Information and Reservations Available at JOHNSTON STORES Phone 773-Sm Mjtil'ford, OVegsaa and a Bad Pmji'r The public interest requires that we review and clarify certain provisions of the con tract under which we operate at Howard Prairie lake. First of all, the details of our contract were planned and approved by the Jackson county parks and recreation commission, the parks direc tor, the Jackson county court, the executive vice president of the Cal-Ore Recreational Development association, and representatives of the bureau of reclamation, bureau of land management and the National Park service. These people represent the most qualified judgement that is available to deal with such a document. Experts in real estate and business leases were also invited in by the county court to act in an ad visory capacity as regards a fair percentage of sales for the lease rental portion of the agreement. Agreement Reached An agreement was reached, signed by all members of the county court and the princi pals of Johnston Stores. It was then referred to the vari ous Government bureaus for official signature to be affixed as per a prior agreement reached before the document was cleared for legal verbage by the county district attor ney. The entire agreement was negotiated in a complete spirit of cooperation and un derstanding of the responsi bilities involved. While one member of the county court was not in original agreement with the opinions and deci sions of the others, he too signed the agreement in its final form as returned by the district attorney. Since a few of the details of the contract have been re ported questioned by various individuals before and after the agreement was finalized, we wish to review these points. We have agreed to pay Jackson county a minimum of 4 per cent of our gross ceipts, which percentage ac celerates with volume to maximum of 10 per cent. We further agreed to pay a mm lmum amount of $1,800 year regardless of our sales vol ume. This lease-rental percentage amount compares with or ex ceeds metropolitan retail leas es. Since costs of operation In a remote area are higher than in an urban area, we know that the lease we agreed to is under the contract is to pro vide maintenance of the area. It was agreed by those in volved in the formulation of the contract that the major costs of maintenance of the area should be borne by the users of the area, lt was agreed by the majority, how- ever, that the central area would not require a users fee. Boat launching and the cen tral area picnic grounds are open for use without charge to the visiting public. The camp ground areas require a user fee of $1 per car per day for their use. This fee enters tuir gross retail sales and a per centage is returned to the county to apply to capital in vestment by the county, in road maintenance, tables and area facilities. The remainder of the fee provides the supplies and la bor to service and maintain the area in a sanitary and protected conditiion. These costs to us are high throughout all six months of the season and cannot be ab sorbed by the gross profit of merchandise sold by us in the area. If such were required i of us, the prices of goods and services would be too high and unfair to the public who patronize us! Volume of Goods High prices, to absorb area maintenance, would also cre ate a condition of diminish ing return to both the oper ator and the county because visitors would bring their own supplies from town. We have been able to develop an in creasing volume of goods and services throughout our term as as concessionaire. . This volume does not hap-i pen automatically. Such a volume is a result of serving the public needs. In this regard we have spared neither capital expense nor labor to serve all the wants and needs of the pub lic. We have long since learn ed, as experienced retailers, that when a retail business earnestly devotes their entire efforts to serving the public, the return for such efforts take care of itself. We do not make a profit in this business, we earn a return on capital Invested and a wage for our personal in dustry directed by experience and sound business principles. Feel Like Farmer Apart from the business aspects of our responsibilities at Howard Prairie, we also feel much like the farmer, who derives a great enjoy ment watching his hard tilled and tended crops mature and flourish as a result of his efforts. We sense that such pride Is as important to him as his financial returns. We think that our county officials nition and approval of their Iful efforts in contributing toward making Howard Prair- citizen of the county In en- ie one of the county's great couraging the expansion of assets. We would like to this nucleus into a great in- have the full support cf every dustry for Jackson county. 'Second Squeeze on Profits' Described New York -fliM- The words "profit squeeze" have been a part of a businessman's lan guage for many of the post war years, but today, report two business study specialists, the words represent a differ ent situation from what they did even in the middle 1950s. I Writing In tne current issue ' - I . 1 u. 1 I) n Ul II1C naivsiu uupuicaa 11,-- view, J. Roger Morrison and Richard F. Neuschel describe the struggle of business to make money now as "The Second Squeeze on Profits." The authors are principal and director, respectively, of Mc- Kinsey & Company, Inc. I "While the question of what is an appropriate level of profits is a highly technical one-with abundant room for difference cf opinion-there is a widening concern that pro fits might turn out to be a I limiting factor in our eco nomic growth rate," they re port; since the beginning of the "fabulous fifties," the gross national product has about doubled, but the profit segment of GNP has shrunk more than a third. Competition, they find, has resulted in something differ ent from the traditional wage price squeeze; and the second profit squeeze is uneven In its effect from Industry to Indus try. It is also sensitive to management action. Morrison and Neuschel find that tour Interrelated pres sures in the competition of business fits the description of the second squeeze on profits These are: -Fewer companies are able to Increase profits by sales of established products In estab lished markets. -More companies are op erating In Industries which have substantial unused ca-pacity-that could produce more than they are producing -even when business activity it high. -For many Industries, for eirn competition has increas eT -Prices remain relatively stable even when business If j turnlngrfjp shirply. In summarizing the effect of these pressures, the authors say that the decline of corpor ate profits since World War II is a result of a competitive situation that has grown more intense and bitter. The shortages which built up during that war were met: the artificial stimulus of the Cold War and the Korean War were met; then, during a time of inflation and rising wages the economy became more competitive. Companies could not pass along their rising costs in the form of higher prices, bringing about the profits squeeze. Inflation, they continue, has slowed, but the pressure on profits is greater, and the basic depressing force is in tense competition No longer is it the simple relationship of rising prices and more rapidly rising costs; the cost picture has changed to include those Hems of more competitive marketing, produce devel opment, and the higher cost per unit to produce when ca pacity Is not used to Its fullest extent.
