BARTON BROTHERS
Roadside Farm Market
Fruit-Yegetahles


Collins Corner on Haddonfield Road
1t didn't take an expert to write that
advertising copy which the Bartons'
used in three-inch space in their To-
cal papers; but it was strong enough
to pull $500 worth of sales in one day.
The same amount of produce, sold
wholesale, according to the terminal
market quotations, would have brought
Barton Brothers about 500, and they
would have had to haul it to market,
pay commissions and other expenses.
And Bartons, primarily fruit grow
ers, had to produce vegetables because
the consumers asked for them. Sweet
corn, big seller, often moves at the
rate of 100 dozen day.
v. A. Houghton, Maine poultryman,
will gladly testify to the value of local
advertising. During the Matching sea-
son he sold eggs at $1.5O setting. The
price of table eggs was IS cents
dozen. A few dollars worth of pub
licity netted SIS extra profit on the
egg deal.
Il can't help but believe in advertis-
ing" he explained. Here's another
reason: / spent 63 cents for CLASH
fled ad after / had sold 10 large
dressed cockerels for $1.2O each be-
cause the return was too small. Local
neighbors bought 80 males for breed
ing purposes through the 21-word ad,
paying me 500. / could have sold al
most a dozen more If had them"
F. G. Croker, like many other Me-
braska pure bred hog breeders, held
two big auction sales year. He sells
direct to the farmer now, finding it
much cheaper and more profitable. Ad-
vertising does the selling. It's cheap,
using small space; but even lower
prices bring him greater net returns
because Of reduced expense.
Markets patronized by people liv-
ing in nearby towns can often make
good use of newspaper advertising,
medium which is especially helpful in
moving SURPRISES at the peak season."
said FL. p. CASTOR, roadside marketing
expert of the Michigan state college.
"The plan followed by some growers,
when confronted with surplus, is to
reduce the price on the product in
question, making it drawing card to
get people to come to the market. Sat-
istied customers buy other commodi-
ties and come again, and, though the
grower may make little profit on the
sale of the featured product, he avoids
loss and is doing the thing which will
develop his patronage.
"The effectiveness of newspaper ad-
vertising depends. among other things,
upon the location of the market. the
kind Of products offered for sale, their
quality and price. and on the class of
people who read the paper. These fac
tors are so variable that the only way
for any individual farmer to determine
what may be accomplished by this
means is to give it trial.
advertising copy should be pre-
pared with the realization that pros
pective customers will want to know
what products are for sale, the prices
charged. and where the market is To-
Gated. Many newspaper Offices. If sup
plied with the essential facts, furnish
the service of some one trained in writ
ing advertisements to put them In final
form, or at least make suggestions as
to how it should be DONE"

5000 watermelons brought $500. But
that wasn't all. Potatoes, squash, pop
corn and few other such products
were bought freely from piles near the
gate where customers stopped to pay
for the watermelons they picked.
"The way watermelon Day took
