Land Owners! Lessees!
That's right! There are only nine business days left to raise the
$100,000 needed by June 1st to assure construction of the proposed
Klamath Starch Factory.
Have you bought your share of Northwest Chemurgy Co-op
stock? (Funds go immediately in escrow, and will be disbursed by
a local trustee during construction). If you haven't bought stock,
remember the plant may buy only 15 of the potatoes it pro
cesses from non-members, and in low-price years when supplies
for processing are great, the plant will pro-rate buying according
to stock owned.
Assure yourself of a permanent marker for your low grade pota
toes by buying your stock NOW!
Have you seen your banker?
Klamath Potato Growers Assn. - Tulelake Growers
Will There
Be Enough Bread
To go Around?
There has been a great deal of speculation,
conversation and rumor regarding the bread
question and we believe it is necessary that
our customers know the facts.
The United States Government Famine Re
lief Committee is offering a premium of 30
cents a bushel above ceiling prices for all
wheat in the hands of the farmer and an
nounces it will continue this offer until late
in May. This, of course, makes it impossible
for flour mills to purchase wheat for the
grinding of flour at the ceiling price and
therefore no flour is being sold by flour mills
to bakery operators.
In view of the uncertainty of our future flour
supply we felt it wise to immediately take
steps to be sure that our customers would be
taken care of as well as possible during the
emergency period which will probably con
tinue through the months of May, June and
July.
After reviewing our present stocks of flour
on hand and the amounts en route to us from
the flour mills we believe we can stretch our
supply over the emergency period and con
tinue to supply you with Fluhrer's bread pro
viding no bread is wasted and each consumer
will eat just a little less bread each day. To
make the bread go 'round as far as possible
we are restricting our production as far as
practical to small loaves. If you have been
buying a large loaf, we ask that you try to
make the small loaf do instead.
If we can all cooperate in this great humani
tarian effort, no one need go without bread.
Meantime we look forward to the day when
we can again bring you all the bread you
want in the style and size you prefer, made
from true white flour, sugar, milk and short
ening with all the traditional goodness you
have learned to expect in FLUHRER'S
BREAD during the past eleven years.

Bread is your best and most precious food
