A recent story in "Prairie Farmer" 



points out how essential farm prosperity 

 is to the welfare of local painters. A 

 photograph accompanying the story 

 shows four Whiteside County profession- 

 al painters spreading Soyoil Paint in the 

 "Paint-up, Fix-up" Campaign, sponsored 

 by the Whiteside County Farm Bureau. 



"The old saying, 'Seeing is Believing.' 



is certainly true," says John F. Phillips, 

 truck salesman for the Livingston Serv- 

 ice Company. "All the talking I could 

 do would not sell as many Brunswick 

 Tires as letting my customers see the 

 actual results of the year-in and year- 

 out use of Brunswicks on my truck over 

 all types of roads and in all kinds of 

 weather." 



"Create a Better Market for Soybeans 



Through the Use of Soyoil Paint," is the 

 popular slogan among soybean growers 

 this year. Shipments of Soyoil Paint the 

 past six weeks totaled over 62.000 gal- 

 lons. County Service Companies have 

 made a new all time record in the sales 

 of Soyoil Paint during August and 

 September. 



Schuyler Service Company distributed 



$6,130 in patronage dividend checks at 

 its Fifth Annual Meeting, Rushville,

 presented a most encouraging report to 

 some 600 stockholders in attendance 

 from Brown and Schuyler Counties. The

 members in good standing was $13.88. 

 Walter B. Peterson of Illinois Farm 

 Supply Company was principal speaker. 



President Roosevelt's decision to con- 

 centrate federal expenditures on the new 

 "non-permanent" type of Public Works 

 is expected to stimulate another tem- 

 porary boom to begin later this Fall. Mo- 

 tor oil prices may be higher next Spring. 

 County Service Company customers who 

 place their Motor Oil orders this Fall, 

 for Spring delivery, will be guaranteed 

 against any price advance, and will be 

 given the full benefit of any price de- 

 cline. 



Most of the County Farm Bureaus took advantage of community and county Fairs this sum- 

 mer to tell the story of organization, and to advertise Farm Bureau services. Here is one 

 of the exhibits sponsored by the Mercer County Farm Bureau in their large 40 > 160' tent at 

 the Aledo Fair, Other exhibits included soil conservation, barberry eradication, farm account- 

 ing, insurance sarvica, Service Company, Producers Creamery and livestock marlieKng. 



Four salesmen of the Peoria County 



Service Company seem to have broken 

 some kind of a record. This Summer 

 has been "baby time." Mr. and Mrs. 

 Walter Heinz have a baby boy. Mr. and 

 Mrs. Roy Rench have a baby girl. Mr. 

 and Mrs. Gerald Huffman have a baby 

 girl. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Heinz have a 

 baby girl. All of which proves that "This 

 is the Year" and the girls are in the 

 majority.
