Raise More Corn.

To encourage our customers to plant more corn We propose to give as a premium to the one of them showing the best twenty ears of corn on or before November l5. 1909. one of our best Studebaker Bussies. We do not believe that our farmers will ever prosper as they should until they raise more corn. More corn means more hogs and smaller store accounts. Millions of dollars go to the Western farmers every year from the South to pay for corn. meat and mules. coRse. quently the Western farmers are out of debt and show larger bank accounts than ever before. The South should be self sustaining.
 Very truly your friends.
