Mr. Jones stated that ATF

the community because of the

declared that the competitors
had been helpful.
“We are an aggregation of
small companies. At one time,
back in 1933, we were forced
ito go through bankruptcy court.
The years 1932-34 were heart-

new organization we preferred
many small companies to one
large one. Thus each of our
companies becomes a part of
the community.
“By individualizing we are
avoiding the pitfalls of a large
corporation. We want the peo-

are a value to you, in more
ways than just financially.”
