The farmers and business |

dig hands in the promotion of 
a Stokes County Fair. We are i
building up our organization ON
a non-profit basis, our whole 1
aim being the promotion of the I
agricultural welfare of Stokes
county. Farmers of every '
township of Stokes county have *
purchased stock in the fair on
this basis. This assures the in
terest and eo-opeiVition of the
larniers in the development of
a successful f«ir. I
Quite a number of legistemi (
(iuernsey cattle have been re- (
cently brought into Stokes
county. The Stokes county fan* '
will bring together the largest 
number of registered (luernsey 
cattle ever exhibited in this i
county. i
Our catalog is now in the
making. We will distribute
2500 or .'SOOO copies among the
leading citizens of Stokes coun
ty. This catalog will be read
by nearly every reading person
in Stokes county. An adver- '
tisement in it will be a good in
vest nvnt. It will pay you we'l ;

this in a spirit of co-operation,
and at the same time you will
-realize that what you spend fo-
advertising in thi catalog will
be a good business investment.
Our representative will call
l
to see you within a few days.
