PLEASANT GROVE
FARMERS ARE

The Farmers Exchange wGs estab-
lished for three reasons: % The
farm bureau could not handle the
business OF the farmers successfully;
q, There was q great need for some
Mace of business where feeds could
he obtained and service rendered /;
q, The farmers felt as tho they
could handle their own business and
reap their own profits.
These three needs have been
met TO marked degree by the Pleas
ant Grove Farmers Exchange, and
as time goes on its efficiency VIII DC
increased. Their business is increa-
sed daily as the farmers, chicken men
and fruit growers learn about their
methods Of business and their ability
for service.
Fifty-two members are already en-
rolled and more are asking Tor mem
brship. Among this number can Dc
found the most progressive men II
mo community Men who find
great deal Of pride in doing their owl
business,
Not only the members of the FIX
change have found its services val
uable. over half the business Is dom
with non-members, as they receive TIL
