QUESTION Why do poultry journals want subscribers to say, 

 when answering advertisements, that the ad was seen in the journal? 



ANSWER Advertisers will not patronize a paper if it does not 

 bring them good returns, and the papers, therefore, want the adver- 

 tiser to know how much business they bring him. A buyer confers a 

 favor upon the advertiser also, when he tells where he saw the ad. 



QUESTION If one is defrauded, or not treated fairly in pur- 

 chasing stock or eggs, is there any way to have the matter adjusted? 



ANSWER If the seller is an advertiser, any of the poultry 

 journals in which he advertises will investigate the matter if there 

 is evidence of downright fraud. Most Specialty Clubs are also 

 willing to take up complaints against members made by other mem- 

 bers.
