Abstract:

Simon examines the problem created by the larger number of veterinarians graduating not only at North Carolina State University's School of Veterinary Medicine but also at other similar institutions across the nation with the number of pets and farms animals that are holding steady or increasing only slightly. The competition to care for these animals is forcing down prices they can charge and forcing veterinarians to face a lower standard of living.

Abstract:

Bob Wilson knew from the ground up how intensive the floor-cleaning business can be, having pushed a heavy buffer around stores during his high school days. At his business in Sparta in Alleghany County he set to work building a new type of buffer. What he came up with revolutionized the industry and created such a demand that he started his own manufacturing company. Sales for the machine, the Pioneer/Eclipse, reached $800,000 the first year. In 1986, five years later, sales are projected at $18 million.
