In 1953, when the first generators are to be installed, the Paulo Afonso plant will produce 120,000 kw. for the five neighboring states of Pernambuco, Alagoas, Paraiba, Sergipe and Baia, doubling their present supply. When all nine of the planned generators are in operation, the output will be approximately i½ times as much as Wilson Dam at Muscle Shoals...

Joyce's British partners, for example, after training at his Pasadena plant, managed to boost their own man-hour output by 50%. The result: Joyce footwear that sells in the U.S. for $2.95 to $10.95 sells for only a little more in Britain, which is about half the price of competing models of equal quality. By combining quality and economy, Joyce has built his foreign income until it accounts...
