You are a specialist in

You know your special
work, what conditions you
must necessarily contend
with, what your cost Of pro-
duction must necessarily be,
and what Is a reasonable
Price for your crops-better
than any other person in ang
other line Of work.
Yet you have complaing
critics-plenty Of them.
People, who have never
farmed and who think that
farmer merely "cashes in"
on crops and livestock that
rature develops for him, say
that you are making too
much profit in proportion to
your investment and service.
We are specialists in mer-
chandising, and we, too, have
complaining critics.
There are persons who
think that the difference be-
tween our buying price and
our selling price Is mainly
profit, just as your critics
think that you merely pluck
the profits produced by boun-
teous nature.
They know nothing Of our
cost Of doing business, just
as YOUR critics know nothing
