2 Our Mosf Important Resource The most important resource this country has is its work force. It is the working American who is the backbone of our economic system, who produces the goods and services, pays the taxes, and, indirectly, creates business growth. Better jobs for more Americans will come, of course, from business profits and the expectation of profits which are essential for companies to expand. The term "profit," unfortunately, has taken on a negative, exploitative connotation in some segments of American society today. Vice President Gerald Ford told a group of business leaders recently that they have not succeeded in their efforts to educate the American public about the importance of profits. Young people are entering the job market each year. Increasing numbers of positions must be created. Without steady growth, the economy will soon stagnate. Under our system high profits attract competitors who, in turn, will provide more jobs and seek to produce better products at lower prices. It is a never-ending circle which, if broken at any point, will have disastrous consequences for those at all other points along the flow. v A MESSAGE FROM fT CLINT MILLS /fy{ One way you can help increase our Company's profits (and your share of tho T^rr^fit ^hhrintf Fnnrl^ ic r\ Tvo nn tVtn lookout for good ideas that may save the Company money.
