Senior Credit Facility [Abstract] |
Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | Senior Credit Facility In February 2012, the Company entered into a $150,000 credit facility. This facility has a term of five years and matures in February 2017.

Interest rates for advances under the facility are LIBOR plus 1.1% based upon covenants related to total indebtedness to earnings (1.3% at September 30, 2014). The agreement contains certain covenants and restrictions, none of which are expected to significantly affect the Company's operations or ability to pay dividends.
