The man who buys a new automobile and the company · that wants to stay in business have a similar problem when it comes to depreciation AN OHlo DIVISlON Champion walked in.to a sales room in Hamil· ton the other day and plnnked down · 2,800 for a new piece of mac:hinery. Lt happened to be a Pont.iac. As he was driving h0me, he men­tally reviewed his finances, and he 1·ealized that the car was going to have to last hinl for a t least 10 years. Right then and there he decided to be smart about the whole thing. H e figured that he would set asid:e l 0% of the cost of the ear -every year. That way, at the end of lO years he'd have enough money in the bank to buy a new car. Of co1,n·se, he realized that Lhere was a go·od possibility of his "depreciation reserve" not being suf­ficient should the price of new cars rise with an inflated market. Adrnittedly, mos.t folks are too overjoyed at owning a new automo­f) iltt to take into consideration such . . things as the cost of <'lepn:Kiation. ·v\ ith a corn:pany like Champion, however, someone must face up to the cold facts, if the business is to run profitably year .after year. $9 Million ' in 1955 Comparing a $2,8.0(1' autt.>rnobjl lo a "'9 mil,Jion expenditure in 1955 [ (1r u:ew lOols doesn' t seem quite fair at first glan , but a second look wHl di s -lose that many 'imilar conS:id ra­tions cmdd be rnade with. b.mh types of investrnent . Fo example, after Champion has honght a .piec · of eqvip:rn nt, it ~~mg a c · ~ain amounl . f d pr cia· lion e:acl~ · ar against its int:ome to pro id £ r th clay wben that eqtdp· ment wiLl hav LO b r plac d. Furth rmore, a. in the cas · f th • au to mobile, money spent for repair and maint nan<ie add to the " cost of growing old." The Ponliac may -call for occasional tune-up , brake repair, and a major overhaul or two in that 1 Q-year period. Paper making rnachineTy, too, has tl:! be kept in good running order, and the amount of rnoney spent for 1·epair depends largely on the age of equipment and th,e care that it gets in the mill. Few Champions realize it, but they have a lot to do with that cost of growiH.g old. Often, repairs amount ~o as much as the original purchase price. Where Srnart Management Pays Over iR No, 2 Mill at the Ohio Division, a new save-all •vas installed • in l 939 at a cost of 'n8,544.52. Each year since, allowances have be en made Jo.r d eprecia tion, and other ex­penditures have been made for main­tenance and repair. But that wasn't n early enough. "When the time came to replace that save-all, earlier this year, the outla vvas $51,696.09 for the machine and its installation. Multiply this cost a hundred times a r1d you begin to get some idea of what it takes to keep a bu ine s in tip-top running ondition. T h.a t ' s 1.-vl'lerc smart management pays off. Did the owne'f of the new Pontiac bee rne dis otuagecl and return it t th dealer? Of cout e not.

Then;- when the medicine makes you wor e, " omplications have set in." I still argue that the fellow who coon hunted all night and then toted corn and fodder out of the Ground Hog Hollow all day on a diet . of soup beans and sow b e~ly shouldn't be both red by an allergy.

This made us break out in a ra h b1:tt an appli­cation of juice boiled from po~e root cured that.

I'll bet it's a delayed action from them nettle balls that's worryin' that doctor. Maybe fye got bull nettle allergy. . _ If it were measles, l could give the doctor a ugg non on a sure cure -one that all sheep rai er · of old swore by. \.'\Te had a sheep that we called the "Measle Ram.' ' Sometimes we fondly referreGl to him as "Old Measle ." He was known and patronized far and wide. Granny predicted the measles ' ould go on a rampag;e when the old ram died, but the people soon began to f:ollow other sheep. .
