TUESDAY OCTOBER 28 1947 Elise's birthday. She was happy with letters from Bill, Mother, Kate, Amy, & Tildchen. Lee brought a birthday cake to the church where Elise was serving. Lee and the kiddies here for supper. The Quarterly meeting of Deere & Co board of Directors. It appears the volume of sales this year will be between 206 and 207 millions of dollars and profits about 14 million. At present tractor production at Waterloo is 250 tractors a day at Dubuque 45 tractors a day. In january Waterloo production is to be 275 and in spring 300 while it is hoped to get 80 a day at Dubuque. Waterloo has 6200 employees and another thousand will be needed by spring. Business looks very promising but a note of caution about capital expenditures was sounded. Since 1941$60,000,000 has been spent on plant expansion; as much as has been spent up to that time. Got new suit and overcoat with zipper lining today from FitzGibbon
