Jasper County Democrat, Volume 20, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 May 1917 — THE PRICE OF FEED. [ARTICLE]

THE PRICE OF FEED.

[National Crop Improvement Service.] Feed is handled on a smaller margin than coal, ton for ton. The retail feed dealer who buys in carload lots can sell as cheap as*the manufacturer can ih less-than-carload lots, the difference in freight rates being the dealer’s gross profit. In nearly every instance, a group of farmers can order their feed, through a dealer, in carloads and make a material saving. The difference in freight alone will show a good profit.
