A lot of people will think it queer doubt that a man

deem it advisable to describe their methods to the public
why shouldn't i?

my business is just legitimate any ones else

that to attain success thru honorable MEANS in the boot
Logging business is just commendabe the attainment

anything else.
AS for revealing trade secretswe there isn't much that
could tell the police the federal county people, any

pull UP.
And my story may do lot Of good-both to the public
