rah, manager of sales promotion Of
the, Hart-FarrN company. he stated
that Business is what you make it,
can create business and then go out
and work in q systematic way, bust
ness will come to us in the long run,
h Is especially true of the tractor.
industry, which is allied to agriculture.
and which is the fundamental OF all
industries. Just so long as the world
needs food, crops will be raised and
machinery bought to lessen the labor
OF food production. The time when
machinery is needed most = is when
prices are low, n the cost Of produce
ton must be u in order for a pro-
Queer to make a profit. Such condi-
lions exists now and must be met this
spring.
