PERSONAL SERVICE.

Personal service is the creates,
factor in the world that is found back
of a strong selling force and it seems
to be the thing today that is making
for success in business. Take any
of the nationally advertised goods
They are handled through a local rep
resentative in every city, town ano
village in the country. They are
goods that have an iron clad guaran-
tee and the local salesman has at his
back the manufacturer OF those
goods to make that guarantee gooo
to the purchaser. Hence the man
who is buying at home, no matter
what he buys, is dealing with the
agent direct and that agent, in order
to give absolute satisfaction, is de-
termined to have a satisfied custom
er.
Take the woman who sent to a
mail order house for some dress
goods and a pair of shoes. She founo
after receiving the order that there
was not quite enough Of the goods
for her dress and the shoes didn't fit.
A party was on in few days and she
simply had to have the dress but did
Mt have time to send in sample to
match for enough more of the goods
to make the dress. How easy ii
would have been for the lady if she
had been buying the dress at home.
You say such things don't happen
often, but how about the man who
bought piece Of machinery from a
mail order house and later, when he
needed an extra for repairs, founo
that his M. o. H. did not have the
piece in stock and that the man
would have to wait an indefinite per-
iod until it could be received from
the factory. What difference he
would have found had he bought a
standard machine from his own home
town merchant And the conven
ience of dealing with the agent dl
rectly on the ground would havs
meant more to this man than all the
difference in cost, if there had been
any difference. Yet on standard
made nationally advertised goods
the price is the same the country
over.
Personal service is something O..
rare value to the man or woman who
is buying goods and that is just the
service you receive when you follow
the plan Of buying at home.

This is the spirit with which the

1t was a fortunate thing that the
wheat field did not catch fire, accord
ing to Ben Anderson, who arrived
shorty after the barn had burned
down. According to Mr.. Anderson /.

Legion Weekly, in the words of its
editor, lis born on this one hundred
and forty-third anniversary of the
signing Of the Declaration of lnde-

principles and ideals Of the epochal
document in human liberty are those
of The American Legion, which The
American Legion Weekly represents.
"The Legion itself is a spontane-
our expression Of purpose by those
millions of Americans who helped
crush autocracy. Out OF their COM
mon experiences through the dark
months of the war has grown COM
radeship and a patriotism which is
vitalized by their organization into
this single concrete force which will
stand always as barrier against the
forces Of greed, ignorance and
chaos"
"The American Legion is the epit-
ONE Of that Americanism for which
it stands. Its voice is the majority
voice of its members; its will the will
Of many. Spontaneous in inception,
it has been democratic in its develop
ment. There are no titles recorded
on its rolls. it is free Of rank, Of cast

COOPERATIVE MARKETING

Cooperative marketing provides a
simple, inexpensive way for the far
mers to market their live stock, ac-
cording to R. W. Clark. Of the Agri-
cultural College. Mr.. Clark says:
"The farmers simply form an organ
ization and hire manager. Whenev.
er farmer has any live stock to sell
he notifies the manager and as soon
as enough stock has been reported to
make a shipment, cars are ordered and
the shipment goes forward: Ihls
system Of marketing is increasing the
quality and quantity Of live stock
wherever it is used. 1t grows in IA
vor rapidly when the farmer becomes
acquainted with it.
"a report on recent shipment OF
cattle to Denver from the Western
Slope shows that the farmers recelv-
ed $977 per head more than they were
offered at home. Some of the AMI
mails sold for SO more per head than
the local market offered.
"The manager is placed under bond
and he is paid by the hundred, live
weight, to look after the business.
This system of marketing will rev.
olutionize animal production in Colo
rado. and there should be an associa-
ton in every community"
