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.
$20,000,000 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 price
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.
IH Production at
All-Time Peak
Inflated prices are caused by

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 are getting 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 fi^nployed are
turning out the greatest quan
tities of IH products of all
kinds that we have ever made.
These are also the $nes( prod
ucts we have ever made, and
recognition of that'{act is an
important contributing factor
to the demand for th Qin.
Distribution to Demers
But even record-breaking pro
duction is not sufficient tq give
your dealer—and other! IH
dealers—enough product^, to
meet today’s demand. We haVe
tried to make the fairest postff
ble geographical allocation ol'
our products so that every I
dealer would get a fair share,
and we know that dealers, in
most cases, have tried earnestly
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 lx? to our deal
ers, because such reactions en­

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 Pay?
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 IH dealer or branch can
furnish the suggested list price
for any IH product.
I^e know that the over
whelming 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.
