TX7ITH0UT a market, ngriculture could not be the
basis of our national prosperity that it is.
Marketing turns production into wealth and those
jiprencios that holp farmers find profitable outlets are
important aids to the country's welfare. Stripped of
Till discussion, the function of the packers is to find mar
kets. Because of their success in doing this, Armour
find Company are today "The American Fanner's Big
srest Customer."
Outlets must bo maintained
for normal supply. Foreign
tales must be developed for ex
cess yield. In c shortage of
any product, acceptable alter
catives must be distributed to
relieve the" need and to keep
markets ready v.I.rn the yield
Is again heavy. Fresh com
modities which will not bear
transportation, and would thus
Le unprofitable to produce,
must be packaged for reserve
use elsewhere. There must be
manufacture and sale of all by
products. And these are
among the services which Ar
mour and Company render
one of the economic reasons
why we handle food in so many
different forms.
To perform cfficientltt, our
entire system 7ir:t t-t operate as
o whole. It will not function
piece-meal. Our preparation
plants, at point. where foods
lire grown, would become
choked without our four hun
dred Branch Houses absorbing
production. Our branches,
carrying the several days' re
serve supply that makes users
veil nigh independent of rail
road uncertainties, must con
tinually wage a competitive
light for sales. We must finance
producers for the thirty, sixty
or ninety days necessary pay
cash for raw products, and
then prepare, transport and
cell on customary credits. Our
refrigerator cira have to be
steadily carrying the supply
forward to the tables of the
nation. As the Interstate Com
merce Commission in its report
of August last says:
"The carriers (railroads) of
the country could not so effec
tively handle the entire refrig
erator car equipment as is now
done by the intervention of pri
vate owners. The meat packer
could no more do business on
an economical and efficient
basis without his private cars
than he could without his
modern equipped refining or
packing plant."
Marketing, however, does not
consist merely in taking what
producers offer and selling it.
Scientific selling must begin
with the best growing of those
food3 the country most needs.
To this end our Farm Bureau
was inaugurated as a point
of contact with, growers and
to help bring about a better
understanding of mutual prob
lems. And It is largely because
Armour and Company are thus
continuously working to mar
ket the products of the Ameri
can farm that you are sure of
steady food supply. Under
standing this, you must appre
ciate that In asking your dealer
for Armour Products you are
lending your support to a sys
tem that works to the country's
economic good and to your own
best interest.

UPMOB1LE performance stands out as a thing

positive quality of performance, uncommon

The explanation is that eleven years of persistent, scien

One of the results of this close application is an engine
