wartime prices and trade board wont permit anyone but zeke him self to make application when he needs new farm machinery since he is the only one who has a leasehold or freehold interest in the property where the machinery is to be used theres something else to if zeke for instance sold his plow bo cause it needed repairs his chances of getting a new one might be very slim not until he had filed with a prices boaid representative a des cription of the old plow and his rea sons for wanting a new one could he hope to have his application for new machinery considered this re gulation applies to the sale of ary rationed farm equipment which 1j4 owner expects to replace with new and another thing zekos dealer cant put to his own use any of the equipment he has stocked for sale to his customers unless he first ob tains permission from the wartime prices and trade board zekes intorests are firmly protect ed by theso measures designed to assure the fairest possible distribu tion

lon ger free and then there is the stamp tax that is particularly annoying when you wish to withdraw some of your own money from your account people hate to put up even three cents for this privilege
