FAIR VALLEY FARM
Read Marketing Bulletin Ahead.

There are various ways in which the
farm name can be displayed to the
owners financial advantage. Any farm
will be better remembered by passing
strangers If its name appears In neat
lettering over or beside the main en-
trance or across the face of barn.
The farmer who possesses an auto
truck--and he is legion these days--is
overlooking splendid advertising OPP
portunity If he does not have the name
of his farm and his special products
neatly lettered on the side of his

Mention advertising to the old-time
farmer and he thinks Of large display
type announcements more or less ex-
pensively illustrated. But modern
farmers have found scores of ways by
which they can attract buyers for their
products. The suggestions offered
herewith are designed particularly for
ply given grade Of goods in sufficient
quantities to meet stable demand.
Butter, eggs, live and dressed poultry.
dressed meat home-rendered lard, sau-
sage, fruit and vegetables are among
the commodities the sales OF which can
be bettered by some form Of farm adj
vertising.
There are many means Of direct APP
peal to buyers which are made par
ticularly profitable by the tremendous
increase In auto travel. Today that
farm is remote indeed which Is not
passed many times week by town or
city motorists, the majority of whom
are possible customers for the farmer.
Consequently he must look well to the
appearance Of his place. Perhaps UNI
slightly features of which he Is not con-

discern these signs of laxness, hesi-
tates to purchase at such farm.
Uses for Bulletin Boards.
A bulletin board near the front gate
is big asset, if carefully prepared. In
addition to the name of the farm or
the farm owner, it should state In sim
pie, large type the kinds Of produce
for sale and the prices. Some farmers
have found supplementary notices,
placed at proper distance on either
side of the main bulletin board, very
valuable in calling attention to the lat

Many farmers who handle consid.

profitable to use distinctive, printed
wrappers. Another simple means of
advertising Is neatly printed gummed
labels for use on the outside of pack
ages sent by parcel post or express.
Advertisements In local or metropolis
tan papers should be short and should
give a description of the goods with
the prices, and the name and address
of the person advertising. In some
cities the Sunday edition gives better
results than the daily edition.
What Advertiser Should Know.
The person who advertises must Of
fer d product that Is wanted by the
persons who read the paper at the
time the product is advertised, In the
places where the paper has clrcula-

what to ADVERTISE when to advertise,
and where to advertise. The follow
ing are suggested forms for parcel
