THE GREAT SOLAT TRAGEDY.
I )o you want to sell your farm or any part of
it? Circumstances arise in the life of every farm­
er which make him desirous of disposing of his
property. It make no difference what may cause
him to reach this decision—it is going to be the
business of the
Farmers’ Co-operative Realty Co.
to c<. operate with the farmer in making tranafera of farm property. It is tfoing to be
the helpful medium between the man who wants to sell and the man who wants to buy
a medium that Ixith parties can depend ujion with the utmost confidence.
Eastern Advertising
of the kind that reaches the right people at the
right time and appeals to them in the right way, is
the method this company will employ in getting re­
sults. This country needs new settlers,and the dis­
satisfied East is where they must come from. The
Farmers’ Co-operative Realty Co. is in a position to
reach these prospective settlers. Its policy will be
publicity, and no money will be spared in extending
the field of its operations. Inquiries from every
State in the Middle West are expected as soon as
its great advertising campaign has been launched.
