MORRIS, EDITOR Some remarkable facts have been given to me by F. B. Wood, man- ager of the Equity co-operative live- stock marketing company at South St. Paul This farmers’ marketing com- pafly was established only four years ago. Last October the company handled 27 cars of stock more than any other one commission house op- During the same rmonth it handled more stock at Chicago than it handled at South St. Paul. and moved into a fine new building of its own at South St. Paul, costing $70,000. The company has become the largest co-operatlve livestock market- ing company in the country, and one of the largest, if not the largest, com- pany of any kind handling livestock. . All this in four short years. This result, says Mr. Wood, has been obtained solely through adver- tising in FARMER-OWNED papers. By “farmer-owned” papers Mr. Wood means papers in actual control of farmers, like the Nonpartisan Leader and other Nonpartisan league papers. The Nonpartisan Leader was the chief medium used by the Equity to adver- tise its business at South St. Paul and Chicago. Nonpartisan league official state papers in several states also were used. No ads were run in the daily papers or in the so-called “farm press,” that is, in the farm advertis- ing mediums which some advertisers prefer to real farmer papers edited in the interests of their readers and not in the interests of their advertisers. FARMERS WANT "A FEARLESS PRESS This is a striking result obtained by use of the advertising columns of free and fearless papers. It shows that the readers of the Nonpartisan Leader, for instance, are so interested in the paper that they read and heed the ads. In the case of the Equity . livestock department, the ads caused them to try the Equity service, and the service being good they continued to patronize the -Equity, with the re- sult which Mr. Wood shows. Farmers are more interested in reading matter and advertising car- ried in papers edited in their interests than in those edited in the interests of advertisers or of big business gener~ ally. Then there also is this proposi- tion: Farmers are anxious to show that they appreciate manufacturers and business firms which advertise in independent publications. They know that when the ad of a dealer appears in the Leader it is placed there for the purpose of doing legitimate busi- ness with farmers, not for the purpose of influencing the editor in political and economic matters. They know that, because they know that the Leader does not accept ads from any- body who tries to influence its edito- rial opinion. In thus patronizing the advertisers of the liberal press, read- ers are helping to put a free press on a firm foundation in this country. The offer I made to readers in the last issue still holds good. I will con- tinue to send an original, authograph- ed cartoon drawing by Baer or Morris, large size for framing, to each one of you who writes to an advertiser who uses OTHER farm papers but does NOT use the Leader, telling him why he ought to use the Leader. Send us a copy of the letter you write and we” will mail the original drawing to you. : PAGE TWO .The company has just erected- E ADVERTISEMENTS I have wrltten a book, en- titled “All About Silos. » It describes silos of different types, and explains the good and bad points of each; tells about silage as feed.
