Classified Advertisements The farmers’ market place Fair and Unfair Advertisers BY OLIVER S. MORRIS, EDITOR You probably read the federal trade commission’s exposure of how the Agricultural Publishers’ association, consisting of 36 farm papers, betrayed the farmers, theirereaders, in the matter of farm machinery prices after the armistice. The Leader’s report of the exposure was printed on page 6 of the October 18 issue. These farm papers conspired with their advertisers to influ- ence farmers to buy machinery at war prices, without waiting for the after-the- war drop in prices. This is the kind of “service” unfair advertisers demand of editors and publishers. It is the kind of “service” they get in most of the farm papers. When you read those facts, did it occur to you that the farm papers guilty of this betrayal of the farmers’ interests are filled to overflowing with adver- tising ? * That they are 36 to 64 pages in size each issue, 75 to 90 per cent ad- vertising? . And that the Nonpartisan Leader is not getting a twentieth of this advertising though the Leader can sell more goods than any other farm paper? Furthermore, did you notice any other farm paper printing the expo- sure of the Agricultural Publishers’ association? : The Leader is willing to be small in size, because lack of.sufficient adver- tising revenue prevents our spending money for a bigger paper, if being small is the necessary result of our refusal to betray our readers at the behest of advertisers. But what we are getting at is this: ALL advertisers do NOT expect this kind of “service” of farm papers before they will patronize the advertising columns. OUR advertisers do NOT. They wouldn’t be in our columns if they did. They deserve your patronage because they are not trying to influence us to betray you. They are fair, even if all of them do not believe in your pro- gram. Here is a letter we got the other day from one of our advertisers: You have been telling your readers for quite a while that some effort should be made to reduce the price of machinery and supplies necessary in a farmer’s business of producing the crops, before the market price of the products that a farmer sells are reduced. Living in a farming community and knowing the farmer’s prob- lems, I heartily agree with this proposition. . Reducing the high cost of living to the consumcr may be all right, but it is too much to ask a farmer to produce his crops at a loss in order to reduce the price of foodstuffs. : I am so strongly of this opinion that I am writing you this letter to tell you that I have reduced the price of the Sheldon Batch Type Concrete Mixer, which has become standard equipment on thou- sands of farms, to practically the pre-war basis. Yours very truly, GEORGE C. SHELDON, President Sheldon Manufacturing Co. This is the kind of a message from an advertiser that we like to print— the kind of co-operation by manufacturers that PAYS. How different those advertisers who do not use the Leader, because they are against your economiec program, but who conspire with farm paper publishers to KEEP THE PRICE OF MACHINERY UP! : i s PAGE TWO P Twin City Fur Coat & Robe Co. - -geribes Lump Jaw, and 200 other C: and ADVERTISEMENTS ........................
