soy bean meal will be taken on
conveyors to the present mill for

purchases its soy bean meal ont

road and trucks. This entails a
heavy freight bill on ton of the
original cost of the product since
the feed mixing mill uses abont

terprlse system of doing things. AS an ex-
ample which everyone has encountered. take
the chain store systems, some of which Oner-
ate on national scale and have thousands of
outlets. We naturally think of them as bio
businesses. Yet practically all of them start
ed out as single stores. Many of the most
famous were actually One-man, shOestrin0
operations at first, and the going was nightT
tough. They gave the public something i
wanted and that's why they grew. The
cnalns biggest contribution to mechandis-
ing was the idea of distribution and
swift turnover with a very low margin of
profit on each item sold. Other kinds of
merchants picked the idea up and success
tiully adapted it to their own stores And
IN the long run, everyone concerned gained
by 1t. One of the bets things about the Amer
lean system is that any business is free to
expand and prosper as far as the abilities
and ambitions of those who operate it allow.
Inc small business of today may be the big
business OF tomorrow. And the biggest bus

Virginia Turns Down Bids

RICHMOND, Oct. 5.-The Vir-

rejected as too high bids for grad

Bids for the projects were rejected
in August for the same reason.
The Prince William County job
involves 3.39 miles on Secondary

In Loudoun County, the project
is for 1888 miles of road between

Highway officials said construc-
