FIELDS AND FORESTS of Mason County produce
a number of plants which are important in the manu-
facture of drugs and medicines. The common foxglove
is the source of digitalis. Belladonna yields atropine.
Menthol and other essences are derivatives of spear-
mint and peppermint. The Oregon grape --berberis
possess valuable medicinal properties. Most important
of all, perhaps, is cascara, the bark of the buckthorn
tree, which is gathered and shipped in extensive quan-
tities.
Some of these plants occur naturally, others require
cultivation of varying degrees. But all are important to every citizen of this com-
munity, for they form the nucleus of an industry which could expand and grow,
and thereby create new opportunities for employment. These opportunities would
exist not only within the "herb industry" itself, but in
many related lines. Cultivating, gathering and processing
equipment would be needed in greater quantities. Shipping
containers and forwarding facilities would be required. The
establishment of any new industry, or the expansion of
any present industry, invariably, reacts on a community
as does a pebble dropped in a pool; the effects spread out.
Added purchasing power filters through every business,
every profession, every home. All members of the com-
munity benefit, whether they work for wages or operate
a business of their own.
The individual who eeks to market foxglove- or be a
factor in cascara bark on a commercial scale--may nut
consider himself an "industrialist." But the fact is that he
is justthat, for he inevitably faces the same basic problems
, as does the owner of a factory or a railroad or a shipping
"%.
line. He must invest money in his venture, either for gathering gear or for storage
facilities and shipping equipment. If his venture is extensive enough he must hire
others to help him, and thus becomes an employer -- a creator of jobs, of pur-
chasing power for others as well as for himself.
This money he invests represents his risk as does the time, the effort and the
thought which he devotes to his own venture. As he sells his foxglove, or cas-
cara or belladonna, he pays for the equipment he bought. He pays those who.
have helped him. And, quite naturally, he hopes to have something "left over"
--money which represents his return on his investment and his compensation
for the risks taken.
Mason County--and all Americawas founded and built on
the fundamental principle that any man or woman hould have
the right to workshould have the right to start a business of
his own and to enjoy the fruits of his labor. As a rcsult, no
other nation in the whole world cab approach the industrial
might of America. In no oher nation has the stmdard of living
risen so ' high for the individual willing to work for it. This
results from the American Way of Life, and is the pathway to
an even greater America. Why change it?
That is the basic, fundamental principle of the American way of life. For in
America, men and womenall men and womenhave the full freedom of
individual initiative. Each individual may choose for himself what shape his life
shall take. This is the source of America's great economic
strength this principle whi'ch says that any man is privi-
leged to risk his time and money and work in an enterprise
of his own choosing; which says, further, that hc , h::s the
right to enjoy the fruits of his honest effort if his venture
succeeds.
The sponsors of this series of advertisements devoted to com-
munity betterment are citizens of this community. They own
homes here. Their children go to school here. They have a deep
sense of responsibility to the individual citizens and to changes
which will affect the community. They are interested in devel-
oping a healthy community following the American Way of
Life, and thus keeping America and Mason County strong for
the generations to come.
Because of this ideal -- simple, yet so very, very wise --
America has become the greatest nation on Earth. Men
and women are given the incentive, the drive, the ambi-
tion, to plan ahead and build build new industries, new
products, new communities. In doing so they create better
living for themselves, and for their neighbors as well.
With this ideal kept constantly in mind, Mason County
-- and all America can make the future one of still
greater promise for every man, woman and child.
