should be able to compete as we have large
quantities of natural resources.
THE GOODS AND SERVICES TAX
The bookkeeping will be a nuisance, but the
government must get revenue from
somewhere to cut our federal deficit. Most
items had a 13.5 per cent hidden federal tax
and now farmers will be able to apply for the
Goods and Services Tax refund, which not
many did before.
LAWN AND GARDEN EQUIPMENT
Yardman, WFE
We sell a full range, from push mowers to 43
hp with loaders. There are more sales in the
20 to 30 hp class with tillers and yard
equipment. Fanners are using small -hp
tractors for some farm work as well as yard
work. We have a full-service shop including
tools to service yard equipment. We stock
most fast-moving parts for lawn equipment
and a full line of parts for WFE yard
equipment.

VERMEER HAYING EQUIPMENT
EQUIPMENT CARRIED
Vermeer haying equipment, Nokka logging
and loading equipment, baler twine, Well -
saw hay knives, hay tarps made to order,
cattle feed rocks, etc.
BUSINESS TRENDS
There is more use of computers in baling
equipment, and the new lines of balers are far
better than balers were even three years ago.
Vermeer always went and stood for quality.
INVENTORY AND SALES
We stock all parts on balers except for a few
high-priced items, but 1 can get these in
within four hours or in some cases by plane
into Wiarton inside one hour. We may be
short of new balers if sales continue at the
pace of the past few months, but don't know
if this is the same all over North America.
There are no problems with parts, but last
year I squeaked by on some of the parts on
the German -built PTO shafts.
THE GOODS AND SERVICES TAX
The GST will cause a lot of added expense in
time and bookkeeping. I'm afraid that once
this tax is in the govemment will be
increasing it the same as the other gov-
ernments that have implemented a similar
tax have done.

Here's an Ad for people
who just love ... to cut grass.
It's fun ... and you love it, but there never seems to be enough time
to get it all done ... just the way you want it.
Until now! With the help of 10 to 18 horses, neatly tucked into a
Yard -Man lawn or garden tractor, you'll make short work out of long
grass ... and still have time for R 'n R (radishes and rhubarb).
See the entire line-up of Yard -Man lawn and garden tractors
today ... there's one waiting to go to work for you at ...
