"a YOUR Business Agent looking out
for the financial interest of your mem
hersl If not, why notl See to it that
your Agent gets The PROGRESSIVE FAR
IIER and that he keeps you posted on
prices.
Il is expected that you will take this
naper to your Sub Alliance, show it to
the brethren and talk freely with them
about what it contains. Do the same
with every circular, or price list that
YOU receive from this Office.
Unless you area bonded agent, please
accompany each order with sufficient
money to pay the bill. 1t is positively
forbidden by the State Executive Com
mittee that the State Business Agent
should send out goods except in such
eases.
All brethren wishing to purchase
garden seed of any kind will find it TO
their interest to place their orders with
this Office. By so doing they will get
20 per cent. off of published catalogue
prices, and there will still remain a
small brokerage to the State Alliance.
VIII the brethren bear In mind that
bacon" is smoked sides, and that it
costs about one cent more per pound
than bulk meat! If you want bulk
meat, or white sides, please don't call
it bacon" You get yourself and this
office into trouble by doing so. Stick
pin here.
