Five hundred Iowa farmers have
tried the experiment of going Mto
business for themselves, dealing in
many staple articles used upon the
farm and buying all kinds of farm
produce. In 1901 they transacted bust
ness to the amount of $620.000. at an
outlay of about $4,000, inclusive of
salaries, taxes and insurance. In 1902
the volume of business was approxi-
mately $630,000. Since these farmers
organized their company thirteen years
ago. the business transacted has
amounted to over $4,000,000. and the
expense of carrying 1t on has aver
aged $4,000 a year. The story of this
