John Foller of Lisbon, N. D., was a
pleasant visitor at the st. Paul office
on Monday. Mr.. Foller accompanied
a carload of livestock here owned by
him, George Foller and Ed Filbey. Mr..
F'oller is one of those farmers who can
always be depended upon to stand by
any cooperative undertaking which
the farmers engage in.
P. J. Byrne Of Nortonville, N. d.,
the first man to accompany ship
ment of livestock to the Equity Co.
operative Exchange at South St. Paul,
part of which was of his own raising,
returned to St. Paul Saturday and said
that as he was leaving the city after
having sold his cattle, he met another
shipper who remarked, "Your cattle
were not as good as mine but still you
got a dime more for them" This
looks good for the Equity Exchange
and will go a long way toward making
shippers for the Farmers Own Sell
ing Agency.
