...Purchase Card System. Harvard's committee was selected to head this operation. If we take a look at the results of the first few months of the PCS in Boston we can see that a successful, working system has been set up: there have been about 2500 Purchase Cards sold in Boston: the nucleus of stores participating has grown from 26 to 42 since March. In short, the main goal of the NSA Purchase Card Committee has been well fulfilled: we have bridged the gap between an idea on paper and an actual system in operation. The job, of course...
...here too the picture is not nearly as black as portrayed. In the first place we could sell cards only to members of the College, thus making the maximum possible sale 5000, not 12,000 as was claimed. However we set a realistic quota of 1000 cards to be sold, and we sold 550 cards.

When Ruddy recently floated a stock issue (at $1 a share) to finance his expansion, they eagerly chipped in their dollars. He sold 345,000 shares...
There was not yet enough for that. Last year, the nine Government-owned, industry-run synthetic plants turned out only enough cold rubber for U.S. tiremakers to make three cold-rubber tires out of every 100 they sold (customers who got them did not know it). RFC, which has charge of the plants, expects to spend $5,000,000 a year to convert the entire capacity of synthetic plants to cold rubber...
