In addition to our law practice, our family has other business interests, including General Machinery and Supply Co., Inc., an independent industrial supply company that has served the Four State area since 1914, and a rather significant row-crop farm operation. All of our law firm's manufacturing and trucking company clients depend upon good and safe roads. All of General Machinery's industrial supplies arrive by truck and are delivered by truck. Our crops are hauled to the elevator by truck. All of our business interests require and depend upon good and safe highways here in southeast Kansas.
