Vance novel complete in six issues of The Star--Starts Monday. It tears the veneer from the kind of life many young women crave-—-the struggle Story starts Monday and ends Saturday. ann te G Twelve years ago, A. L. Brown was a “bum lawyer” in Seattle. He says so himself. He's rather proud of the fact that he recognized it himself and quit. He quit to become a farmer. He took over a stump patch near Nisqually. He was a greenhorn, but he meant business. And now Brown’s farm is known as “the parcel post ranch.” @ You see, after Brown mastered the art of farming, and converted his patch into one of the finest show farms in the West, a ranch of 2,600 acres, he also got busy on the job of scientifically bringing the producer and the con- sumer together. Then along came Uncle Samm, and Brown promptly annexed himself to Uncle's parcel post idea. @ Now over 50 per cent of the products of his ffarm are being distributed by parcel post. Brown is making money hand over fist. And his customers are saving money, of course. There isn’t anothar man in the country who has taken such fine advantage of the benefits of the parcel post—and A. L. Brown's fine syste mof efficiency is well worth knowing something about. @ The Star has sent Jack Jungmeyer, special writer, to give Brown and his farm the once- over. Jack has come back, enthused with the idea that Farmer Brown's accomplishments are chockful of inspiration and helpfulness to every man and woman, whether on the farm, in the office, or in the kitchen. You will want to read his stories about this unusual farmer and his wonderful farm, 80 miles from Seattle.
