survival tactics: Taking a different approach, SC logger spends in order to save

摘要

There's a saying that you have to spend money to make money, but in these times of unpredictable fuel prices, Rueben "Curly" White has not hesitated to spend money to help make and save money; he's recently bought a couple of new machines that according to him, drastically reduce fuel usage. White, 51, logs for Sumter-based Johnson Company doing business as White's Logging in Clarendon and surrounding counties. It's been a very beneficial relationship; White says that while they're finding themselves moving more often as of recent, they're still in timber and most importantly, still working. "I've been working for Johnson Co. since 1997," White says. "They're one of the most honest timber dealers I've ever worked for."
