ings" in their localities and list car
load orders, or less, and send in their
orders through the general business
agent. who will indorse those orders
and forward to the factory and have
the factory scrutinixe the signers OF the
joint note and pass on its security, thus
relieving this ONCE from any personal
reliability or responsibility Of the trans
action.
1t is desired by the factory that five
at least of the most responsible farmers
Of locality sign the note and thus as
sure that no delay nor danger will occur
in accepting the order when 1t arrives.
The price for the next 15 days is guar
anteed to be IL "a cents a pound for
carload lots at st. Paul, Mimi, or
Chicago, ILL.,, an additional charge Of
"a cent extra for lots less than car lots.
No discount on these prices; only
good to April Is. 1900.
Those not wishing to bother with time
orders can send in their cash with their
order and it will be promptly registered
with the factory and shipped at once.
Farmers desiring to take advantage of
these low prices who are not members
Of their local association must apply
direct to the National association for a
charter membership (if there is no local
Grain Growers association in the
neighborhood) to be qualified to have
his order accepted.
Where few farmers desire to take
advantage of these low prices they can
secure an organization, and earn profit
for their local association by permitting
the twine to go to their members at
cost price, while charging the farm
ers OUTSIDE OF THE SOCIETY FULL
PRICE. The association can thus get
their twine as cheap as any merchant
and sell it just enough below the mer-
chant to be sure of disposing of the en-
tire car load and making from four to
six cents a pound, as the price quoted
at this time Qf quoted at al) is from 16
to 18 cents q pound.
The profits which will come to the
association from this plan will pay the
membership fees and annual dues of the
entire association. pay all the expenses
of the local business agent for soliciting,
handling, distributing, collecting and
having froiphtc IN copo opd INV, ~ .
expenses of delegate to state and ma
t1onal conventions, by compelling the
farmers outside of the association to
pay the bills. 1t is further requested,
to insure safety to those who sign the
joint note, that they do not deliver any
twlne to any one except for cash, or
good note with good indorser. Trans
act your business on strictly business
principles and there will be no loss.
The price of twine will surely advance
and as our stock will go fast it is urged
that meeting be held all over the North
west within the next few weeks. Those
who do not want to take chances of get
ting up car load in their neighborhood
can send in their cash and have their
orders listed and filled. Farmers who
do not want to bother with Joint note
can pay in their cash to their local COM
m1ttee and they will send in the cash
for as much of the order as is paid for
and sign joint note for the remainder.
This is golden opportunity for our
deputy organizers to secure the organiz-
alton Of farmers into the great National
Grain Growers association and reap all
the benefits we can secure for our mem
bers.
The general business agent is under
ample bonds to protect the members in
any transaction that goes through his
hands. said bond being furnished by the
American Bonding and Trust Co.
