...profit rose to $884,000 in the third quarter, promising a gross business of $78,000,000 in 1947 (against $57,000,000 last year). That started Cohu thinking about new planes. Last week, about ten months after Frye left, TWA ordered twelve new Connies. The line's once bad credit had improved enough so that some 14 banks put up the $15,000,000 to pay for them.

Bigger & Bigger. The gross national product in the third quarter of this year rose to a record annual rate of $232 billion up $10 billion since the first quarter. Much of the rise was due to higher prices. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that retail food prices jumped 3.6% during the month ending Sept. 15, reaching a new record high (203.5% of the 1935-39 average) for the fourth consecutive month...
