Indiana Taxpayer lfantg Subridy for Rocking Chairs

Hon. Earl Wilson, U. S. Congressman from Indiana, recently got a letter from a constituent, whi,ch hc placed in the Congressional Record dated April 6, 1950. It appears on Page A2775. Seymour, Indiana, March 25, 1950.

Dear Mr. Wilson:

I am in the furniture business and am rvriting this letter to request that you obtain for me a subsidy on our platform rockers. We are now making about a thousand a year and are eager to step this production up to 50,000 as soon as possible. With so many people in this country getting rocking-chair money, we feel that the market is unlimited for our product. Since you are voting money for potatoes, cotton, tobacco, railroads, aviation, and many other industries, I see no reason why we in the furniture business should be slighted.

Now, we would like a guaranteed price of $50 each for these rockers. In the event that lve are unable to sell all of them, we will arrange to burn them right here at the factory rather than go to the expense of shipping them somewhere else to be destroyed. I notice that you paid $2.90 a bag for potatoes in Maine and then shipped them to Chicago, which raised the cost to $4 a bag, and then sold them to farmers for 1 cent a bag. That sort of thing is pretty expensive, so we will gladly arrange to destroy anv surplus of our rockers right at the factory.

Please let me hear from you as soon as possible regarding the above-mentioned rocker prog'ram, as we are eager to get the Government checks rolling in. Yours most respectfully, Henry Bolling.
