BUSINESSMEN HAVE FEARS
Small town businessmen who have been bat
tling shortages of labor and material and other
war-time shortages are looking to the future wi
th trepidation because of the socialistic trend
in government.
Four fundamental answers to the question of
“ What does small business really fear as it fa
ces the future?” were emphasized at one of the
hearings of the Ohio small business comission
and reported by O. E. M. Keller, president of
the Toledo Small Business association.
Mr. Keler said:
“ I think small business fears regulation ot
profits by the government to the extent that
there will be no reward for those who hustle
and work hard and no reward for creative abil
ity and business genius.
. .
“ They fear the socialistic and communistic
trend which may develop into a system whereby
government-owned plants and government-op
erated agencies will be used in competition to
their business.
“ I think they fear labor pressures. I mean
arbitrary rulings and regulations set up by labor
groups which destroys their feedom o f doing
business economically.
“ Govenment requirements of business are so
severe that they discourage many men from
starting out” .
When you invoke such regulations as feared
by small business you j*ist about eliminate all
incentive to business ownership. The middle cl
ass, including small businessmen, constitutes
the back-bone o f the United States and if we
ham-string the businessmen with unnecessary
regulations we neutralize the middle class wh
ich pays the bills that keep the regulators in o ff
ice.

D A IR Y PRODUCTS
The production of most manu

in 1943 than in 1942 due in part to
a continued strong demand for wh

drop in the 1943 milk production
compared with 1942. Milk product
ion is now declining seasonally and
war demands for exportable dairy
products are continuing to climb.

SEED GROWERS
Profits for every field and garden secd grower in this area have been
increased during the past five years, , due to our co-operative marketing,
Following are a number of ways in which our organized selling brings
more money for your crops at less cost to every seed grower:
1. Under the co-operative market
ing policy, the profit, which norm
ally goes to the private seed house
is returned to the grower in pat
ronage dividends.
2. Our co-operatively owned clean
ing plant which is one of the best
equipped in the west offers the g l
ower the advantage o f seed pro
cessing at minimum cost. A detail
ed test is made on each individual
lot, and a complete report furnish
ed the grower. This will be o f ass
istance in obtaining incentive pay-
ments with the A A A for eligible
growers.
3. Cash advances, based on cur
rent market price, can be obtained
after your seed is cleaned at the
plant, and under marketing agree
ment. This eliminates the need for
outside financing or borrowing
while your crop is being marketed,
and makes it unnecessary to sell to
price-cutting buyers for quick
cash.
4. W e market peas and bean3 for
the grower.
We also buy field seeds for cash on reclcaned basis. See us for your fall
seeding needs.
