Cream and Produce station here
Despite the fact that X had requested
chance TO present proposition in the
event they decided TO buy cream. TO
which he assented, this courtesy was
wholly overlooked
Some way, feel like one of you
and that / have real claim on your
continued support as ! have always
hustled for good markets and paid
you up to the limit. Is it not fact
that you are getting better prices for
your Produce than before / suarted9
1t must be SO as some of my best pa
irons had been direct shippers for
years.
/ have gone TO what for ne is con-
siderable expense so that could take
care of the business more promptly
and better and have worked hard in
giving everything my own personal
attention. In the matter of testing
the Cream / do all this myself and
really enjoy it and am glad have
some such work to do-every test is
handled just as carefully as though it
were nv own Cream.
/ especially need your support this
season after which / hope to be in a
position TO serve you better and bet
ter. If you feel that your best in
terests will be served by patronizing
me I'll very much appreciate the sup
port; if not, feel free to cali at any
time and Wen be glad together for
past fayors. Most Sincerely,
w. f. SwIGGETT.
To the Farmers of Trego County.
Justice to the other members of
the board of directors of the Farmers
Cooperative Association requires
that l answer the above letter
First let me express, for myself and
the board of directors, our thanks to
Mr.. Swiggett for going to the trouble
and expense of notifying our members
and others within 4S hours after
contract was signed that the board
of directors had completed arrange
ments for produce station at Wa
Keeney. He beat me tobit. There
by proving his contention that he is
one of us.
In regard TO his request for an op-
portunity to make a proposition &c
handle our produce: Some four
months ago he asked if we were going
to establish a station. On receiving
an Affirmative reply he asked If a
proposition from him would be con.
sidered and as secretary of the board
of directors, / told him that / would
present it to the board. Later ]
asked him if he was ready to sell tC
the union and received the reply
that he wasn't anxious at all, be.
lieve / can hold great deal of my
trade" No proposition was ever
made and if any discourtesy was
shown l accept the entire response
bility for same believing that he haG
ample time TO present any PROPOSE
tion which he had in mind.
There has been at no time any
question of any dealers integrity OF
ability to handle the produce bust
ness. The price of cream is fixed By
the contracting company. The egg
market is open to all. / do not SCI
how Mr.. Swiggett can claim con
sistently that he has any very great
influence on the market.
AS far as the pleasure of the work
is concerned, my own observation j:
that it is now and has always been
| pleasure TO serve the GEAR peopl,
the larger the profit or salary attach
| ed the greater the pleasure in serv
ing. As TO Mr.. Swiggett being enri
tied to continued support, our FRIEND
