Red.CIoudAugust, 11, iwjsi. olciierafiB-isb j - 1.00 We have always dealt with our patrons in a fair, square, open and above board fashion, giving you the best possible price for your produce and selling you goods at the lowest possible margin of profit. We believe in "putting all the cards on the table" Our competitors have advanced the price of cream five cents above the station price in order to attract attention to this particular item, using this as a bait to get your business coming their way after which the price can easily be adjusted to normal. We pay you as much as you can get any where By mis-leading advertisements you might be lead to believe that our competitors are pay ing more for your produce than the Farmers Union, but this is not, true WE POSITIVELY PAY YOU AS MUCH AS ANYBODY and what profit we make is paid back in dividends. It is a splendid idea for the farmer who has had any differences occur in his tests, to weigh his cream before he takes it to a station. It is possible for an advanced test to be given by deducting from your weight, which is very misleading to the patron. The Farmers Union J. F. Edwards, Mgr. A 727 Red Cloud, Neb.
