Waste. "When the Chrysler Corp. is given orders for the production of 2,600 tanks, those tanks go into production without benefit of Chrysler's criticism as to how, as automotive vehicles, they could be improved. The result is an engine of war that, at the very start of its production, is already militarily obsolete; the fault lies equally with the Army and with Chrysler...
...rupee ($9,000,000) corporation is being formed which will build a factory at Bangalore to produce 15,000 cars and trucks a year. Technical advice will come from the U.S.'s Chrysler Corp...
Medium-tank production got started late, is still far behind wartime requirements but growing fast. The medium-tank producer the public has heard most about is Chrysler Corp. To a $53,200,000 order for 1,000 heavily armed, 28-ton tanks which Chrysler got last August, the War Department last week added another $74,568,000 for some 1,600 more tanks of later design. First to begin actual production of mediums was American Locomotive Co. (Schenectady, N.Y.). Also building mediums is Baldwin Locomotive Works at Eddystone, Pa., which is now turning out three tanks a day, expects...
Dairy companies advertised bonds on 28,000,000 milk-bottle caps; Chrysler and G.M. instituted payroll deduction schemes; C.I.O. and A.F. of L. egged members into buying with literature and posters; the State tax department sent out a plug for the bonds with 108,000 sales-tax blanks.

Some furniture makers were still defiant of "jawbone" price control, as Chrysler had been (TIME, July 7). The price of cotton rose 3/4? to 15.21? a pound, a new eleven-year peak. Commodity price indexes paused on their upward flight, but briefly. Montgomery Ward's big fall & winter catalogue came out with 70% of the items showing higher prices than last spring, and a hedge clause on all prices...
