 Testimonial Letters to Mrs. Johnson 



FROM THE GOVERNOR OF IOWA 



Executive Office, Des Moines, August 20, 1906. 



My Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge your very interesting letter of 

 the 17th instant. It always gives me great pleasure to mark the pro- 

 gress of Iowa in any direction, but I find especial gratification in what 

 you say with respect to Mrs. Johnson. The world is not very kind in a 

 business way, and she can well feel proud of her victories over adverse 

 circumstances. She well deserves the title "Poultry Queen of Iowa." 



Yours very truly, ALBERT B. CUMMINS. 



Iowa State Register and Farmer, 

 City. 



Iowa City, Iowa, April 15, 1906. 



Mrs. D. C. Johnson, Maxwell, Iowa. Dear Madam: By inquiry, 1 

 am referred to you by Prof. W. J. Rutherford, Iowa State Agriculture 

 College, for information on poultry. I desire poultry for market, and 

 from what knowledge I have, have thought of securing prolific layers 

 as a breed. Also I wish to purchase one or more incubators and am 

 satisfied of several good ones on the market, also some inferior ones, but 

 for one unexperienced it is hard to decide; thinking perhaps that infor- 

 mation from one who has had experience along this line would probably 

 evade many mistakes more costly than information secured at begin- 

 ing. Hoping you can furnish me information desired, I await your 

 terms, etc. Yours very respectfully, R. S. COCHRAN. 



Jackson, Minn., July 10. 1906. 



Mrs. D. C. Johnson, Maxwell, Iowa. Dear Madam: Your book on 

 poultry raising and how to operate incubators has been recommended 

 to me. Please send me one by return mail and oblige. Enclosed find 

 P. O. order for $1.00 for same. Yours truly, GEO. D. HORST. 



Slater, Iowa, May 6, 1906. 



Dear Mrs. Johnson: Enclosed find check for three dollars ($3.00) 

 for which please send me your Poultry Compound at agent's prices, as 

 I want to see if I can do something with it. It is rather late in the sea- 

 son to do much this year, but perhaps I can sell enough so 1 can do bet- 

 ter next year. I have had several inquiries for it, and I thought if I had 

 some on hand there would be still more demand for it. I may try the 

 other remedy later on. When people find how good jour compound is 

 1 think they will be very apt to call for the other. .Hoping you may be 

 able to send it at once, as I have two or three sales in view now, I re- 

 main yours very truly, MRS. J. M. ERICHSON. 



Kalona, Iowa, June 1, 1906. 



Mrs. Johnson Dear Friend: No doubt you think me a fake, as I 

 have not returned the money for your compound, but I think of you 

 every time I look at my nice flock of chicks. I sold the compound. We
