PILGRIMS' PROGRESS
. Cont.'from p. 2
Relations with the. Army, our largest
customer, were never better. The
merchants of anchorage arc working
with us better than over before.
Frices are good and we are able to
sell most everything that we can
produce.Nearly 50naw farmers have
cither been accepted for membership
or have applied. That problem of
’indirect overhead’ has been reduced
to less than half of what it was
five years ago. New plant instal
lations ;jid general improvements
have increased efficiency. Vv. think
that we have greater efficiency
among our employees. Net earnings
sliov; that.
■..oil now, whet do wo want you to .... I
say? '..'ell, apparently we now want to
junk the organization' that we have
worked for so long, and which has
given us so much that we never could
have gotten any other way. Now,we
want to turn our destiny over to
some fat hankers and politicians and
quit trying to improve ourselves by
our own efforts. Perhaps we can’t
stop the little group who want to
do this, but wo can go on and still
make our cooperative tho best medium!
to insure our continued success. If j
even fifty per cent of our members j
desire to do so,. . we think "
tint the answer is-uit can be done."!
