What Makes the Tractor Show

tor demonstrations IRON the start was
the fact that there was an able per
sonnel back of the show. No enter
prise can be greater than the men
behind it.
Another important reason for sue
cess was the fact that all the nine
men in the management of the tractor
show were from one Organization
The Twentieth Century Farmer. They
had been working together for years
and there was real cooperation in
their tractor show work, which might
not have been the case if more than
one organization had been interested.

The everyday" titles of these nine
men were as follows: c. c. Rose
water, general manager and Publisher;
r. F. Sturgess, editor -in-chief; r. R.
Foster, advertising manager; A. E.
Hildebrand, advertising representa-
tive; E. Z. Russell, associate editor;
