Hi!

Let Purina help you get it!!!
Milk prices influence the size of your milk check. So does
the amount of milk you sell. The Purina Dairy Program
promises to help dairymen get lots of milk to sell.
It's just good common senseto feed your cows the Purina
dairy Chow that best fits your herd and your roughage.
More milk from the same cows can make your milk check
grow bigger and bigger. Keeps down the overhead ex
pense of adding more cows.
Feed Purina Dairy Chows ... complete or concentrates.

leading dairymen in this area. Ask us for details of the

corporate taxes and other
taxes are hidden in the cost
of services and merchandise.
One way or another, taxes
wind up in the prices con
sumers pay.
Therefore, the most urgent
reform should be to reduce
the extravagance and waste
of the government. For ex
ample, how do you feel about
paying for the squabbles and
lawsuits between one govern
ment agency and another, or
lengthy conferences on the
demands of radical groups, or
political witch-hunts? What
about the cost to business in
dealing with endless streams
of government officials.
What about the agencies
that overlap in most fields as
do the 39 or more separate
agencies involved in various
consumer programs? After
all, it’s the consumer who
pays for this in the long run.
We must reduce govern
ment debts, and in turn, the
tax load we carry. That can
only be done by demanding
that we get a dollar’s worth
of service for every dollar we
send to Washington. And
when we are tempted to say
“the government ought to
take care of that problem
(whatever it may be),’’ we
should see how many other
ways can be found to solve it.
