Whiteside Leads State 



In Fly Spray Contest 



ILLINOIS Farm Supply Company's 

 fly spray contest which was in 

 effect between April 15 and June 

 15 more than doubled the sales of Blue 

 Seal fly spray and Blue Seal fly and 

 insect killer conipared to a corre- 

 sponding period a year ago. More than 

 30,000 gallons of these products were 

 sold within recent weeks which is ap- 

 proximately 30 per cent more than the 

 entire gallonage sold during the Sum- 

 mer of 1932, 



Whiteside Service Company carried 

 off first honors in the contest with 

 Burnie Vos leading the state with 1,216 

 points covering 341 gallons sold, de- 

 livered and paid for prior to June 15. 

 Earle B. Johnson, another truck sales- 

 man for Whiteside Service, took second 

 place with 1,007 points, covering 375 V^ 

 gallons. Vos won the contest because 

 he sold more customers than his team- 

 mate. Each sale to a customer counted 

 five points while each gallon of fly 

 spray counted one point and each gal- 

 lon of fly killer two points. Vos won a 

 pair of high top boots and Johnson 

 an electric alarm clock. The total gal- 

 lonage sold by Whiteside during the 

 contest period was 954^^4 gallons. 



Other companies having two or more 

 men qualifying among the 75 high 

 men in the state, each of whom will 

 receive an automatic focusing fash- 

 light, were: Shelby-Effingham Serv- 

 ice Company, Will County Farm Sup- 

 ply Company, St. Clair Service Com- 

 pany, Madison Service Company, Pe- 

 oria County Service Company, Greene 

 County Service Company, Ford Coun- 

 ty Service Company, Adams Service 

 Company, Randolph Service Company, 

 Champaign County Service Company, 

 Stephenson Service Company, Monroe 

 Service Company, Jersey County 

 Farm Supply Company, Livingston 

 Service Company, Fruit Belt Service 

 Company, Iroquois Service Company, 

 Winnebago Service Company, Lake- 

 Cook Farm Supply Company, and 

 Schuyler Service Company. 



The price of Blue Seal fly spray was 

 substantially reduced this season al- 

 though the killing strength and the 

 repellency of this spray have been de- 

 cidedly improved. One additional in- 

 gredient (which costs $300 per drum, 

 wholesale) has been largely respon- 

 sible for the improvement over the 

 spray sold last year. This spray is 

 clean, safe, dependable, will not burn, 

 blister, or irritate the skin of the ani- 

 mal, or taint the milk. 



Blue Seal fly and insect killer has 

 proved to be one of the most effective 

 sprays for use in dairy barns, milk 

 houses, and in the home. It is es-

Here's How Sales Tax 



Revenue Is Spent 



CHARITY AS A CAREER 



Chicago, July 6. — I am hiring sales- 

 men and saleswomen. Last week a 

 man came in to see me, sent by a 

 church organization. He was well 

 dressed and well educated. In time he 

 asked what basis we paid on. When I 

 told him that it was all commission, 

 but that we furnished all the leads, 

 and his customers were strictly his 

 and that we protected him on that, he 

 asked, "Can you guarantee me $19 a 

 week?" I told him that we could not, 

 but that it would be very easy to make 

 that, and he said, "There are four of 

 us in the family, my brother-in-law 

 and his wife, myself and my wife, and 

 we are each on the relief rolls and get 

 $49.50 a week, and we can live very 

 comfortably on that, so guess it will 

 not pay to give up a good thing for 

 such an indefinite proposition." 



Are the men and women of Chicago 

 getting so indolent that they will ac- 

 cept charity rather than go to work? 

 No wonder there is a seeming de- 

 pression. We cannot get business go- 

 ing unless every one gets his hands, 

 feet, and brains working. — CHESTER
