AGRICULTURAL ADVERTISING The Agricultural Epitomist The World's Greatest Exponent of Correct Farming. It is edited and published on the 650 acre farm of the Epitomist Experiment Station of which Institution it is the Official Organ. This fact alone guarantees to its advertising patrons greater publicity of the right kind than can be gained through any other agricultural medium in the world. Every businesslike Agriculturist is interested in the Epitomist Experiment Station which is the fountain head of all practical progress in and through the columns of the Agricultural Epitomist they learn what is being accomplished at this Model Institution. Any shrewd advertiser who will give a little consideration to this proposition will readily understand the unequalled opportunity of gaining the attention of the leading men engaged in Farm Industry. Throughout its long successful career, extending over twenty-three years, the Epitomist has always been the acknowledged authority on agriculture. For the past four years it has proved its teachings by practical experiments on its 650-acre farm. Since the Epitomist Experiment Station has been organized into a cooperative society, thousands of the most progressive farmers have become stockholders in it, for its benefits are evident to every one. We only ask that you investigate, that you bring your unbiased judgment to bear in considering the value of The Agricultural Epitomist as a general and agricultural advertising medium. Start now by sending for one of the handsome thirty-two page booklets that has been published which tells about this co-operative society, explains how it is associated with your interests and clearly demonstrates its plan of mutual benefit.
