New speed... New muscle
New John Deere
50 Side-Mounted Mower
The 1,800 strokes-per-minute cutting speed of the John Deere 50 Side-
Mounted Mower really drops hay in a hurry. The 50 is strong, too. Parts
are considerably heavier than those in other side-mounted
mowers. The pitmanless balanced drive keeps the mower
running smoothly . . . quietly. You’ll find the 50 an easy
mower to maintain, too. See us for details on this addition
to The Long Green Line. Ask aßout our Credit Plan.

Corporations owned by individ

About one-third of the corpora

than $40,000 and one-tenth had
sales of $500,000 or more. The

the corporate units m this latter
category were family controlled
The earlier study found about 40
percent of the corporations had
gross sales of undei $40,000 and
6 percent with at least $500,000.

years because a changing tech
