ASK AN OLD TIMER. He'll tell you 

 about country grain prices before 

 the farmers elevators were organ- 

 ized. 



The line elevators had things their 

 own way. They took a stiff margin in 

 one section and paid above the market 

 to freeze out competition somewhere 

 else. Robbed Peter to pay Paul. Same 

 way on feed and farm supplies. 



The farmers elevators put a stop to 

 that. Many of 'em raised the price of 

 jrrain three or four cents a bushel. Some 

 as much as five or six cents. They blazed 

 the trail in co-operation. Showed that 

 farmers could run their own business. 



Then came Illinois Grain Corporation 

 and the Farmers National. They're doing 

 the same thing in the terminal markets 

 that the farmers elevators are doing lo- 

 cally. Providing competition. Paying 

 patronage dividends. Making the other 

 fellow pay up. Getting the best price 

 that can be had for your grain. 



The other fellow is paying a better 

 price because of the co-operative. 



The co-operatives have had a whole- 

 some effept on price, weights and grades, 

 and service. That's because they're or- 

 ganized by farmers and operated for the 

 benefit of farmers. 



It will pay you to patronize your own 

 farmers elevator and Illinois Grain Cor- 

 poration and Farmers National 

 Cirain Corporation. When you 

 withhold your support, you 

 invite a return of the con- 

 ditions they were organ- 

 ized to clean up. They're 

 here to serve you. Us6 

 them.
