What the Productivity Campaign 49 means to women

1 Jan 1949

PRODUCTIVITY CAMPAIGN 1949 Productivity pays and how.. 289 WHAT THE PRODUCTIVITY CAMPAIGN 1949 (P.C. '49 for short) means to women The cost of making Underwear has dropped by more than 2/- in every £ in a Scottish Knit- wear Factory since the firm started its Pro- ductivity Campaign in 1946. At the same time, workpeople are making 27/- for every £1 previously earned, although they now work only 45 hours instead of 48 hours a week. Think what it will mean to you in higher earnings and lower prices when the whole nation's productivity is increasing like that.
