"FROM FARM TO YOU"

Every year there is an abundance of food
grown upon the farms that never reaches the
market, but goes to waste. This happens be-
cause the farmer has had no direct represen-
tative in the market to sell his products.
Under the old way, the products of the
farm, in being sold, must go through so many
hands, and provide for so many profits, that
the farmer could not afford to sell only the
more valuable products. And in consequence,
much good and wholesome food which might
be utilized and appreciated by people of the
city, was neglected, and left to waste on the
farm.
Therefore, it became necessary for the
farmer to become a business farmer, and pro-
vide some way to prevent the numerous prof-
its derived by brokers and jobbers, in the
marketing of his products, saving for him-
self and the consumer the numerous market-
ing wastes heretofore experienced.
So with this in view, the Gleaner Clearing
House Association was organized. A sales
organization owned entirely by producing
farmers, to sell the farmers produce of every
kind, and save for the farmer, as well as the
consumer, the numerous profits heretofore
realized by others.
The Gleaner Clearing House Association
has undertaken to do this great work, and
today hundreds of farmers, through this
organization, are supplying great quantities
of food to the good people of Detroit and
other cities, much of which heretofore has
gone to waste, and this at a reasonable profit
to the farmer and still within the reach of
the consumer.
Thus the plan "FROM FARM TO YOU"
carries with it not only the permanent benefit
of converting the heretofore producer into a
business farmer, marketing all of his produce
through his own sales department without
wastes or profits to middlemen, but provides
the opportunity of communities in the cities
to procure food fresh from the farm at
wholesale prices.
In order that the Gleaner Clearing House
Association may receive and dispose of the

great volume of produce and foodstuff corn-
ing from hundreds of farmers throughout
the country, it becomes necessary to sell at
wholesale, assuring the good people of the
city their proportion of benefit, in this great
movement "FROM FARM TO YOU." You
are given the opportunity to buy your food
at wholesale, PROVIDING YOU ORGAN-
IZE COMMUNITY CLUBS TO PUR-
CHASE YOUR REQUIREMENTS IN
QUANTITIES WARRANTING
WHOLESALE PRICES.

So in carrying out this great plan "FROM
FARM TO YOU," the farmer has organized
to supply you with food without profit to
speculators, and you as consumers SHOULD
organize to buy this product direct from the
farmer at wholesale, doing away with the
former farm and marketing waste.

Under this great plan "FROM FARM TO
YOU," the great armies of producers and
consumers are becoming more intimately as-
sociated, resulting in a greater benefit to
both.
The Gleaner Clearing House Association
is supplied from the farm and the co-opera-
tive farm factories, with a quantity of fin-
ished food products, such as Flour, Sugar,
Canned Fruits, Vegetables, Smoked Meats,
Salt Meats, Poultry, Butter, Eggs, Cheese
and Veal, all "FROM FARM TO YOU,"
with reasonable profits to the farmer and
wholesale prices to your purchasing clubs.
The Gleaner Clearing House Association
can supply "FROM FARM TO YOU," your
requirements of potatoes, onions, cabbage
and other fresh vegetables, together with
fresh fruits, including apples, peaches, ber-
ries, etc., in season, assuring a reasonable
profit to the farmer and a wholesale price to
your organized community.
Will your community organize a buying
club and co-operate with the farmers in this
great movement, "FROM FARM TO
YOU"? If so, no benefit will be greater than
yours. We are with you in this great eco-
nomic movement, and will gladly assist your
efforts at organization. Call us up.
