Millican Aug. 31, 1965 -3- ' Nickerson: I don't want the Board of Appeals to be depicted to your three to four thousand visitors as trying to put you out of business. You say you have 2 shovels, 4 rakers. Millican: I will take them out. I have said I will not buy any more shovels or rakes. One thing I would like to be allowed is spreaders for the fertilizer to put stuff on with. Everybody doesn't have a spreader. Nickerson: I don't have aV trouble getting one.

Millican: The man buys these things. We don't do the job - we sell him the things. He buys the stone and then he gets a man. I have never planted anything for arWbody. We don't go out and do it. We hewer have gone. We have a man we send out. Nickerson: You tell me you have a man who goes out and plants. Millican: We have a man who will go out and do the job. It is not my man. He doesn't work for don't pay the man. There me. The man doesn't pay me for is one fellow up the street who the job. I does it for ' me. He is not paid to do it by me. Nickerson: If you sell a customer a lot of material that is to be made
