Farmers' grain companies here have always been most successful of all farmers' institutions and t lie .Manley Co-Op Grain Assn. has borne out this fact to a remarkable degree. This concern was established over 30 years ago and Harry Haws has managed it 11 years.

This popular association is known throughout this section as being re liable and has a reputation for pay ing highest market prices for grain at all times. Their motto is "HIGH EST PRICES FOR GRAIN, consist ent with quality." There are over 65 sto; kholders.
