BOUGHT UNCLE'S
NEWSPAPER.

The paper was started as a political
organ to support the Greenback party
| Neither the paper nor the party gained
much strength in Iowa and Meredith
and his uncle had a grim struggle to
make expenses. In 1901 Meredith and
I a printer friend bought the paper. In
1909 Meredith founded Successful
Farming now one of the largest and
most prosperous farm publications in
the country.
"At the start 1t was a little sheet.
scanty in news and scantier in adyer-
tising. but it had certain principles
and the young publisher was a
fighter.
The initial number carried the an
nouncement that only clean adver-
tising would be accepted. The first
few issues were refused by the de-
livery wagons hired to take them to
the postotice until payment was
made. The postoffice would not mail
them until the postage was paid. Few
believed in the ultimate success of the
magazine. But Meredith had a way
with him and it was but few years
until farm publishers of the country
were forced to reckon with a
'comer'
His publicat tion today has over SO0,-
COO circulation and the net profit from
each monthly issue is estimated to be
$4,000. Meredith not long ago sum-
med up his rule for success in three
words: integrity. industry and imagi-
nation. -
Imagination spells the difference
between small success and big sue

Service to his readers is one of
Meredith's hobbies. One of the big
gest things the farmer can do is to

Meredith says.

And w. Z. Battenfield said this
about Mr.. Meredith:
From a penniless boy OF an Iowa
farm to Secretary of Agriculture in
President Wilson's Cabinet and mil
lionaire farm paper publisher. Such
has been the rise of Edwin T. Mere
dith, i'm his life span of forty-three
years.
Born on a farm near Avcca, Iowa,
December %. 1876. Meredith of neces-
sity early became Interested in the
game of making money. His first
chance came when his father gave
him a little runt OF pig and told him
that with proper care the pig might
be raised and sold at a profit.
Meredith thought it was the oppor-
tunity of a lifetime. Boylike, he
jumped at the chance and from that
minute the runt of a pig was hand
fed, watched over, sheltered and pro-
tected. 1t grew and waxed fat and
young Meredith soon sold it at a nice
profit.
Leaving the farm. Meredith entered
Highland Park College, at Des Moines.
He had no money from home except
a little he had saved, SO he paid his
way through college by tending fur
naces and waiting on tables. Mathe-
matics was his favorite study.
His first job after leaving college
was as a printer with Des Moines
firm. In 1899 his uncle. Thomas Mere
dith, started the famous Tribune here
and young Ed became his assistant.
