WERE WE SMART OR JUST PLAIN DUMB
WHEN WE PASSED UP A LOT OF MONEY??
IF YOU HAD YOUR CHOICE . . . Would you grab______
yours NOW—or continue the same policy that has served
you so faithfully for many years?
After the war Implement Dealers everywhere faced this decision. The
temptation of “easy money” is hard to resist... and a fortune was in store
if you were inclined to be what some people call “smart. If you were so
minded . . . all sorts of schemes could be devised to circumvent OPA rules
and regulations. They’re the ones who now operate in “Gray Market.
A. You could make under the table rules.
B. You could demand bonuses .. . by insisting on trades at
prices far below market value.
C. You could load up and demand the purchase of all kinds
of unwanted accessories and services. :!|y
D. Y ou could buy worn-out machinery, and sell it at exhorbi-
tant prices. .
E You could forget vour obligations and confine your de-
liveries to highest bidder, and always salve your con-
science with the thought that the customer took your
hide off” when he knew you were in a tough competitive
position.
All who have dealt with Farmers Equipment Company know our decision,
and know, too, that our policy has been the direct opposite of all the things
mentioned above. The decision has cost us several hundred dollars in imme-
diate profits—to us this would be a small fortune—but we have be®® P*®
to forego it in the confidence that in years to come our policy will be re-
membered and appreciated.
In Making This Decision Were We Smart Or Dumb?
What Do You Think?
