Is Cooperative Marketing 
Here to Stay? 
(Continued from page 373) 
on indebtedness. It seems to me here 
is a place where we can make some 
savings. Take No. 11: appropriation 
for advertising. Personally I would 
not want to pass that item until I had 
a report on the results of our last ad¬ 
vertising campaign. No. 17: office rent. 
I am wondering if we are not paying 
more for these offices than other con¬ 
cerns are paying for like space. 
The Lean Director: Well now, take 
that automobile item. There is $900 
for one car. 
The General Manager: Let me ex¬ 
plain, Mr. President. $300 of that item 
only is for maintenance. The other 
$600 is for depreciation. In other 
words, if we allow $900 for automobile 
maintenance we will keep our invest¬ 
ment good through the repurchase each 
year of a new car. 
The Lean Director: Oh! 
The Nervous Director: I move we 
adopt the budget as presented. 
The Businesslike Director: Now, gen¬ 
tlemen, don’t get in a burry. There are 
some items in the budget which don’t 
look right to me. I think we have made 
a good beginning by having all our 
expense laid down before us, but I don’t 
want to pass the thing as a whole. I 
sug’gest that we consider item by item, 
and that any items we are not sure 
about be laid on the table until our next 
meeting when additional information 
will be available. 
The Lean Director: I believe you 
are right. 
At this point the Fat Director receives 
another telephone call. He nods to the 
Director Who Plays Politics and they 
leave the room together. 
The meeting is in confusion for a 
minute and the President raps sharply 
for order: Mr. Secretary, will you 
please ask the gentlemen to return to 
the room? 
The Secretary goes into the outer of¬ 
fice where the Fat Director is tele¬ 
phoning and sharing the receiver with 
his friend, the Director Who Plays 
Politics. Seeing the Secretary, the Fat 
Director cuts short his conversation 
and the three return to the inner office. 
President: Gentlemen, I am going 
to expedite the adoption of this budget 
by having you vote Yes or No on it, 
item by item. Item No. 1: What js 
your pleasure? The ayes have it. 
Item No. 2: The ayes have it again. 
Item No. 3: 
The Businesslike Director: I move 
that it be laid on the table. 
President: So ordered. 
The President continues through¬ 
out the budget. The Businesslike Direc¬ 
tor questions three items which are laid 
on the table. 
President: What is your pleasure 
concerning the unadopted items of this 
budget? 
The Businesslike Director: I move 
that we instruct the General Manager to 
furnish facts to each one of us immedi¬ 
ately to substantiate the amounts bud¬ 
geted so we may study them between 
now and the next meeting. 
The Me-Too Director: I second the 
motion. 
President: All in favor say Aye. 
Ayes have it. 
The Fat Director glances at the 
clock. He nudges the politically in¬ 
clined director. 
The Director Who Plays Politics: 
I move that we adjourn. 
The Me-Too Director: I second the 
motion. 
The President starts to put the ques¬ 
tion but the Fat Director has already 
left the room. Gradually the members 
file out. There remain the Businesslike 
Director and the President. 
President: Well, Joe, we made some 
progress to-day. 
The Businesslike Director: Yes, Jim, 
I feel better about things. 
Home Curing Pork—Instead of us¬ 
ing nothing but salt in your pork cur¬ 
ing this winter, try mixing a little 
sugar and saltpeter with the salt and 
see whether your hams and bacons 
will not taste better. The saltpeter 
causes the meat to hold its color, while 
the sugar prevents it from becoming 
hard and dry. For 100 pounds of 
meat, use twelve pounds salt, two 
pounds brown sugar and two" ounces 
saltpeter.

e I set out to build a farm engine 
that would have every feature 
the farmer wanted and none he 
didn’t want. It has now been 
on the market six years. Thou¬ 
sands of satisfied users tell me 
I’ve succeeded. I'm proud to 
have this engine bear my name.”

rkable Engine 
There is no other farm engine 
like it. Simple in construction 
and easy to operate. It is only 
one engine, yet it takes the 
place of six engines. It will give 
from IK to 6 H. P., yet it is 90 
light that two men can carry it 
easily. Set it anywhere and 
put it to work. 
Change Power 
as Needed 
It is a 6 H. P. when you need 
6, or IK H. P. when you need 
only IK. or any power in be¬ 
tween. Fuel consumption in 
proportion to power used and 
remarkably low at all times. 
Adjustment from one power to 
another is instantaneous. 
Burns Kerosene 
Operates with kerosene or gaso¬ 
line. Easy starting, no crank¬ 
ing. The greatest gas engine 
value on the market. And you 
can prove all of these statements 
to your own satisfaction. 
What Users Say 
Ivan L. Blake, of Hannibal, 
New York, says: “Only engine 
economical for all jobs. I run a 
28-inch cord wood saw, a 24- 
inch rip saw, a washer, a pump, 
and a grinder, and it sure runs 
them fine. It has perfect run¬ 
ning balance, and it sets quiet 
anywhere.” 
Clarence Rutledge, of Mani- 
toulan Island, Ontario, says: 
"Have given my Edwards four 
years’ steady work and like it 
fine. It uses very little fuel. I 
run a 28-inch cord wood saw, 
also a rip saw, 8-inch gr .ider, 
ensilage cutter, line shaft for 
shop, churn, washer, separator 
and pump. Have had ten other 
engines and the Edwards beats 
them all," 
Frank Foell, of Cologne, New 
Jersey, says: “ It’s a great pleas¬ 
ure to own an Edwards engine. 
I run a wood saw, cement mixer, 
threshing machine, etc. Do 
work for my neighbors. Easy 
to move around and easy to run. 
I would not have any other.'!
