ous schools of the College and
their specialized activities.
The mural is all done in true
fresco, which means that it is
painted directly on wet plaster,
applied fresh every painting day.
With the exception of the plaster
itself, Mr. Poor brings all his own
materials. According to the artist
this has been the custom of mural
artists since the days of the Ren
aissance when traveling muralists
roamed Italy carrying their pig
ments and tools with them.
Stewart Frost Aids Artist
Previously, Mr. Poor’s daughter,
.Miss Anne Poor, has done all the
Mastering work for her father but
this year she is being aided by
Stewart Frost, a junior in Arts
and Letters at the College. Al
though plastering is a new experi
ence for Frost, who is a talented
artist, Mr. Poor says he is doing
very well.
Asked what he thought of Penn
State, the artist said, “I’ve never
-een so much activity in my life,
but I’ve grown very fond of the
place.” Mr. Poor has never worked
on a college building before. Most
of his murals are in government
buildings, and this summer he fin
ished a mural in the new Louis
ville Courier Building in Louis
ville.
The painting of the first wall
was made possible by a generous
gift of the Class of 1932. The pres
ent panel and the second panel,
finished last spring, are the gifts
of several classes.
Applied social science
!• Customers 2* Employes 3* Stockholders
It takes big companies to turn out
and service equipment like this. At
International Harvester we have the
idea that when a company grows be
yond a certain size, it becomes a social
as well as business institution. And
that as a social institution it has cer
;ain well-defined responsibilities.
So we like to think that this picture
is an illustration of applied social
science. The employes built the truck
but it would not have been built ii
the customers had not wanted to bm
it, nor would it have been built if th'
stockholders had not furnished Har
vester with the necessary capital.
At International Harvester we bt'
lieve that our business should be run
not for any one of these groups alone,
but for all of them together . . . cus
tomer, employe, and stockholder.
For our employes, this policy means
providing well-paid jobs to the largest
uumber of men and women who car

Barbers Refuse-

required for haircuts in order
to keep customers in the chairs
longer, one picket stating -hat
he had seen a barber spend 45
minutes cutting the hair of a
nearly-bald man. Severai bar
bers also were idle in this shop.
Only one barber chair was be
ing operated at Hartman’s shop,
further south on Allen street,
yesterday and pickets reported
that few students had been pa
tronizing the shop.
Position Unchanged
At Cassidy’s shop, where two
barbers were at work, one hair
cutter at first said there had
been no effect on business and
then reverted to the standard
“no comment” attitude, saying
that the barbers had not changed
their original position (against
"uting Negroes’ hair).
The NAACP previously an
nounced that it- plans to con
tinue the boycctt campaign un
til Friday. Pickets first b .gan to
appear in front of local barber
shops last Thursday and the
campaign officially got under
way Friday.
Thus far, picketing has been
termed “orderly” by Borough
Police Chief John R. Juba, who.
Meek reported recently, had
guaranteed police protection to
pickets so long as they remained
within the law.
To activate the boycott, a ral
lv was held on the steps of Old
be productively employed. Today we
have more than 90,000 employes. Be
fore the war we had 60,000. The aver
age straight-time hourly earnings of
our factory employes have increased
92.6% since 1941.
For our customers, it means pro
ducing the best possible goods and
services at the lowest possible cost.
Our margin of profit on sales today is
one-third less than in 1941.
For our stockholders, it means a
air return for the savings they have
invested in our Company. Dividends
on common stock in 1947 were equiva
lent to 5% on the book value, as
•ompared with 4% in 1941.

Hie Company as a whole had prof
its, after taxes, in 1947, of 5 H cents
from each dollar of sales. We believe
most people regard this as a reason
able rate of profit. '
We know it is our continuing abil
ity to earn a reasonable profit that
has made it possible for International
Harvester, again in this past year, to
serve more people —customers, em
ployes, and stockholders in greater
measure than ever before.
Profits mean progress for everyone.
We hope to be able to continue to
make a reasonable profit with each
succeeding year in the future.
