Dear Editor:
We should like to bring your
attention to a business proposal
which we feel would be of in
terest to your readers.
If you were approached with
an offer to double your present
assets, reduce your overhead
costs by 40 per cent, enlarge
your consumer market area by
300 per cent, and continue op
erational control of your pres
ent business, would you con
sider a partnership?
Sounds too good to be true?
Let me lay this program out
for your consideration. I will
couple my assets (equivalent
to yours) to your own. I will
share the costs of your present
administrational needs that
would be of mutual interest to
us both.
We shall have mutual control
of company policy; however,
those departments which each
of us choose as specialties shall
be governed by ourselves as in
dividuals, without interference
with one another. If, as the
business progresses, we shall
see advantages in mutual in
ventory, mutual purchasing or
mutual advertising, we would
transfer individual departmen
tal control over to mutual com
pany policy and work together
in its administration.
I shall double your persent
work force with proportionate
results of their efforts. Our ad
vertising department will sell
our products toegther, rather
than, as at present, trying to
split the market. A larger work
force will result in less admin- j
istrative costs per worker. Ad
ditional benefits shall accrue to
those workers through group
programs. Their increased stan
dards shall create increased de
sire for more products and to
meet these needs our company
shall expand.
We shall realize an immedi
ate profit by combining our
bookkeeping; bulk buying shall
result in reduced shipping
costs, combined inventories
shall result in better storage
rates and lower insurance pre
miums.
We can invest this profit in i
capital improvements, better
administration procedures, and
product surveys by which to
expand our business and in
crease service to our consum
ers.
Essentially I want you to
consider a merger.
My assets are not obligated
by previous debts. My uncle
shall maintain my present fac
ilities on a parity basis over a

We're mighty proud of our reputation among farmers as the
place to come for friendly, practical help in matters of financing.
Whether a loan is needed to finance a crop or buy new equip
ment or put up a new building, we approach the matter from
the farmer's point of view ... to meet his needs in a manner that
will serve his interests best.

two-year program, after which,
by our mutual efforts, we shall
have arranged for the operation
| of our business. This merged
business shall then receive a
parity according to a basic need
formula from my uncle. It will
be necessary that we plan the
new business together for mu
tual benefit, but again let me
remind you that your special
department and mine are under
individual control, except for
those matters entailed in the
overall administration of the
business.
My present marketing area is
essentially untouched by your
product and is receptive to your
ideas. I have considered merg
ers with other businesses, but
have found various complexit
is, which though appear to be
to my ultimate advantage, at
present would tax my work
force, my assets, and cost me a
considerable degree of control
of my own affairs which may j
be impossible for me to regain. (
Your financial situation is
more nearly that of mine. Your
product is more closely associ
ated with mine, and my con
sumer market more clearly is
of the same degree of tastes as
yours.
Therefore, on these compari
sons you will find a great deal
of similiarity in our two busi
nesses and a great area of mu
tual understanding existing
and to be gained if we should
merge our efforts.
Presently. I understand that
your business may lose certain
franchises unless you consider
reorganization. Although I real
ize the possibility of such loss
being forestalled until you
have had sufficient time to ac
complish the reorganization, I
do hope you will strongly con
sider the possibilities which I
have outlined above, and real
ize, as I do, the mutual bene
fit by which we both may pros
per.
