Manville Jenckes Corp Cuts Debt Through Modernization
In 1930 Manville Jenckes Corp faced 7 million dollars in debts but has reduced it to 2 million over five years. George Ro Urquhart, co-receiver, explains in the Christian Science Monitor how cost cutting machines, new methods, and higher wages with lower per-yard costs sustain production. The firm aims to keep workers employed while meeting competition from the South, arguing price stabilization harms efficiency.
