EQUITY
EXCHANGE
NOTES
Edited by
W. T. BRATTON
t
Manager Guymon Equity Exchange
Many plans have been evolved by)
the leaders of thought in agricultural
and other productive interests by
which it was sought to save to the i
producer some of the profits that in
ordinary channels of business have
gone to the support of the non-pro-
ducer. Of the various plans that have
been tried out, so many failed or
proved impractical that the old sys-
tems have declared that these organi-
zations are harmless because farmers
will not stand together in their own
interest.
It remained for C. O. Drayton of |
Greenville, Illinois, to bring out the
Kquity Union plan that is making the
business world sit up and take notice.
Beginning with the producer at the
primary market, it is ou/ purpose to
follow the produce to the ultimate con-
sumer, and after paying the cost of
preparing and marketing their product,
turn the profits back to the producer.
It is not our purpose to cut prices
or demoralize markets; we make no
fight on established business institu-j
tions; in fact, we adopt much of their
own method. We do not exact exor-
bitant profits in buying or selling, only
enough to he sure to cover inevitable
losses and the cost of operating, turn-
ing all in excess of that back to the
individuals who have furnished the
business and the capital.
An E(|uitv Exchange directly benefits
every individual in the community
where it is established, by stabilizing
markets, holding profits at a reason-
able margin and building a community
spirit of interest and confidence.
Items of common interest will be
found each week in this column. Read
them.
If we are to succeed as an organiza-
tion of producers, we must set out
upon a progrnm of education that will
teach the city man, the purchaser, that
the farmer is his real friend; and on
the other hand, the farmer will find
out that tile consumer is his greatest
friend. And whenever we knock down
the toll gates between the producer
and the consumer, we are going to
accomplish a great deal.
Our experience in meeting with the
different exchanges has shown that
there are always some stockholders
who complain that their manager hires,
too much help and pays too much for
this help. Just last week in one meet-1
ing, a stockholder said that a certain
organization was employing four men
as bookkeepers when he knew one
man could do the work. At the same .
meeting another man objected to the'
salaries that were being paid. He said
that he was hiring a good man for his
farm work for $20 per month, and that
a bookkeeper could not earn $100 per
month. If we were hiring a farm hand
for $20, we would try and keep the
matter quiet.
When the stockholders get educated
to the fact that their business is being
handled by their hoard of directors
and manager, and that these men are
doing the best that they can to handle
the business, employing only what help
is necessary and paying only such
wages as is necessary to get good
help, we will have gone a long way
toward building stronger exchanges.
