FARM YOUTH IN 

 CHICAGO INVITED 

 TO VISIT lAA 



FARM BUREAU and the Illinois Ag- 

 gricultural Association seldom look 

 with favor on the migration of young 

 people from rural areas to large cities. 



The lAA realizes, however, that 

 many are determined to try life in near- 

 by cities like Chicago. It is with this 

 thought in mind that we invite young 

 farm people arriving in Chicago to v isit 

 the personnel department of the llinois 

 Agricultural Association. Perhaps there 

 is an opportunity to suit you in your 

 own farm organization. 



If you can find a job with us, your 

 farm background will be of great value 

 to you. It will be of value to the 

 lAA. We do not wish to lure young- 

 sters away from the farm but invite 

 those to see us who are planning to 

 come to Chicago. 



The Association otTers a wide variety 

 of clerical jobs — general otiice work, 

 tyj-'ing, stenography, bookkeeping, and 

 office machines. The new otfice build- 

 ing provides a modern otlice environ- 

 ment. Salaries are based on prevailing 

 area rates and promotions are made from 

 within. 



The housing situation remains seri- 

 ous and anyone moving to Chic.igo should 

 make certain of living accommodations. 



If you plan to move to Chicago and 

 will be looking for work, write to the 

 personnel department. In your letter 

 you might mention what kind ot job 

 you feel qualified for, and also when 

 you expect to be available for work.

CORN DRYER INSURANCE 



When a corn dryer is used in con- 

 nection with a farm building, a permit 

 for such use must be attached to the 

 fire insurance policy covering such 

 building and its contents if insurance 

 protection is to remain in force. 



Farmers who contemplate the use ot 

 a corn dryer should see their lire in- 

 surance representative and make ar- 

 rangements for a permit. 



The permit will be issued tor periods 

 of 90 ciays, as desired, for a charge a> 

 provided by the official rate making 

 organization in Illinois. 



The dryer itself will not be pro- 

 tected unless it is specifically insured. 

 The amounts of coverage on the build- 

 ing, contents, or the dryer during the 

 period of operation may, if the insured 

 desires, be for lesser amounts than that 

 carried in the regular policy.
