How To Increase Your Income 
without 
Paying More Taxes 
The history of labor for the past few years shows that any 
increase in income is quickly followed by an increase in the 
amount withheld for taxes plus a rise in the cost of living. Dur- 
ing the latter part of 1947 many of us found that our expenses 
had increased so fast that we did not have the money to buy the 
extra things we had hoped to purchase. This pinch is being felt 
by all classes and there is but one solution. 
You can get a tax free increase in your income only by pro- 
ducing more of your needs at home. Our government wants you 
to save. The world cries hungrily for more food. The biggest in- 
crease in living costs is in the price of food and it must remain 
thus as long as we have a starving world to feed. 
If you used your spare time at some good paying job and 
made an extra $100 you could only spend about $75 of this after 
paying taxes. Then this $75 would only buy about $35 worth of 
food at present price levels. Therefore, your spare time job has 
actually paid you only $35 or your income has been increased 
only by about a third of your earnings. 
On the other hand, if you use your spare time cultivating a 
garden for your family, you get the highest price for your labor 
and there is no tax or middleman’s profit on your earnings. 
Everything you make is yours to consume and use as you please. 
Your income is better, because you have relieved the greatest 
drain on it. Your family’s health is better, because they eat the 
things they should have and they can eat them in abundance. 
Millions of home gardens helped to win the war. Even more 
millions are now needed to keep us from losing the peace. There 
is every reason for every able bodied citizen to produce food in 
1948. From your efforts this year, will come not only our vic- 
tory in peace but also an abundance of health and prosperity for 
your family. 
And may we suggest that you make that garden with Slate’s 
Seeds.
