as many as we would have in-
stalled in six months of a normal year.
Although 170,000 new applicants for service
during this time kept the waiting list long (223,-
000 in the Southwest as April began), we now
are getting sendee faster to those waiting longest.
A great many of the people waiting for service
on V-J Day now have it.
Two big jobs remain:
1 As quickly as we can get it, we are wiring
the precision, intricate machinery that han-
dles your calls at the exchange. This takes
time and skill. We must do years of work
in the next few months.
*y In a great many places we also need outside
‘“t> cable and wire. We plan to have this in and
ready when the new equipment in the tele-
phone office is completed. Where we can,
we are wiring homes in advance for tele-
phones, ready to connect them the moment
we are able.
Meanwhile, we are trying every way we know to
s-t-r-e-t-c-h the service ... and we are temporarily
squeezing in everyone we can with party lines,
hooking more telephones to already loaded
switchboards and dial equipment, putting dis-
connected lines back into service faster. If for a
while telephone service is not always as fast as
you’d like it, it is because of this crowding.
We repeat: The telephone company is doing
all it can to provide service for waiting custom-
ers. We’re looking forward to the day we get in
touch with you to arrange the details of installing
your telephone.
