The Voice of Small Business
»•- •*
is the Voice of America
. . . AND NOW IT CAN BE HEARD!
Small Businessmen Form New Organization
Pledged to Elect Republican Administration
*
Time was when small business had no “voice.”
There was no need. Free Enterprise allowed the
creative ingenuity of the American businessman
full expression.
But in recent years, political encroachments have
taken away basic rights that the men and women
in small business need for survival.
As a result, small business—which represents 98%
of all the businesses in the United States—must
make itself heard.
For that reason, the Small Business Committee iot
a Republican Administration has been formed.
This new organization is interested in relief from
Federal domination of small business. It wants
the re-acceptance of the principles of FREE
Enterprise!
In brief, the npn and women in small business
would welcome the opportunity to make *their
living by virtue of their own initiative and
ingenuity. They would like to work without
becoming involved in yards and yards of govern
mental red tape every time they turn around.
Experience in the past has proved to small business
that a Republican administration will help save ths
nation from the dangerous trend toward complete
governmental control.
That’s why the men and women in small business
—people like your grocer, your barber or hair
dresser, your local shop owners—have formed
the Small Business Committee for a Republican
Administration.
Remember, what affects small business affects
you! Controls that unnecessarily restrain the
freedom of small business also restrain your
freedom. For in this nation, small businesses pro
duce the majority of our goods . . . employ the
majority of our labor. What more representative
voice could America have?
So listen to the voice of small business. It speaks
for you!
