Terminal Elevator 



(Continued jrom page 4) 



terminals are operated by Havanna 

 River Grain, Prairie Grain and Western 

 Illinois Grain companies, all having close 

 working relationships with Illinois Grain 

 Terminals G>mpany. 



The Terminals Company in turn will 

 work with the other lAA grain broker 

 and commission affiliate, the Illinois 

 Grain Corporation which operates on the 

 boards of trade of Chicago, Peoria and 

 St. Louis. 



Illinois Grain Terminals also has a 

 branch office at Buffalo, N. Y. 



The purchase of the Irondale elevator 

 in Chicago rounds out a complete market- 

 ing program for- Illinois farmers arid 

 securing such an elevator is considered 

 fortunate as it enables the Terminals 

 Company to get into the grain merchan- 

 dising field quickly with a going busi- 

 ness. 



Signing the purchase agreement for the 

 Illinois Grain Terminals Company were 

 Homer Curtiss, Jo Daviess county, Com- 

 pany president, and James F. Holderman, 

 Grundy county, secretary. 



Illinois farmers are being offered an 

 opportunity to invest in their grain mar- 



keting cooperative through a $2,750,000 

 offering of six per cent cumulative pre- 

 ferred stock. Twelve fieldmen will be 

 working to distribute this stock under the 

 direction of L. L. Colvis, secretary of 

 marketing, and George E. Metzger, lAA 

 field secretary.

bushels of grain annually by rail and 

 water movement. This should be a con- 

 siderable factor in correcting these and 

 other price inequities and have its influ- 

 ence on the market price of every bushel 

 of grain marketed in Illinois. 



Yes, this new farm tool costs money — 

 it requires a considerable capital outlay. 

 I am sure that thousands of grain pro- 

 ducers will welcome this opportunity to 

 make a substantial investment in a grain 

 merchandising operation. Grain handling 

 profits on Illinois grain have paid for 

 many terminal elevators — this is one 

 time that farmers expect to hold the title 

 when payment is made. 



A good water supply is a basic first step 

 in farm house modernization. 



Golden Rules 



(Continued from page Jl) 



the so-called "big shots" are the member 

 owners of the business. Directors and 

 managers are those who serve the organi- 

 zation. Cooperatives are not organized 

 to give men jobs or directors special 

 privileges. Directors or managers should 

 earn the right of serving them. 



A commerical cooperative should not 

 be used to convert quickly the raw materi- 

 al of untrained men into top leadership. 

 The experiment may be too expensive. 

 While it is true that men grow in the 

 cooperative field, they should have first 

 developed leadership ability as qualifica,- 

 tion to serve in important positions. 



How well men serve, not how long, 

 should be the yardstick of tenure of 

 office. As the autumn of a well-lived 

 life should be the most beautiful, so 

 should the older leadership of the coop- 

 erative be characterized by a generous 

 attitude toward new and growing leader- 

 ship and with warmth and admiration 

 for those who have served them. The 

 size of a man is measured by how grace- 

 fully he can turn over authority to those 

 who replace him, rather than how grate- 

 fully he accepts new responsibilities.
