Undaunted, Marr drove the car back and forth in front of Durant's house that evening, and the next morning he returned. Impressed by Marr's persistence, Durant this time agreed to go for a ride. Only then did Durant realize that Marr wasn't trying to se ....

.... a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to stabilise markets and to ensure reasonable prices for the consumer.
