Sowerbutt's Expansion

"We can buy a factory doing war work," Polly said. "Plenty of contracts around. A factory manager over at Dunstable - one of our regulars - says it is straightforward. They inspect your machinery and give you a contract. Good prices and you get the government cheque when you deliver. His only headache is that everything is needed yesterday."
Sowerbutt nodded, he had always thought of himself as a businessman but not with a factory.
"Farming too. You know how short food is and Cocker says his family in Essex are having real problems. No men with the call up and young girls having to do the ploughing. We can hide away our lads with call-up papers on the farm."
