Eight Creamery Plants 

 For Sale 



Just Relax While I 



Explain, Says Charles 



Tarble of Cumberland 



County 



Do you want to buy a creamery on 

 the installment plan ? Sounds like 

 the good old days of '29 when you 

 bought everything you wanted for "$1 

 down and a dollar when they catched you." 



The days of high pressure installment 

 telling, we hope, are at an end but I am 

 in position to sell you a creamery, in 

 fact, eight creameries, located within 

 Illinois, on such easy terms that you 

 will pay for them and make money while 

 you are doing it. It sounds like an at- 

 tractive proposition, doesn't it? Just re- 

 lax while I explain. 



You have bought creameries before 

 and paid for them but you never owned 

 one. Cooperation is the magic word that 

 opens the door to the ownership of eight 

 creameries for the farmers of Illinois. 

 All you have to do is permit the truck 

 salesman from one of these creameries 

 to pick up your cream at your door and 

 deliver it to the nearest creamery where 

 it is made into quality butter and sold 

 at a quality price. 



The difference between quality butter 

 and ordinary butter 'will pay for the 

 creamery while you pursue the even 

 tenor of your ways. It has been found 

 that cream picked up from the farm 

 and delivered in good condition to the 

 creamery is the only method by which 

 92 score butter can be made. 



Rural free delivery gets the news to 

 the farm while it is fresh. Rural free 

 cream routes g:et the cream to the cream- 

 ery while it is fresh. No one wishes to 

 discontinue rural free delivery. Rural 

 cream routes will revolutionize the butter 

 business in Illinois. This is the reason 

 we can eventually own these creameries, 

 because the man who makes a quality 

 product is always rewarded. In this re- 

 spect we are building for the future be- 

 cause we will not only own the creameries 

 but we will own a system far more 

 valuable than physical assets, namely, a 

 cooperative system by which all of the 

 advantages will accrue to the owners, 

 namely, IlUnois farmers. 



Through cooperation we are also ren- 

 dering a service to the consuming public 

 because they are being assured a quality

product at a competitive price. 92 score 

 butter was not known in Illinois until 

 these cooperative creameries were or- 

 ganized and the system of farm pick-up 

 instituted. Now approximately 20 per 

 cent of the output of these creameries is 

 the finest money can buy. 



Persons interested in figures have 

 found that Illinois farmers have profited 

 to the extent of fl,500,000 because these 

 cooperative creameries of which I speak 

 have given the last cent which they could 

 consistent with safety to the farmer for 

 his butter fat. This has forced competi- 

 tors to meet the price. Illinois has thus 

 profited to the extent of from 3c to 5c 

 per pound over and above surrounding 

 states. Even more valuable than this we 

 now have a yard stick by which we can 

 measure the value of a pound of Illinois 

 butter fat. 



Mr. Illinois farmer, we have now given 

 you eight creameries; we have made it 

 possible for you to make the best butter 

 in the world and believe me the public 

 appreciates it. We have now given you a 

 yardstick by which to measure the value 

 of not only all the butter fat you produce 

 but all the butter fat your children will 

 ever produce. I started out to sell it to 

 you and I sold it to myself and now I 

 am giving it to you. It is yours for the 

 asking. You can own it through cooper- 

 ation. We are in the midst of a great 

 campaign for soil conservation. Let's 

 conserve our markets also. If you are 

 interested get in touch with us. 



Magic In Home f ■ 

 Accounts 



(Continued from page 26) 



lists are electric refrigerators, running 

 water in the home, and children going 

 to college. 



From Rock Island comes a report: 

 "Through accounts I found that $40 i)er 

 year for the last 4 years had been sf)ent 

 on kerosene for the stove. Recently 

 electricity was brought to our home at 

 a minimum fixed rate. I purchased an 

 electric range for less than the $160 

 spent for kerosene, and since the rate 

 was set for the electricity there vras 

 no added expense in the way of fuel. 

 I now enjoy the comforts of this means 

 of cooking and do not feel that it is 

 an extravagance." 



Another woman said that she in- 

 stalled an electric refrigerator at less 

 expense than her former ice bills. She 

 had kept an accurate account of \what 

 had been spent and felt justified in 

 her purchase. 



A home maker in Marshall-Putnam 

 county found that she could afford to 

 keep help in the house while she cared 

 for her poultry and dairy projects, and 

 still have more cash. She raised tur- 

 keys. 



But it isn't only the woman of the 

 house who profits by this accounting. 

 The ideal situation is realized when 

 records are kept of farm expenses as 

 well as those of the home. Men. through 

 the Farm Bureau farm account project, 

 have shown their desire to co-operate. 

 In this way. the wife knows what there 

 is to spend as well as her husband. 



As all projects of the Homemaker 

 are correlated, from keeping accounts 

 the women show more interest in the 

 complete business management of the 

 home. Financial security is one of the 

 underlying reasons for accounts. From 

 that arises the questions, "Is the in- 

 surance adequate?" "Is the deed for 

 the farm intact?" "Are there loopholes 

 in contracts made?" Because of this 

 interest, lessons in business manage- 

 ment and legal affairs have been pre- 

 sented in 26 counties. 



The ultimate goal of economic secur- 

 ity is neared. without a doubt, with a 

 beginning of keeping accounts and with 

 a study of the business of financing and 

 maintaining a home.

 She does exactly as she pleases and so

 pleases? 



John — Absolutely. I don't go looking
